  • Page 14: Xd10P Overview

    Caution: Provide the XD10P with adequate ventilation for cooling during operation. It is recommended that one rack space above and one below the XD10P be left open to allow outside air circulation through the unit. A ventilation panel is recommended for projection booths where the normal ambient temperature exceeds specified equipment operating temperatures listed in the safety section of this manual (page viii).

  • Page 15: Front Panel

    Each format has a preset level. During system setup, these presets can be set using a laptop computer connected to the XD10P. (See chapter 3, Using XD10P Setup.) During normal operations, the presets may be set directly on the front panel. See Changing a Format Level Preset, in chapter 2, Operations.

  • Page 16: Modules

    XD10P Cinema Audio Processor, Installation and Operation Version 1.0 1.6. Modules A removable panel allows access in order to service or replace internal modules. Two screws (left and right) secure the panel in place. Be careful to retain the panel and screws for re-installation.

  • Page 17: Control Module

    The memory module is a smartcard that resides in a small slot on the Control Module. It can be ejected and installed in a different XD10P to move the configuration information from one unit to another. But normally the memory module should remain installed in the Control Module.

  • Page 20: Automation Connections

    1.10.1. AUTOMATION INPUTS These are contact closure inputs to remotely control the XD10P. There are automation inputs for each of the eight XD10P operating modes, and a “Mute” input. These are intended to be momentary (or “pulsed”) contact closures. The “Mute” function is released by selecting (or re-selecting) one of the main input modes.

  • Page 21: Rs-232 Port

    A standard 9-pin D-type connector connects to a host PC computer, allowing you to control, configure, and/or automate the XD10P via this interface. The cable should be a standard male to female serial-to- USB adapter, to interface with the USB port of a laptop computer.

    2.4. Operation in Bypass Mode Bypass mode is triggered automatically in case the XD10P fails, or you can intentionally put the unit into Bypass mode due to an audio emergency. You might do this if the sound in the auditorium has noticeable defects, such as scratchy, garbled, or crackling sounds.

  • Page 23: Remote Fader

    However, there is no Main Fader display. 3. If needed, set the level using the Main Fader knob on the front of the XD10P. As you turn it, the sound level gradually changes. Continue turning it until the sound level is good.

    You will be adjusting the alignment of each individual channel. There are various approaches to B-chain alignment, and the procedure presented below is offered as an example, not a requirement. The intent is to show the XD10P functions that are relevant to B-chain alignment. Equipment Required: •...
  • Page 31 After the adjustment is complete, proceed with normal EQ adjustments with the XD10P Setup software, as described in the steps that follow. 1. Set up a Real Time Analyzer (RTA) with the microphone two-thirds (2/3) of the way back and one-third (1/3) of the way in from the side of the auditorium (that is, slightly off-center).

  • Page 32: Use The Copy Feature

    You may use the Copy feature to simplify this procedure (see next topic). 3.5.1. Use the Copy Feature The XD10P includes a Copy feature that minimizes the time required for re-equalizing similar channels (see Figure 3-13, below). After equalizing the center channel, copy these settings to the left, left center, right center, and right channels.

    The Bypass Level setting adjusts the sound level in case the XD10P fails or is intentionally put into bypass mode. The operator can put the XD10P into bypass mode and can adjust the sound level using the Main Fader (see page 2-1) but should NOT attempt to calibrate the bypass level.

  • Page 35: Optical Surround Gain And Delay

    2. Set the Main Fader on XD10P to 7.0. 3. Place SPL meter in auditorium. Note the auditorium reading (for example, 85 dB) and record it. 4. Turn the Power switch OFF on the XD10P. This switches the unit to bypass mode and the Bypass indicator will flash.
