speaker configuration. When the speaker configuration includes use of the JSD-60 internal crossovers, the bar
graph shows the low band in yellow, and the high band in blue. Full range outputs (such as the surround channels,
HI, VI-N) are shown in green.

The Main Fader adjusts the output volume. As it is adjusted, the display is updated to show the new fader level.
Note that the fader level will generally change on a format change.

The main power switch turns the JSD-60 on and off. When the power is off, the JSD-60 enters bypass mode if the
bypass power supply is plugged in. The bypass system in the JSD-60 uses completely separate electronics to
generate a monaural signal that drives the left and right main audio outputs. The front panel switches and fader
operate the same in bypass and normal modes. All inputs except microphone are available in bypass mode.

Automation

The JSD-60 accepts external control (such as automation) over Ethernet, RS-232, and a parallel automation port.

The JSD-60 accepts up to 5 simultaneous TCP connections on port 10001. A digital cinema server can send
commands to the JSD-60 through a TCP connection. The command structure is described in Appendix B.

The JSD-60 accepts commands over the RS-232 port. The hardware interface is described in the installation
section. The commands are described in Appendix B.

The JSD-60 accepts parallel automation pulses on the DB25F rear panel automation connector. Pulsing pin 1 to
ground is the same as pushing the first button on the front panel (COAX 1). Pulsing pin 2 to ground is the
same as pushing the second button. The parallel automation interface is described in more detail in Section
7.7.

System Monitoring

A large number of JSD-60 systems can be monitored simultaneously over Ethernet. Multiple units can be
monitored and controlled using the GUI. Multiple units can be monitored and controlled using a web browser as
well. The web interface duplicates the front panel controls, allowing selection of input, setting fader level, and
muting the system. In the GUI overview, each auditorium or screen for a given theater can be grouped for easier
management of different locations (theaters). Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is available for
monitoring multiple units. The SNMP settings are available in the Global tab view.

GUI View of Multiple JSD-60s

The GUI main screen provides an overview of several JSD-60 systems. Systems are normally broken into groups
representing theaters. Each group contains the individual JSD-60 systems for each auditorium. To setup the
management of multiple units, they will need to be configured with Theater Name or location and a Screen
number. Matching Theater Names will be used to group the units for a location. The Screen number is used for
identifying a JSD-60 within a Theater or location (complex).
