CPi2000 Cinema Processor
User Guide
INTRODUCTION
CPi2000 is a cinema processor developed by JBL to provide audio enhancement and volume control for digital
cinemas. It features D/A convertor, room EQ tuning, volume control and system fault detection and can be configured
through a tailor-designed GUI software.
CPi2000 offers four input options – Analog Input, Digital Input, Non-Sync Input and mono Mic Input. The Analog
Input and Digital Input accept audio signal from a cinema server. Non-Sync Input receives line level stereo signal
from a CD or DVD player for background music playback. Mic Input normally connects to a RTA microphone for room
tuning.
CPi2000 installs ten (10) HD-15 Analog Output connectors for passive, bi-amp or tri-amp connection and a 25-pin
Analog Output connector for connection with a third party audio system. Its Redundant Output (should work together
with Analog Input) connector will bypass the CPi2000 system and directly output audio signals while an operation
failure appears.
The large LCD display constantly monitors the status of each channel and provides quick setup of its global output
volume. Its specially-designed GUI software helps users set up a cinema audio system in an easy and effortless way.
CPi2000 provides a 1/3 octave GEQ for room tuning via the GUI software and is built-in with a list of variable
crossover presets to accept a wide range of cinema speakers.
Designed to use with CROWN cinema amplifiers and JBL cinema speakers, CPi2000 is able to detect faults of
amplifiers or speakers and send the fault information to a TMS or a 3rd party control system via its RJ45 connector.
