MC-8 Getting Started
1-3
Digital audio input signals are processed through a two-stage phase
lock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter and high rejection.
Lexicon’s proprietary auto azimuth technology corrects timing and
level imbalances in stereo sources, ensuring exceptionally accurate
playback of surround-encoded sources. A digital audio pass
through output is available for recording digital signals with a CD
recorder or a similar component.
Complementing its audio performance, the MC-8 features two
broadcast-quality video switchers. An ultrawide-bandwidth
component video switcher accepts analog component or RGB
video signals, while a composite and S-Video switcher accepts high-
quality NTSC, PAL or SECAM video signals. The component video
switcher can pass high-definition TV (HDTV) signals, and standard-
definition (SD) TV signals. Both switchers are designed to pass video
signals without alteration or degradation.
Built to professional standards, the MC-8 is designed to serve as the
control center in any high-quality home theater. Even the most
demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unique combi-
nation of power, performance, flexibility and technological
sophistication. With extensive expansion capabilities, the MC-8
represents a solid investment that will retain its value in the face of
rapidly emerging technologies.
