IQ–MSD Turbo 1.4 Advanced IQ System Software
move the actual threshold 3 dB below the Threshold control setting.
Hardware The physical electronic component(s) of a computerized system. The computer itself is hardware.
An amplifier is hardware.
Host Computer A computer (IBM PC compatible or Apple Macintosh) that is connected to an IQ System via
an IQ interface and runs the IQ program (software).
Idle Gain An Auto Level parameter that sets the initial gain used when an input is first turned on by the Gate
function. It overrides the Max Gain control so that the Auto Level function will not cause sudden shifts in gain when
an input is first turned on.
IOC An Input/Output Comparator that continuously monitors the audio signal path through a Crown amplifier for
any kind of distortion to provide dynamic proof of performance. It does this by comparing the shape of the input
waveform to that of the output. The amplifier is okay when IOC is not on (displays "Ok"). If distortion equals or
exceeds 0.05%, it displays "IOC".
IQ Address Each IQ component in a Crown Bus loop must have a unique address. No two IQ components
of the same model that are connected to the same Crown Bus loop can have the same address. A valid IQ address
is any number from 1 to 250.
IQ–CAG A circuit card cage that mounts into a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack. It is used to house
such IQ components as matrixers, drones and their LPS power supplies.
IQ Component A hardware or software device which serves a particular function in an IQ System. For
example, mixers, IQ–P.I.P.s, matrixers and graphics plates are all considered IQ components.
IQ–INT, IQ–INT II An IQ interface that can simultaneously connect 8 different Crown Bus loops to a single host
computer.
IQ–MSD A computer program (software) for controlling and monitoring an IQ System. It runs on a PC-
compatible computer.
IQ–MSD Sys-Config A computer program (software) for controlling, monitoring, scheduling and securing
an IQ System. It runs on a PC-compatible computer, provides all of the features of IQ–MSD Turbo plus multiple
security levels, automatic scheduling capability and the ability to create custom stand-alone IQ programs that are
tailored to an individual operator.
IQ–MSD Turbo A computer program (software) for controlling and monitoring an IQ System. It runs on a PC-
compatible computer and supports higher communication baud rates as well as color VGA graphics with
customizable graphics plates.
IQ P.I.P. Programmable input processors that connect a Crown P.I.P.-compatible amplifier to an IQ System so
it can be controlled and monitored by the system. Several different models are available with varying features from
basic manual controls to advanced automatic functions and DSP functions.
IQ–PSI An IQ Pocket Serial Interface that can connect one Crown Bus loop to a single host computer. (The IQ–
PSI also provides a AUX port.)
