User Guide

Dear Audiophile,
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the Cinecitta’ multi-channel Audio Video
Processor. Now you own the equipment which establishes the new landmark in that
narrow category of audio/video products which put together the quality, the versatility
and completeness of the high-end products. The Cinecitta’ Processor associates circuit
solutions without compromising functional features to satisfy even the most fussy
user. Circuits with discrete components and high performance, functional sections on
removable and updateable cards, total configuration, interfacciabilita’ with the PC or
home automation equipments: solutions which make the Cinecitta’ Processor a profitable
investment.
Construction Features
Analogue circuits with discrete components, wide bar and low counter reaction
Phono amplifier MM/MC and tape bar buffer with integrated circuits and high
performance.
Very high quality passive components: low or very low tolerance metal resistors,
polyester or polypropylene low tolerance non polarized capacitors, high capacity with
low loss electrolytic condensers, low capacity with organic electrolyte electrolytic
condensers.
Volumes regulators with integrated resistors web without buffer for maximum
transparency of sound.
Relay of commutation with gold plated silver contacts. No capacitors on the way of
the signal.
Circuit to recover the offset.
Analogue supply with toroidal transformer, two different supply lines and 5 independent
regulation phases.
Decoding digital card for the replaceable audio multi-channel. Compatibility with
Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro-Logic II, DTS-ES-Neo:6. A rewriting memory includes
the decoding algorithms: it is so possible to update the purchased algorithms or to add
some new ones if available through the interface RS-232 included.
Converters D/A with 8 channels,192kHz/24bit. Converters A/D stereo 192Khz/24bit.
Reference clock with low jitter.
Replaceable I/O audio digital card. Electric 192KHz/24bit coaxial inputs, Toslink
96kHZ/24bit optical inputs. Tape output with separated bar. It is possible to transfer on
the digital tape bar even the analogue channel selected for listening prior to A/D
conversion.
Digital supply with 8 independent regulation phases.
Replaceable video card. Channels. Composite, S-Video and component. Exits:
composite, S-Video, Component YcbCr or RGB con configuration synchronism, on
3x RCA connector or Dsub-15. Four formats are available contemporarily, thanks to
a cross-conversion digital matrix. It is possible to deactivate the non-used exits to
minimize the noise of the video.
Video commutation with solid condition switch with very wide band.
Very high-speed exit buffer. Counter –images filters with discrete components with
very high gradient, for an optimal connection with digital display. Available synchronisms
on RCA connectors in various ways.
Triple A/D, 12bit/54MHz converter. Six, 10bit/54MHz, D/A converters connected
outputs, triple D/A,11 bit/54MHz converters for the progressive outputs.
Separate tape bar with composite exits and S-Video. It is also possible to send to the
tape output signals bound to the monitor exits; in this way it will be possible to obtain
a format conversion. It is so possible, for instance, to record composite source or
component on a record player equipped only with S-Video exit.
Deinterlacing PAL and NTSC circuit with Faroudja DCDi algorithms.
On-screen Display external to the conduct for the video signal to preserve best quality
of image.
Reference clock with low jitter
Video supply with 7 independent regulation phases.
Organizing system with multiple concurrent control.: from front panel, from remote
control and from interface RS-232.
Organizing system with a net of micro checkers, 16bit master checker. Organizing
software of the equipment updateable with. PC.
Selection able Remote control group code to avoid further interferences with remote
controls from other equipments. Automatic teaching remote control system to program
learning remote controls directly from the processor or for reprogramming the
supplied remote control in case of battery decay.
Very wide frontal display with complete set-up for the equipment configuration when
the Tv display or the monitor is missing. High-resolution encoder for the selectors.
Four levels regulating display brilliance.
Organizing system, configuration and updating of the decoding algorithms of the
supplied software in Windows.
