DataPorts
QSC DataPorts on the DPM rear panel are intended to interface to QSC amplifiers with v1 DataPorts. These are the all-capable DataPorts, which are
included on DCA and PL3 series amplifiers. All DataPorts use the HD15 connector format and connect to QSC amplifiers via data communications
cables having male HD15 connectors on both ends. These are commonly referred to as VGA cables. Note: though many off-the-shelf VGA cables may
work with satisfactory results, the QSC DataPort specification requires that all conductors be present and that all audio I/O conductors be shielded.
Therefore, only QSC supplied DataPort cables should be used. A variety of lengths are available through QSC’s Technical Services Group. To connect
a DataPort cable between a DPM DataPort and an amplifier DataPort, attach the cable’s male connectors to the HD15 ports and finger tighten the
thumb screws on the connectors.
Ancillary Interfaces
A single Mic/Line Input is accessible on the DPM rear panel. This input can be used for mono non-sync sources or for connecting a microphone for
local paging or announcements into the auditorium or to support various corporate or live events requiring a microphone. Alternately a microphone
can be permanently connected to provide SPL metering of the theater. Phantom power may be enabled via DPM Manager configuration or via the
DPM front panel interface. The Mic/Line Input uses a standard 3-conductor XLR receptacle.
L/R analog line input connectors and a multi-channel digital SPDIF input are accessible on the DPM rear panel. These connectors accommodate non-
sync sources appropriate for alternative content, advertising, corporate or live event feeds.
HDMI In/Out connectors are provided to allow audio inputs from alternate content sources with HDMI outputs such as laptops or satellite receivers.
The HDMI input signal is passed through to HDMI output for connection to downstream video devices.
NOTE: All ancillary interfaces use standard cables that are readily available through retailers specializing in computer equipment,
musical equipment, pro audio or home electronics.
