Part number 42-02-053106 CONFIGURABLE INTUITIVE POWERFUL Flexibility ISP-100 hardware and software combine to provide three primary means of system configurability, leaving you in control of inputs/outputs, system design, and system control. External Clock Sync Input Simplicity What could be easier, select a system design, click on the components requiring adjustment, slide a fader, turn a knob, push a button; or take full advantage of the digital world and enter precise values for each setting. [. . . ] Currently online and providing solutions, both domestically and abroad, the ISP-100 is found in venues ranging from Houses of Worship, amusement parks, multi-purpose rooms and arenas, stadiums, rental systems, touring, etc. Anywhere audio installations require professional level signal processing, the ISP-100 is providing cost-effective, high fidelity solutions to consultants and contractors demanding quality results. Precision, security and repeatability typify just some of the advantages to the digital signal processing system incorporated within an ISP-100. Review the ISP-100 numbers and performance graphs generated by the R Audio Precision System II equipment used to objectively evaluate our performance levels. Consider the trueness of algorithm response graphed even at input leve ls of -120 dB (i. e. , PEQ graph). The ISP-100 utilizes 24-bit data paths which eliminates truncating algorithms. This means the only major delimiting factors on fidelity are the input/output converters. Currently offering 24-bit A/D and D/A converters, along with AES/EBU digital input/output with precise sample rate conversion from 32 to 54 kHz to a stable 48 kHz, the ISP-100 takes full advantage of its DSP processing performance. Rear RS232 General Purpose Connection (RJ45) Input (GPI) Slot 5 Output Module Slot 4 Output Module Slot 3 Output Module Slot 2 Input or Output Module Slot 1 Input Module R In addition to the built in flexibility of the ISP-100 is the compatibility with major third party serial network such as AMX , allowing you to take advantage of the many options available through these networks, such as remote controls, touch screens, zoning, etc. Modularity The ISP-100 hardware design incorporates the use of modular inputs and outputs. It has five I/O bays for custom configurations to meet the needs of your project. QuickBUILD This software tool is used to create system signal path topologies (QuickMAPs) for use in the VUE-IT software. VUE-IT This Virtual User Environment for ISP-100s was developed to provided system designers and installers the ability to take advantage of all of the positive aspects of using digital processing without having to accept the negative effects of long learning curves and unfamiliar component operation. Designed with the "look and feel" of typical pro audio gear, the VUE-IT provides intuitive graphics with faders, knobs and buttons which respond as expected when clicked on with a mouse. We even added ballistics to our meters to make you feel comfortable viewing online. Similar Components, Similar Controls, Reduced Training Time QuickBUILD allows system designers to take advantage of the DSP power within the ISP-100 and "tweak" their system to maximum performance levels. Analog and/or Digital modules in the same chassis Input and output modules are stereo pairs, allowing any ISP-100 chassis to be set up as a 2-in x 2-out up to a 2-in x 8-out, or as a 4-in x 2-out up to a 4-in x 6-out. These inputs and outputs may be analog and/or digital in any combination conforming to the overall chassis bay configuration. We offer an AES/EBU (S/PDIF) digital I/O module which incorporates two input and two output channels. [. . . ] How many ways can use an ISP-100 YOU In addition, due to the wisdom and forethought of modular input/output design a nd downloaded operating systems, obsolescence is made less A filter tool designed to let you know what your filters are doing with of a concern, since as technology allows we will continue to offer you the flexibility and precision to do it right. Click and drag for frequency, amplitude and bandwidth or key in settings with 1/10 Hz and 1/10 dB the ability to upgrade without having precision.
