PIP USP3/CN
SmartAmp Automation for TCP/IQ
T he Crown PIP-USP3/CN is a 3rd generation DSP-based PIP™
(Programmable Input Processor) input module for PIP2 compatible
amplifiers.* It connects the amplifier to a 100 Mb Ethernet network allow-
ing it to be remotely controlled and monitored. In addition, the USP3/CN
allows the transport of real-time digital audio via CobraNet™ over the same
Ethernet network.
The USP3/CN connects to the audio control/monitor network using standard
100 Mb Ethernet hardware (switches, Network Interface Cards, and cables).
CobraNet™ audio is available over the same 100 Mb Ethernet network, pro-
viding a simple to install, single plug solution for audio distribution, control,
and monitoring.
The USP3/CN’s SHARC DSP processor gives the user an enormous amount
of digital signal processing. Audio routing, faders, meters, polarity & mute,
input compressors, filters, delays, multimode output limiters, error report-
ing, and load monitoring are all available. A built-in noise generator and sine-
wave generator provide noise masking and test capabilities. The enhanced
AUX port capability allows the user to interface with the amplifier to provide
external manual control and monitoring.
100 Mb Ethernet single-plug
solution for both CobraNet™
audio and networked control and
monitoring.
Analog audio inputs allow audio
input to the CobraNet™ network,
CobraNet™ audio redundancy, or
a hardwire emergency override of
CobraNet™ audio.

64 assignable fi lters with 9 differ-
ent fi lter types including all-pass
fi lters.
