Network Bridge

All-Digital Cinema Solution
A t the heart of a Digital B-Chain
Bridge allows you to distribute multiple channels of digital audio over
standard fast Ethernet hardware and cabling for use in traditional, e-cinema
and d-cinema applications.
The DBC Network Bridge accepts standard analog and/or AES digital audio
and CobraNet ™ digital channels from other Cinema processors (Dolby
DTS ), Cinema Servers, or Alternative Content Media Players; and bridges
®
them to a Crown DBC network.
This network is Crown's proprietary "Single-Click" solution that provides
system control, monitoring, and digital audio transport. The DBC network
(fed by the DBC Network Bridge) distributes the digital audio and system-
wide control protocol to Crown amplifiers. The DBC Network Bridge also
provides the necessary system equalization, which is stored and recalled
via a series of presets for use in both feature film and alternative content
programming.
