Alternate Digital Inputs SDA4600 (BLU-Link Input)
The SDA4600 and SDA8300 can use the iOS app “Powered By Crown”
available for iPad or iPhone to select alternate digital inputs or to cross
patch digital inputs. This is available from the Apple App Store. Use the
below chart to determine which configuration you need and which input
you should select for the proper output. The SDA8300 has eight (8) digital
inputs and eight (8) outputs so there are no additional inputs available but
you can use the iOS app to switch or cross patch if needed, as an alternative
to re-wiring the outputs if done incorrect. The SDA4600 has eight (8) digital
inputs but only uses 2 or 4 outputs depending on configuration. The extra
inputs are always available. The digital inputs are listed as “BLU Input”.
Any combination of SDA amplifiers and SDEC digital processors can be used,
and multiple SDA amplifiers can be configured to the same outputs
(mirroring). There is only a limitation of the number of Blu-Link devices (60)
and total number of discrete channels (128) that must be maintained.
Always set the generic configuration using the included trigger input
first as outlined earlier in this manual.
Once the amplifier is properly configured using the Configuration
Trigger Plugs, remove the plugs completely before changing inputs.
Check the amplifier for proper operation at low volume first, and
also check to make sure that the configuration is maintained during
a power outage.

Only place one amplifier on the network at a time, as all amplifiers
appear with the same name.
The inputs available depend on the current configuration. These
changes are not maintained in any saved file and are only local to
the amplifier.
If you make a change to the amplifier using this method you should
write this down for future reference if the amplifier ever needs to
be reset or replaced.
Select the amplifier from the
list to begin.
Select the alternate input from
the list. The change occurs in
real time.
Click on the input
that needs to
change.
