4. System Version
The JSD-60 is continuously being improved. New features are added through software/firmware updates and
replacement of plug-in modules. This manual describes the JSD-60 versions available at this writing.
Firmware/software versions for the systems described in this manual are listed in the table below:

Page 9
5. System Overview
5.1System Description
The JSD-60 cinema sound processor is specially designed for digital cinema applications. Low noise and low
distortion 96 kHz processing ensures superb presentations. In addition to the six standard formats. A user-
configurable format button can be configured to support a variety of existing and future formats. It may also be
used to duplicate an existing format but at a different fader level to simplify desired volume changes between
content types. The front panel display shows the current fader level, the format name (which is user configurable),
and the audio level on each audio output. The built-in bypass audio circuitry ensures that the presentation goes
on in the unlikely event of a system failure.
The JSD-60 is “automation friendly.” It features the standard DB25 parallel automation interface, an RS-232
(EIA232) interface, and Ethernet. The Ethernet interface accepts 5 simultaneous TCP connections to allow control
by a digital cinema server and other equipment while simultaneously being monitored over another TCP
connection.
The Graphical User Interface runs on Windows XP®, Windows 7®, and Windows 8® operating systems. It allows for
complete system configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates over USB, Ethernet, or RS-232. The JSD-60
graphical user interface simplifies installation by including sound pressure level measurement and automatic
equalization. System monitoring, control, and firmware update functions are also available on a standard web
browser.
The JSD-60 includes a precision 1/3 octave RTA that uses the filters specified in ANSI S1.11-1986. The JSD-60 also
does sound pressure measurements using the C-weighted filter specified in ANSI S1.4-1983. The RTA and SPL
meter can be used to equalize an auditorium manually or automatically.
The JSD-60 includes an automatic equalization feature (auto-EQ). Auto-EQ uses user-defined microphone
calibration files and standard or user-defined equalization curves to automatically adjust the graphic equalizer on
each channel.
The JSD-60 is also “diagnostic friendly.” The system logs the last 15,000 events (format changes, level changes,
internal temperature, loss of AES/EBU audio, etc.) to internal flash memory. Log data can be reviewed on the GUI
or the web interface. Current operational status, including selected format, fader level, and measured audio
output levels, is available on the GUI and on the web interface. The current status of the system is also available
over SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
An optional plug-in module decodes Dolby Digital® and DTS® encoded content.
The HI and VI-N outputs are configurable on a per-format basis.
An optional crossover card supports biamp of three screen channels and provides two LFE outputs.

A user configurable mixer routes audio as required for the specific auditorium. Supported auditorium
configurations include 5.1, 7.1DS, 7.1SDDS, and drive-in.
5.2 Block Diagrams
The following simplified block diagrams assist the user in understanding the signal flow within the JSD-60. All input
sources are routed to the Input Mixer that routes a source to an output. An internal noise and tone generator is
available for testing and acoustic calibration of the sound system. The output stream contains the main fader, sync
and surrounds delays, equalizer, channel filter, and crossover with individual band delays and gain settings. The
hearing impaired (HI) and visually impaired - narrative (VI-N) outputs do not include an equalizer, channel filter or
crossover and are not affected by the main fader.
Figure 5.2a Audio Processing Overview
The output of the mixer or internal generator is routed to the main fader control. The output is then routed to a
delay for both projector synchronization and surrounds. The crossover includes individual delays for high and low
bands. Each channel, with the exception of LFE, HI, and VI-N, has a 27 band graphic equalizer including bass and
treble shelving filters. After equalization a channel filter process can be applied. The channel filter can be used to
apply special effects to a specific channel. For example, it may be desirable to notch out dialog frequencies on a
generated Lc or Rc channel. The channel filter supports high pass, low pass, band pass, notch, and disabled. The
LFE channel is routed through a parametric equalizer and a 125Hz low pass filter as specified by SMPTE EG0432-2-
2006. When the internal crossover is not used, full-range audio is sent to the low-band outputs. The outputs are
driven with balanced line drivers through solid state switches used for muting. Similar switches route bypass audio
to the left and right outputs when required.
As shown in Figure 5.2b, each input is digitally converted (analog to digital or sample rate conversion) and routed
to the mixer within the DSP. The two channel sources are converted and then routed to a Sample Rate Converter
(SRC) that can be either mixed or have an active matrix applied to them to generate six digital audio sources (5.1

Page 11
channels). The COAX and TOSLINK sources can have the either a two channel mix or six channel decode. The
optional DI-84 board is required to decode Dolby Digital ®, DTS®, or apply an active matrix, each converting the
two channel signals to 5.1 channels.
Figure 5.2b Audio Sources Overview
Each output, including HI and VI-N, has a mixer with eight digital and six analog inputs. The input source and
decode options determine the active sources for the mixer.
Simplified Crossover Block Diagram
The following Figure 5.2c shows the details of the crossovers. The audio is split into high band and low band
components with high pass filter #4 and low pass filter #0. These are both 4th order Linkwitz-Riley filters. They are
followed by a series of parametric filters. The high band includes a pair of shelving filters (#7 and #8) to
compensate for the high frequency characteristics of the high frequency horn and the screen. Each band ends up
with a delay block. Individual band delays can be set as required. This block also includes a provision to flip the
phase in case a speaker is wired incorrectly.

Page 12
In most installations, the user merely loads crossover settings from the supplied speaker library, and then adjusts
the output trims as required to compensate for amplifier gain differences and speaker efficiency differences.

Figure 5.2c Crossover Overview
In the lower portion of Figure 5.2c, the LFE band is shown. It is not really a crossover since it does not split the
channel into multiple frequency bands. It is similar to a crossover, however, in that a single audio channel is split
into multiple outputs with separate equalization (parametric) and delay. Because of this similarity, the LFE
equalizer is located in the crossover section of the DSP. The additional LFE2 output is only available from the
crossover board’s output connector.
5.3 Model Numbers
An optional output board is part of the unit’s assembly that supports a variety of output configurations. Available
output configurations include 8 analog outputs full range and biamp (3 stage crossover channels).
The various JSD-60 options are identified by model number suffixes as shown in the tables below. The first letter
identifies input options such as the presence or absence of Dolby Digital ® and DTS® ® decoding. The second letter
indicates the type of output. Note that all units have analog HI/VI-N in addition to the outputs listed in the tables

Turn the AC power switch to the off position.
Using the supplied AC line cord or one appropriate for the installation location (the power supply is a universal
input supply 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz), connect the JSD-60 to the AC line.

Page 15
Connect the supplied 12 VDC bypass power supply to the bypass power input on the rear panel of the JSD-60
and plug it in to the AC line. The front panel “Bypass Mode” LED should flash, the bypass power LED should
light, and one of the format buttons should light.
Press each of the format buttons and the mute button, one after another. The appropriate button should
light.
Rotate the fader in each direction and verify that the fader level on the display changes.
Turn on the AC power switch. All the green power LEDs on the bottom right of the front panel should light.
The “Bypass Mode” LED should stop flashing.
Press each of the format buttons and the mute button, one after another. The appropriate button should light
and the display should show the selected format. Note that the format button LEDs for digital formats will
flash when no digital input is provided.
Press the mute button verifying that its LED toggles each time the button is pressed.
Rotate the fader in each direction verifying that the fader numbers on the display change
7.2 System Hardware Mounting, Grounding and Ventilation
The JSD-60 is designed to mount in a standard 19 inch (482.6mm) rack and is one rack unit high (1.75 inches,
44.45mm). The JSD-60 should be mounted at “eye level” in the equipment rack for optimum display contrast and
visibility. We recommend vented panels (USL part number VP-1) above and below the JSD-60 whenever space
permits. Mounting the unit immediately above a major heat-producing component, such as a power amplifier, is
not recommended. Equipment mounted immediately above the JSD-60 should not be more than 9 inches
(225mm) deep to ensure adequate airflow through the top cover ventilation holes on the JSD-60. The JSD-60
includes a three-prong grounding plug and a three-wire power cord to accommodate a safe ground path from the
chassis to the electrical system ground. Defeating this ground by removing the ground prong is not recommended.

7.5 Audio Input Connections
Eight Channel AES/EBU Input
The JSD-60 accepts 8 channel AES/EBU audio. This input is typically driven by the digital cinema server (DCS). The
JSD-60 includes a DB25F connector using the Dolby® DMA8 pin out and an RJ-45 connectors using the StudioHub[2]
pin out. The first six channels are assigned speakers by industry convention. The remaining channels can be
configured by the user (i.e., sources for HI/VI-N, Lrs, Rrs, etc.). For convenience, all connector pin outs are listed in
Appendix A.
Six Channel Analog Input
The JSD-60 six channel analog input is on a DB25F connector. The analog inputs are active balanced (differential)
inputs. They may be driven by balanced or unbalanced sources. When driven by an unbalanced source, the
negative input should be connected to the low side of the source at the source equipment to minimize ground
[2] Please see the Studio Hub website: www.StudioHub.com

Page 17
loop noise. The cable should be twisted pair with individual shields, even when driven by an unbalanced source.
The DB25F connector uses the THX® pin out as specified in the table in Appendix A.
Two Channel Analog Input
The JSD-60 has a stereo analog input (Non/Sync) on two RCA connectors. Connect these to an appropriate source
using RCA cables. Various stereo decode methods are available in the system. These allow direct driving of the left
and right speakers, adding a synthesized center channel, surround, and custom mix for all output channels.
Two Channel Digital Inputs
The JSD-60 has an S/PDIF input and a TOSLINK input.
S/PDIF Input. A stereo digital input on an RCA connector marked COAX. It is a standard S/PDIF (Sony Philips
Digital Interface) input. Connect to appropriate sources with 75 ohm coaxial cable with RCA connectors on
each end. As with the other stereo inputs, various decode methods are available.
TOSLINK Input. A TOSLINK optical digital stereo input is included on the JSD-60. Connect this input to an
appropriate source with a standard TOSLINK cable. As with other stereo inputs, various decode methods are
available.
Single Channel Audio Inputs
The JSD-60 has a Public Address (PA) and Real Time Analyzer (RTA) microphone input.
PA/RTA Microphone Input. Plug a PA microphone in to the combination XLR / ¼” stero (TRS) phone jack. The
microphone input may be configured to drive the main or the surround speakers. In addition, the PA
microphone input can drive the RTA for room equalization. The jack is a combination XLR and ¼” TRS (stereo)
connector. The XLR input is balanced. The 1/4 inch connector can be used either balanced or unbalanced.
Phantom power can drive both sides of a balanced line with +12V through 1k on each line. It can also drive an
unbalanced input (typically on the 1/4 inch connector) with +9V through 1.8k. When using unbalanced
phantom power, the signal is on the tip and the phantom power voltage is on the ring. The phantom power is
designed to provide low current bias to electret microphones. Condensor microphone preamps may draw
more current than the phantom power can supply.
7.6 Analog Audio Output Connections
The JSD-60 provides eight main channel outputs plus HI and VI-N outputs. All outputs are balanced and may drive
balanced or unbalanced loads. When driving unbalanced loads, run two conductor shielded cable and connect the
“–” terminal of the JSD-60 output to the low side of the unbalanced load at the load instead of at the JSD-60 to
minimize ground loop noise.
Main Audio Outputs
The eight channel analog output connector provides eight balanced analog outputs. These are full-range outputs if
no crossover board is installed. If a crossover board is installed, this connector provides the low band outputs of
the screen channels, the full range surround channels, and the LFE1 output. The crossover output connector
provides three crossover high band outputs plus the LFE2 output. On systems with the crossover, four DIP switches
set the crossover frequency for the bypass passive crossover. If the crossover is not to be used, set all the switches
to off. Adjust the low trim pot to yield the desired bypass output level. Remember that the front panel fader also
affects the output level when in bypass. For more information on bypass operation with crossovers, see Section
7.7.1. The connector pin outs are listed in Appendix A
HI/VI-N Outputs
The JSD-60 has balanced HI and VI-N outputs that can drive balanced or unbalanced loads. As with other outputs,
the use of twisted pair shielded cable is suggested whether the load is balanced or unbalanced. When driving an
unbalanced load, connect the “ –” output of the JSD-60 to low side of the unbalanced input at the destination end
of the cable to minimize ground loop noise. The source of audio to drive the HI and VI-N outputs is configurable on

Page 18
a per-format basis. The VI-N audio output is typically driven by AES/EBU input 8. The HI audio output can be
driven from AES/EBU input 7 or from an audio mix via the channel mixer located in the “Advanced” tab in the
Windows GUI.
7.7 Automation Interface
The JSD-60 includes the traditional parallel automation interface plus RS-232 and Ethernet. This interface will
accept the JSD-100 automation commands to simplify the installation and setup.
Parallel Interface
Pins 1 through 10 of the DB25F automation connector are “control” pins that accept contact closure or open
collector pulses to ground to select formats and to control the main fader. To change the selected format, the
corresponding pin, 1 through 7 is pulsed. Pulsing pin 8 low toggles the mute state. Pins 1 through 10 are internally
pulled up to +8.4V. They each source 400uA when grounded. An automation input control pin needs to be pulled
below 2.6V for 50ms or more for the JSD-60 to recognize it as low. A +5V at 100mA is available on pin 13 to drive
an external remote fader control (JSDV-80). Pin 12 is the “automation return.” Use this as the low side of switches
and indicators instead of using chassis ground. It is ground through a 10 ohm resistor to limit ground loop current.
RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 interface appears on a DE9F connector on the rear panel. The connector is wired as a DCE device. A
command interpreter accepts ASCII commands (described in Appendix B) over the RS-232 and Ethernet interfaces.
The RS-232 port operates at 38.4kbps, 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit), no handshake. RTS/CTS and DTR/DSR
are looped back.
Ethernet Interface
The JSD-60 includes a standard 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface. The same automation commands (described in
Appendix B) are available on TCP connections to port 10001 on the Ethernet interface. The JSD-60 accepts up to 5
simultaneous TCP connections, allowing multiple control and monitor devices to be used. The Ethernet interface
also includes a web server. System status and basic control are available on internally generated web pages.
System status is also available over SNMP. The JSD-60 also includes a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client that can
be used to keep the internal real time clock accurate. Use a CAT5 or better Ethernet cable to connect the JSD-60 to
the control network.
8. Graphical User Interface Configuration
System Configuration using the Graphical User Interface
The graphical user interface (GUI) allows for configuration and
monitoring of the JSD-60. When installed, the JSD-60 GUI programs
item and a desktop shortcut are created. The application is located
in the c:\Programs (x86)\USL\JSD-60 Cinema Processor folder. The
JSD-60 SetIP utility, User Manual, and DPInst64 USB driver are
located in this folder.
8.1 GUI File Organization
The GUI installer places the executable program files in the Programs
(x86) \USL\JSD-60 directory. Configuration files are placed in
Documents\USL\JSD-60 as shown.
The EQ Curves directory holds data for generating limit curves
for the RTA and automatic equalization. Standard curve data
for several auditorium sizes are provided. Since these are plain
text files, custom limit curves can be easily created.

Page 19
The Microphone Library holds calibration data on microphones used on the RTA. A separate file can be
created for each microphone used with the system. The file includes the required preamp gain and
frequency response adjustment.
The Speaker Library holds crossover configuration files for a wide range of biamp speaker systems. These
are also text files, so appropriate crossover settings for additional speaker systems can be created using a
text editor such as Note Pad.
See Appendix E for configuration file formats.
8.2 GUI Installation
The GUI runs under Windows® XP, Windows® 7, or Windows® 8 operating systems. Insert the supplied CD and
follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: The USB driver needs to be installed after the GUI is installed. Follow the USB Driver Installation
instructions.
Note: Windows XP installs a driver for a particular USB port and when connected to a different port, the user must
repeat the installation process. We suggest executing the install process on all USB ports.
USB Driver Installation
The JSD-60 uses a native Windows USB System (winusb.sys) driver that is part of the operating system’s installation
package. The driver is installed by using a co-installer that specifies that it will be working with the JSD-60.
