7OverviewOverviewFeaturesThe SRP-X500P is a versatile powered mixer whichincorporates an audio mixer, RGB/video switcher,processor, and power amplifier into a 3U-rack-size unit.9 preset AV system type settingsBy setting the SYSTEM TYPE selector, the SRP-X500Psupports various AV system comfigurations.Projector controlThe PROJECTOR CONTROL RS-232C connector or theCONTROL S IN/OUT connectors can be used to changethe power status of a Sony projector or plasma display toon or to standby, and to select the input signal.Built-in digital mixerThe digital mixer features A/D and D/A converters with a24-bit/48-kHz sampling rate and a high-performance DSP.In addition to regular audio mixer features, the SRP-X500P offers such digitally enabled functions as afeedback reducer comprising an independent channel andautomatic gain control (AGC).Various audio input/output connectorsFour microphone inputs and two stereo line inputs can befreely assigned to four output systems.Compatibility with composite/RGB/component signalsThe SRP-X500P is equipped with three composite inputsand two RGB/component inputs. These inputs eliminatethe need for a separate RGB switcher or video switcher,resulting in a simplified system configuration. The SRP-X500P supports high-resolution component signals suchas 480p and 1080i, and also SXGA (1280 × 1024 pixels)for RGB.Built-in digital amplifiers90 W + 90 W + 50 W + 50 W (8Ω or 4Ω) power amplifiersare incorporated. The SRP-X500P also supports 60 Whigh-impedance speakers (70 V LINE, 82Ω).Remote connectors for external devices• RS-232C connectorsThe REMOTE RS-232C connector allows the use of anexternal personal computer or system controller tocontrol the SRP-X500P.• REMOTE PARALLEL connectorInput signal selection, volume control and scene controlof the SRP-X500P can be performed via the input pins.Through the output pins, remote control of theenvironmental equipment such as a screen and lightingequipment, and the status display of the SRP-X500P canbe carried out.Installation of up to two tuner unitsTo enable the use of wireless microphones, the tuner slotsof the SRP-X500P allow the installation of up to twoWRU-806 units (not supplied) or the URX-M2 TunerUnits that come with the UWP-X7/X8 (not supplied).Rack mountingThe SRP-X500P can be mounted into an EIA-standard 19-inch rack (with a 3U-height).Setting up the SRP-X500P using thesupplied programThe CD-ROM that comes with the SRP-X500P containsthe SRP-X500P Manager program for setting theparameters including AGC (automatic gain control),routing, and equalizer to allow you fine parameter settings.The SRP-X500P manualsThe two following manuals are supplied with the SRP-X500P:• Operating Instructions (the present volume) and a PDF-version of the same contents (provided on the suppliedCD-ROM)• User’s Guide (provided on the supplied CD-ROM)The Operating Instructions mainly describe SRP-X500Poperations.
