[. . . ] Central processing ­ The N8000 and IRIS-Net gives you both! Now you don't have to make the choice as to where your processing power resides. IRIS-Net enables you to process all or part of the audio signal in a central component like the NetMax N8000 or to conduct the processing and supervision remotely at the amplifier. This gives the system designer incredible flexibility in designing the system. You can now design the system for the ultimate in reliability or design for efficiency and value. [. . . ] For example, several functions combined into a single scene preset and can be changed manually or automatically at any time. 6 7 Concert Hall Theaters and performance venues present unique signal processing challenges. The many types of loudspeakers and locations can require a very high number of DSP channels for signal processing. NetMax allows the flexibility to address the DSP needs for each loudspeaker type and position. IRISNet can be configured with multiple GUI layers that can be password protected to only allow access to specific areas of the DSP chain. This allows guest engineers to adjust the PA system to suit their needs without having access to critical DSP processing like crossovers or limiters. XL C 12 7 + X LC 1 27+ ` House of Worship In this example, audio signal from the main Front of House mixer is routed and processed separately by the NetMax N8000 for main loudspeakers, stage monitors, under balconies and distributed lobby speakers as well as assistive listening devices. The N8000 allows for storage and recall of different routing, level and EQ settings for a variety of events via the control PC.

NetMax allows a variety of signals to be routed to any combination of zones within the casino via CobraNet, each with individual DSP. Using managed switches allows the CobraNet and Ethernet to be configured in a ring topology for additional redundancy. A contact closure from the fire alarm panel allows muting of all sound system loudspeakers in the event of an emergency. Using NetMax in conjunction with the Precision Series Remote Control amplifiers allows real-time monitoring of all system components, including electronics, cable and loudspeakers remotely from a single control PC. In the theater, another PC is connected via a UCC-1 to allow control, monitoring and supervision of the theater's PA system in parallel with the main control PC.

NetMax allows large scale distribution and monitoring of audio signals via CobraNet to any or all zones, as well as the ability to unite or separate audio paths for room combining scenarios at the touch of a button. Use of the Precision Series Remote Control Amplifiers allow monitoring and control of all audio components in the venue from a single remote location.

NetMax is able to integrate with Dynacord ProAnnounceTM systems to provide all messaging and paging needs for the PA system. Redundancy is achieved using managed switches with ring capabilities to distribute both primary and secondary CobraNet audio and control data. This results in multiple layers of redundancy in the event of a failure. Switch w.
