DVD, LaserDisc, or VCR players. optical sound presentations in auditoriums that are The music inputs are processed through the Circle equipped for split surround operation. SMART is the Surround matrix. first manufacturer to introduce this technology into professional cinema applications.
MOD 7 STEREO PROCESSOR CONFIGURATION The MOD 7 has a number of configuration options which are detailed in the following sections. Most of the configuration options are selected throught the use of shunts (or jumpers) placed on header pins. Some of the options (such as those on the matrix board) are selected through the use of DIP switches.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION EX Power Up and Overhead Channel Configuration The MOD 7 can be configured so that EX mode is either ON or OFF at power up. If you are not using the EX format, then place this shunt in the OFF position. The MOD 7 can be configured to deliver an overhead channel from digital soundtracks.
MOD 7 STEREO PROCESSOR MATRIX CONFIGURATION Refer to the diagram on Page 9 for locations of switches Matrix LED Indicators and LEDs mentioned in this section. The STATUS LEDs indicate some of the operating condi- tions of the matrix. The RUN LED blinks once per second The DIP switches labeled CONFIGURATION are used for if the microcontroller is operating properly.
