All interconnects are standalone and most systems require no cuts or jumpers. The XD10 requires 3U of standard rack space (5 1/4 x 15 x 19 inches) for proper mounting. Select a space in the sound rack within three feet of the cinema processor to which you are connecting.
Page 66: Rack Mount Recommendations
Version 2.1 5.2.1.2. Rack Mount Recommendations Follow these recommendations if the XD10 is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly. • Determine the maximum and ambient temperatures within the rack, since they may be greater than the maximum and ambient temperatures in the room. The maximum temperature for the equipment in a closed or multi-rack assembly is 50°C (122F°)

Page 72: Timecode Reader Sync Adjustment
Important: Make the same size film loops inside the projector when measuring offset as when running a movie. Failure to do so will result in improper sync when the movie runs in DTS Digital mode. For two-projector houses, the reader at each projector must have the same OFFSET value.
Page 73: Dts Special Venue Timecode Offset
Verify Sound Performance 1. Thread the DTS Demo reel (Buzz and Bill) through the projector and DTS reader. Be sure the XD10 is fully booted and ready to play. The soundtrack for Buzz and Bill is factory-loaded on the hard drive.
