Getting StartedJBL SYNTHESIS SDP-45- 8 -ABOUT THE SDP-45Thank you for purchasing the SDP-45 Analog / Digital Controller, areference-quality, 8-channel audio and video control center withindependent zone monitoring to provide control of input sourceselection in two zones at the same time. The analog input allowsfor a true analog bypass mode to create a very high quality analogstereo preamp for critical listening.The SDP-45 features an HDMI interface that enables the transmissionof uncompressed digital audio and video signals through a singleconnector. The SDP-45 can pass digital video signals of up to 1080p,12 bit and 3D, and multiple digital audio channels (7.1 channels) atsample rates of up to 192 kHz through the HDMI interface. The SDP-45 also supports the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection(HDCP) technology that comprises data encryption and authenticationof the partner equipment.Beyond the HDMI connectors and standard 7.1-channel audio outputconnectors, the rear panel includes stereo rear and stereo subwooferconnectors to provide even more audio channels. All Main Zone audiooutput connectors include 24-bit/192kHz D/A converters operating indual differential mode. In addition, the SDP-45 includes balanced andunbalanced audio output connectors for all Main Zone channels.Two connectors are provided for external control. One RS232 9-pinserial and one Ethernet 10BaseT which also acts as a web pageserver, User Interface and firmware update tool.The SDP-45 is also equipped with Dolby® Digital Surround EX™,Dolby Pro Logic®, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS96/24™, DTS NEO:6®, DTS-ES®, Dolby True HD, Digital Plus, DigitalEX, Pro Logic IIx, DTS-HD master audio, and Dolby volumeWith two 32-bit floating-point TI DA710 digital signal processing (DSP)engines, the SDP-45 offers unparalleled processing power. Thisprocessing is available at digital input sample rates up to 192 kHz, with 24-bit resolution to retain top performance from all input sources and listeningmodes.High-precision 192kHz/24-bit A/D converters can be used to convert stereoanalog audio input signals to digital signals, allowing the SDP-45 toprovide the benefits of precise digital signal processing without sacrificingsignal integrity. Additionally, all output D/A convertors can operate at up to192 kHz/24-bit and are completely asynchronous from input convertorsand all digital inputs, allowing the outputs to be completely buffered andinternally clocked to a very stable crystal oscillator. This is especiallyimportant in removing jitter from the unstable sources, especially HDMI.This allows the SDP-45 to give the best possible signal output andmaintain the highest possible resolution even on less than ideal sources.To complement its audio performance, the SDP-45 features a broadcast-quality HDMI video switcher that does not process or manipulate the signalin any way. This allows full resolution HDMI video to pass through the unitwithout any additional processing. This also allows for very high data andvideo resolution throughput including 3D.
