CNP888 Network Audio Matrix Processor, by presenting the methods of installation, configuration, operations and maintenance. If you encounter any problem, or it is the first time for you to use Digispider’s CNP888 Series, please read this manual first for relevant information and technical supports.
ANNOUNCEMENT AND PROVISIONS The manual prepared by Digispider Inc. does not provide any form of guarantee, clear or implied, including but not limited to, implied guarantees or a special-purpose commercial reasonableness. In some areas of specific transactions is a clear or implied guarantees, therefore, this statement may not apply to you.
CHAPTER 1 CNP888 SYNOPSIS The CNP888 is a 1U CobraNet multipurpose mixing, routing, and processing device which simultaneously handles up to 8-16 audio channels in a CobraNet network system. It utilizes a SHARC processor to manipulate audio with 40-bit floating-point precision using DigiSpider’s NSP-100 software.
The front panel of CNP888 is shown as below Front Panel of CNP888 1—LCD DISPLAY Dislay the DSP mode name of the CNP888,and the local analog input/output setting information. 2—PROGRAM SELECT KNOB Turn the knob,the LCD will display the DSP mode and the setting information of the local analog input/output.
You don’t need to change the structure of the audio system — all you need do is connect the CNP888 to the CobraNet audio system using CAT-5 Ethernet cable, and then you can simultaneously process the audio channels from the local analog input or from the CobraNet input using the NSP-100 software.
Step 2 Startup CNP888, and wait for CNP888 start to work in normal status with all LCD and indicator lights turn light. Step 3 Add the CNP888 into the NSP-100 software in a right way; please refer to chapter 3 “NSP-100 quick start for CNP888”.
CHAPTER 4 NSP-100 QUICK START FOR CNP888 NSP-100 is an application software to design, edit, control the audio processing and transmitting system constructed by the Digispider device like the CNP888 series, TR2000 etc. NSP-100 is running on a standard Windows PC(Windows XP).After the design and configure have finished, the audio system would operate normally, the PC and the NSP-100 software could be removed.

Step 6: Configure the serial number for CNP888 device. Right click on the device, click the “Property” and select the right MAC for CNP888 device and then click “OK”. After allocated the MAC address of the CobraNet device, the port of the device will be valid.

Physical input CobraNet output Physical output CNP888 provides various and powerful DSP arithmetic so could be used in different applications, user just needs to drag the icon of the arithmetic into editing column, and connect the different modules by planned flow.

Step 10: solidify the DSP parameter to the CNP888 If you need to maintain the current DSP setting after restart the CNP888 device, you can adopt mode function. Click "Run">"Solidify Template" from menu and name it after have chosen a saving path. You should remember the template name and select the template via the front panel after restart the device.
CNP888 can save 8 different arithmetic templates at the most, so that user can choose one from them and no need for re-edit, but when CNP888 is under control of NSP-100,in order to keep the same arithmetic with current running software, the key of CNP888 is locked automatically in order to prevent changing arithmetic module by user.
