Overview
Overview
Features
The SRP-X500P is a versatile powered mixer which
incorporates an audio mixer, RGB/video switcher,
processor, and power amplifier into a 3U-rack-size unit.
9 preset AV system type settings
By setting the SYSTEM TYPE selector, the SRP-X500P
supports various AV system comfigurations.
Projector control
The PROJECTOR CONTROL RS-232C connector or the
CONTROL S IN/OUT connectors can be used to change
the power status of a Sony projector or plasma display to
on or to standby, and to select the input signal.
Built-in digital mixer
The digital mixer features A/D and D/A converters with a
24-bit/48-kHz sampling rate and a high-performance DSP.
In addition to regular audio mixer features, the SRP-
X500P offers such digitally enabled functions as a
feedback reducer comprising an independent channel and
automatic gain control (AGC).
Various audio input/output connectors
Four microphone inputs and two stereo line inputs can be
freely assigned to four output systems.
Compatibility with composite/RGB/
component signals
The SRP-X500P is equipped with three composite inputs
and two RGB/component inputs. These inputs eliminate
the need for a separate RGB switcher or video switcher,
resulting in a simplified system configuration. The SRP-
X500P supports high-resolution component signals such
as 480p and 1080i, and also SXGA (1280 × 1024 pixels)
for RGB.
Built-in digital amplifiers
90 W + 90 W + 50 W + 50 W (8
Ω or 4Ω) power amplifiers
are incorporated. The SRP-X500P also supports 60 W
high-impedance speakers (70 V LINE, 82
Ω).
Remote connectors for external devices
• RS-232C connectors
The REMOTE RS-232C connector allows the use of an
external personal computer or system controller to
control the SRP-X500P.
• REMOTE PARALLEL connector
Input signal selection, volume control and scene control
of the SRP-X500P can be performed via the input pins.
Through the output pins, remote control of the
environmental equipment such as a screen and lighting
equipment, and the status display of the SRP-X500P can
be carried out.
Installation of up to two tuner units
To enable the use of wireless microphones, the tuner slots
