IQ–P.I.P.-MEM Programmable Input Processor for IQ Systems

1 Welcome
The I Q–P.I.P.-MEM brings powerful
monitor and control capabilities to
your Crown PIP™ (programmable in-
put processor) and PIP2-compatible
amplifiers.
An IQ2-series component, the IQ–
P.I.P.-MEM support Crown’s UCODE
protocol and requires an IQ System
®
with an IQ2-compatible IQ Interface
(such as IQ-INT V2.00). UCODE
(universal code) enables users and
third parties to develop custom soft-
ware objects to control and monitor
IQ2-compatible components like the
IQ–P.I.P.-MEM.
The IQ–P.I.P.-MEM connects the am-
plifier to the Crown Bus of an IQ Sys-
tem so the amplifier can be con-
trolled and monitored. It is powered
by the amplifier and includes a
microprocesser with a memory
backup feature that enables the am-
plifier to resume operation with all of
its IQ settings in tact after a power
outage.
