PIP-USP4 is a 4th generation DSP-based PIP
TM
(Programmable
Input Processor) input module for CTs Series two channel amplifiers. The
USP4 connects to an Ethernet network allowing it to be remotely controlled
and monitored via System Architect. In addition, the USP4 allows the
transport of real-time digital audio via AES3, CobraNet
TM
or Ethernet AVB.
The USP4 is a HiQnet
TM
series component and connects to the audio control/
monitor network using 100Mb* Ethernet hardware (switches, Network
Interface Cards, and cables). The CobraNet or Ethernet AVB audio signal
is available over the same 100Mb* Ethernet network, providing a simple to
install, single plug solution for audio distribution, control, and monitoring.
The USP4’s OMNIDRIVEHD
TM
processor gives the user an enormous
amount of digital signal processing. LevelMAX
TM
limiters, proprietary
FIR and IIR filters, audio routing, faders, meters, polarity & mute,
compressors, delays, error reporting and load monitoring are all available.
Built in noise and sine-wave generator provide noise masking and test
capabilities. The enhanced AUX port allows users to interface with the
USP4 to provide additional external control and monitoring.
Offering crisp clear sound and the widest dynamic range possible, the PIP-
USP4 provides unprecedented power and flexibility in one compact—and
very affordable—module.
The USP4 can be installed in any CTs two channel amplifier. The USP4
is available in either CobraNet or Ethernet AVB versions for digital audio
transport; with both modules still having integrated AES3 transport.
The USP4 requires Harman Pro System Architect software. The System
Architect software is available at hiqnet.harmanpro.com.
