With four floating-point SHARC™ digital signal processing (DSP)
engines, the SDP-5 boasts enormous processing power. These
powerful processors perform custom processing such as LOGIC7
decoding, bass enhancement, dialog enhancement, auto azimuth,
5-speaker enhancement, bass management, high-precision digital
crossovers, and audio controls. These features are available at
sample rates up to 96kHz, with 24-bit resolution to retain top
performance from all sources. In addition, a fifth DSP engine is
dedicated to decoding multi-channel compressed audio sources.
The SDP-5 is one of the most advanced audio and video control
centers available. High-precision 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters can
be used to convert stereo analog audio input signals to digital
signals, allowing the SDP-5 to provide the benefits of precise digital
signal processing without sacrificing signal integrity. Alternatively,
stereo analog signals can bypass A/D conversion and internal
processing, following a pure signal path directly to the output
connectors.
Digital audio input signals are processed through a two-stage phase
lock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter and high rejection. Auto
azimuth technology corrects timing and level imbalances in stereo
sources, ensuring exceptionally accurate playback of surround-
encoded sources. A digital audio pass-through output is available for
recording digital signals with a CD recorder or a similar component.
ABOUT THE SDP-5
Thank you for purchasing the SDP-5 Digital Controller, an 8-
channel audio and video control center with independent zone
monitoring that provides control of audio and video source
selection in two zones at the same time. The SDP-5 includes eight
configurable inputs, each of which can be assigned to its eight
digital audio, eight analog audio, five composite video, five S-video,
or three component video input connectors. The analog connectors
can be configured for up to two 5.1-channel sources.
Inside and out, the SDP-5 is designed for possible future
developments. The rear panel houses one RS-232 connector
capable of performing configuration downloads and flash memory
software upgrades and another capable of supporting future
developments. The rear panel also includes two removable access
panels to accommodate connectors for emerging technologies.
More than just an audio and video control center, the SDP-5 offers
the latest version of the critically acclaimed LOGIC7® decoding,
which creates a 7.1-channel output signal from stereo, 5.1-, and
6.1-channel sources. Unlike other decoders, LOGIC7 decoding is
compatible with all input sources and requires no special encoding.
Because the improvement it provides is clearly audible, LOGIC7 is
widely regarded as the finest available.
In addition to LOGIC7, the SDP-5 offers Dolby Digital Surround EX,
Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic, dts 96/24, dts NEO:6, dts-ES,
THX Ultra2, and THX Surround EX decoding. THX Ultra2 Certification
guarantees that the SDP-5 meets the highest THX specifications.
