Extron electronics SSP 200 Setup Manual

SSP 200 • Setup Guide
The Extron SSP 200 is a high-performance surround sound processor that automatically decodes Dolby
formats from digital input sources to discrete audio outputs. Providing up to ten built-in balanced analog outputs, the SSP 200
provides the flexibility needed for pro A/V applications in corporate, commercial, and education environments. It supports
the latest immersive formats of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X plus legacy Dolby and DTS formats. An upmix function synthesizes
exceptional multichannel audio from stereo content. The SSP 200 features an HDMI input with loop through, coaxial and optical
digital inputs, and an analog stereo input. It is designed for integration into pro A/V installations, featuring a compact, half-rack
metal enclosure, RS-232 serial and LAN control, and balanced line level outputs.
This guide provides instructions for an experienced user to set up and configure the SSP 200. It covers how to connect
