7.1 High-Definition Professional
Surround Sound Processor:
HD-XSP
Introduction
Modern boardrooms and auditoriums are more than just places to meet and speak to
an audience — they are high-tech presentation environments where groups gather to
share ideas, inspire thought, and motivate action through the use of dynamic,
interactive multimedia. In an age where the televisions in our homes are commonly
supplemented by some kind of surround sound enhancement, it is only logical that
the same aural experience should be found in any corporate, government, hospitality
or educational presentation space. But, while specifying a large screen display has
become as simple as choosing paint, adding high-quality surround sound still relies
on wedging consumer grade components into an otherwise professional system. The
result is typically complicated, expensive, and ultimately unsatisfactory.

Features and Functions
(Continued)
The HD-XSP from Crestron answers the call for a truly professional surround sound
solution that is simple and affordable to implement. The HD-XSP provides the
features and performance necessary to enable high-definition 7.1 channel audio for
virtually any commercial environment. It fits easily in a crowded equipment rack and
integrates cleanly with other AV and control equipment. It supports the latest 7.1
digital formats including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master
Audio, with advanced HDCP management for trouble-free handling of all digital HD
content. Professional DSP and input/output mixing is even built in to streamline
integration as part of a complete multimedia presentation system.
The HD-XSP is also useful for many residential applications, providing a
cost-effective, compact surround sound processor that is well suited for integration
as part of a total home automation and entertainment system.
Complete Connectivity
The HD-XSP includes full input connectivity for all types of digital and analog
sources including Blu-ray Disc®players, HDTV receivers, game consoles,
computers, media servers and mobile devices. Additional specialized inputs and
outputs are provided to facilitate integration with system switchers, matrix routers,
microphone mixers, and teleconferencing codecs.
•HDMI Input – The HDMI input provides the essential interface for handling
high-definition 7.1 digital surround sound and HDCP protected content. It
can also handle DisplayPort Multimode signals using an appropriate
adapter. Easy HDMI input expansion is possible using a Crestron
HD-MD8X1 switcher*. CEC signals can even be passed through from a
control system to control the source device right through the HDMI
connection.
•S/PDIF Inputs – A combination of one optical and two coaxial S/PDIF
digital audio inputs provides connectivity for digital sources without HDMI.
•Stereo Analog Inputs – Two stereo audio inputs are included to handle
analog signals from line level sources such as laptop computers, media
players, and mobile devices.
* Items sold separately.

Crestron HD-XSP 7.1 High-Definition Professional Surround Processor
Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 7446A 7.1 High-Definition Surround Processor: HD-XSP •3
•Surround Sound Outputs – A total of eight balanced line level outputs are
provided to drive a multichannel power amplifier feeding up to seven
speakers and a subwoofer. The HD-XSP can be configured to work with
systems up to 7.1 channels, including those without a discrete center
speaker or subwoofer. Each output channel includes a discrete 9-band
graphic or parametric EQ plus trim, delay, and crossover adjustments.
Additional controls are provided for main volume, bass, treble, loudness,
compression, and LFE.
•Downmix Output – This balanced output provides a stereo or mono
downmix of the surround sound signal to feed a separate speaker zone,
assistive listening system, codec, or recording device. It includes controls
for volume, bass, treble, loudness, and balance.
•Mix Input – This balanced stereo input is designed to connect to the output
of a microphone mixer or teleconferencing codec. This input bypasses all
internal signal processing and surround sound decoding, mixing with the
main program signal at the Front Left/Right and/or Downmix outputs.
•HDMI Output – An HDMI output is included to pass the HDMI input signal
through to a display device. The HDMI output passes Full HD 1080p60
video and WUXGA computer signals with HDCP, Deep Color, and 3D. It
also passes audio with the option to select either a straight pass-through
from the HDMI input or a stereo downmix of the main surround signal. It
can even pass CEC signals from a control system to control the display
device.
Each HDMI, S/PDIF, and stereo input includes an input compensation adjustment to
match the average level between sources. Each of these inputs also includes up to
80 ms of lip-sync delay.
Easy Integration
By design, the HD-XSP fits seamlessly into just about any AV presentation or
distribution system. It is rack-mountable and occupies just one rack space. It contains
no fans, ensuring silent operation. Via Ethernet, it can communicate with a Crestron
control system, allowing simplified operation using a touch screen, handheld remote,
or mobile device.
Via its HDMI input and output, the HD-XSP provides an ideal solution for adding
surround sound processing to a Crestron DMPS Series DigitalMedia™ Presentation
System or any DM®Switcher (all sold separately). It can even be located remotely
and interfaced using a DM transmitter and/or receiver. Or, via its S/PDIF or analog
inputs, it can be added to a Sonnex™ Multiroom Audio System to provide surround
sound processing for a single room zone.
Via its Mix input and Downmix output, the HD-XSP solves a lot of problems that
other processors do not address. The Mix input allows the signal from a microphone
mixer to be passed through unprocessed and mixed with the program signal at the
output. This allows live speech and surround sound signals to coexist and function
simultaneously through the same speaker system. The Downmix output converts the
full audio presentation into a stereo or mono signal, perfect for feeding a remote
listening zone, an assistive listening system, or a recording device.
For teleconferencing and Web streaming applications, the HD-XSP serves as a
cost-effective surround sound downmixer to allow participants at the far end to
experience the full audio presentation. Simultaneously, it mixes the incoming signal
from the far end with the local surround sound audio and sends it to the local room
speakers.
