QSC Cinema DCP 300

QSC’s DCP is a powerful solution for today’s D-Cinema audio systems. From server to speakers, the DCP offers a complete set of tools to facilitate all the signal processing, audio distribution, monitoring and automation control services required in a modern D-Cinema sound system.

The DCP builds on the legacy of QSC’s DCM and BASIS™ products to provide all signal processing and monitoring functions for Digital Cinema in a single integrated system. Designed to be used with QSC’s Digital Cinema Amplifiers (DCA) and featuring advanced DSP presets for QSC’s Digital Cinema Speakers (DCS), the DCP optimizes loudspeaker performance while simplifying cinema sound system wiring and configuration. The DCP covers cinema systems ranging from three to five screen channels, and is configurable for bi-amp, tri-amp or quad-amp operation. Though optimized to receive audio content directly from a D-Cinema server, the DCP is also compatible with all analog cinema processor formats including Dolby® Digital Surround-EX and DTS-ES and features a 10 channel analog input for integration with 35 mm audio systems.

The DCP is more than an audio processor. Whether designing a system for a single auditorium or designing a large multiplex, the DCP offers the flexibility in configuration, networking, audio distribution and advanced management services to get the job done.
