IQ-PIP USP3/CN
SmartAmp Automation for TCP/IQ
T
he Crown IQ-PIP USP3/CN is a 3rd generation DSP-based PIP™
(Programmable Input Processor) input module for PIP2 compatible
amplifiers*. It connects the amplifier to a 100 Mb Ethernet network allowing
it to be remotely controlled and monitored via IQ. In addition, the USP3/CN
allows the transport of real-time digital audio via CobraNet over the same
Ethernet network.
The USP3/CN is a TCP/IQ series component and connects to the audio con-
trol/monitor network using standard 100 Mb Ethernet hardware (switches,
Network Interface Cards, and cables). CobraNet audio is available over the
same 100 Mb Ethernet network, providing a simple to install, single plug
solution for audio distribution, control, and monitoring.
The USP3/CN’s SHARC DSP processor gives the user an enormous amount
of digital signal processing. Audio routing, faders, meters, polarity & mute,
input compressors, filters, delays, multimode output limiters, error report-
ing, and load monitoring are all available. A built-in noise generator and sine-
wave generator provide noise masking and test capabilities. The enhanced
AUX port capability allows the user to interface with the amplifier to provide
external manual control and monitoring.
• 100 Mb Ethernet single-plug solu-
tion for both CobraNet audio and
TCP/IQ control and monitoring.
• Analog audio inputs allow audio
input to the CobraNet network,
CobraNet audio redundancy, or a
hardwire emergency override of
CobraNet audio.
• “Listen Bus” amplifier output moni-
tor via CobraNet.
• 24 bit digital to analog conversion
with 32 bit, floating point DSP pro-
cessing.
• 64 assignable filters with 9 different
filter types including all-pass filters.
• Over 2 seconds of delay available
per channel.
• Input compressors and output lim-
iters for each channel.
• Dual, uncorrelated noise generators
for noise masking.
• Sine-wave generator.
• Load supervision.
• Full error reporting.
• Firmware upgrades via the net-
work.
• 10 user selectable presets.
• Reliable FLASH memory backup of
all parameters.
