11 HARDW ARE DESCRIPTION- Front Panel FRONT PANEL The front panel of the DCM series resembles traditional cinema monitor products. This provides the projec- tionist a well known and easy to understand interface. The Emergency Bypass switch setting alters the Power Status of the Center Channel amplifier .
12 Monitor Source Selection Switches: Pressing any of the Monitor Select buttons will either select or deselect the corresponding (marked) signal for monitoring. Each button can select either the Proces- sor signals (input to the DCM) or the Amplifier signals (output to the speakers), depending on the current selection of the PROC/AMP switch.
13 Diagnostics Check Button and Indicators: The Diagnostics / Indicator section includes an ex- tremely simple method of verifying proper system operation and performing basic troubleshooting.
14 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION- Front Panel Emergency Bypass: This is an extremely powerful feature. If there should ever be a problem with the DCM or system cabling, you have the ability to bypass all of the DCM active circuitry and get sound to the center channel.
15 Amplifier DataPorts: One QSC amplifier DataPort includes all connections required to send two channels of audio from the DCM to the amplifier input circuitry , and current and voltage information back from the two speaker terminal outputs.
16 From Processor Output: This connection is from the cinema processor , and is the input source of all film sound into the DCM unit. The 25-pin connector is an industry standard type and pinout, and will connect into your system very easily . These cables are available from several cinema supply houses.
17 HARDW ARE DESCRIPTION- Rear Panel T erminal Strip Connections : The terminal strip in- cludes convenient connections for output to a powered subwoofer , a Hearing Impaired audio output, and on the DCM-2 and 3, a remote control on/off logic connection ( EX MODE ) for the surround decoder system.
18 T o access the powerful crossover and system calibration functions of the DCM hardware, you must use the DCM Manager control software. A 9-pin male to female serial data cable is also needed to connect your PC to the DCM.
19 INST ALLA TION- Rack Mounting RACK MOUNTING Rack mounting of the DCM is optional. Four , self-adhesive rubber feet are included with your DCM for non- rack mount applications.
20 INST ALLA TION- Rear Rack Ears (optional accessory) For mobile and touring use, it is extremely important to support the rear of the DCM. The chassis and rack can be damaged if the DCM is not properly supported. Unless the DCM is being installed in its final, fixed location, QSC strongly recommends supporting the rear of the unit.
21 1- IEC-style AC power cord (included with the DCM) 2- QSC DataPort cable for every amplifier (8, 11, or 15 cables depending upon model) 3- Cinema Processor cable (DB25 male-male) 4- RS-232 cable (D.
22 The RS-232 port is used only for setup and system troubleshooting. Connect the 9-pin serial data cable from the host PC to this connector on the DCM. Orient the male DB9 connector to match up with the RS-232 port, push the connector into the receptacle to seat it, and finger -tighten the retaining screws.
23 The QSC DataPort connection carries input signals, amplifier output monitoring signals, remote amplifier power on/standby control, amplifier temperature, and more, all on one cable. Each DataPort is clearly marked indicating which channel’ s amplifier it should be connected to.
24 Audio signals are input to the DCM via the FROM PROCESSOR OUTPUT connection. This DB25-type connection conforms to cinema industry standard pinout. Most common cinema processors use this DB25 connec- tion standard, making connection to the DCM simple.
25 The Hearing Impaired output signal is available on the screw terminal connector on the rear of the DCM. The output signal is similar to levels that are output from a standard CD player .
26 Surround insert connections are provided for connection to a Dolby Surround Processor . The surround insert connections are made using the TO SURROUND EX DECODER connection. Connect a cable between this connector and an external processor such as the Dolby SA-10.
27 Connect a PC computer to the RS-232 connector , turn on the DCM unit, load the DCM Manager software and either load a full configuration file (if this theater uses the exact same settings as another theater), or select and enter all of the new data.
28 INST ALLA TION- System Calibration 3. Monitoring - audio mix adjustments The DCM Manager software allows balancing of the high/low or high/mid/low signals being fed to the front panel monitor speaker . Input pink noise into all of the DCM input channels and select individual channels using the DCM front panel buttons.
29 TROUBLESHOOTING If the DCM Manager program is unable to communicate with the DCM hardware... • V erify the RS-232 cable connections. Re-seat each cable-end and finger-tighten connector retaining screws. • Make sure the 9-pin serial data cable (RS-232 cable) is a normal type cable.
30 TROUBLESHOOTING If no sound in the theater ... If one audio channel is missing ... - If PROC inputs are active, then monitor the AMPS outputs (next step). - If PROC inputs are not active, check the cable between the DCM and the Cinema Processor or the Cinema Processor itself.
31 • V erify that the DCM Input Clip LED is not lit. If it is, the cinema processor output signal needs to be turned down. TROUBLESHOOTING If theater audio is distorted ... If switching the BYP ASS to EMERGENCY does not restore sound to the center channel.
