Author Topic: DTS XD10p for digital conversion? Tom Wienholt Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: Towson, MD, USA Registered: Dec 2002 posted 03-26-2013 02:58 PM                     Can these processors be used for digital conversion without the need for a D/A converter, etc.?  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-26-2013 03:17 PM                     It is actually a USL JSD-80 OEM version. Not a bad choice. I think it lacks the S/P-DIF inputs, but other than that, it has 8 analog inputs, and 8 digital inputs from a digital server. It uses the same setup software as the JSD-80, has a basic built-in RTA. I guess even with the lack of the S/P-DIF ports, I would prefer it over a CP750. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 03-26-2013 03:57 PM                     What Carsten said. But the big issue is that after a week's time you'll ask your installer "how do I connect my DVD player to the projector for 5.1 sound?"  |  IP: Logged Bajsic Bojan Expert Film Handler Posts: 190 From: Ljubljana, Si, Eu Registered: Aug 2008 posted 03-26-2013 06:02 PM                     Sure it is enough, lower price than 750 and can handle 35mm. But as mentioned, no spdif, i dont remember it having lots of matrixing options for digital. Otherwise, if you have it, it can be a decent backup and something to help port you for when you decide what else you will do with the cinema soundwise. And yes, only 8 AES in. I'll be trying it out during the summer.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-26-2013 06:16 PM                     Use a analogue convertor and connect to the analogue 6 track input  |  IP: Logged Alban Birch Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Luxembourg-city , Luxembourg Registered: Jan 2007 posted 03-27-2013 09:36 AM                        You have 3 options: 1. If you have an IMB, you can get the audio from the IMB but for HDMI 2. get a Gefen Cinema-Scaler, they have Audio-decoding 3. get the Decoderstation from germanbased company called Teufel  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-27-2013 10:34 AM                     Sewell also makes a handy outboard DA to 5.1A decoder that is low cost it is called the d block 5.1 audio converter  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-27-2013 09:17 PM                     Or get a DVD/BluRay Player with discrete analog outputs. This will also ensure all BluRay audio format decoding. There are also some HDMI-Audio DeEmbedder/converter available. They will usually not do DTS MasterAudio decoding, but the better players will decode it to 8ch LPCM HDMI out which is the better starting point for these decoders. Anyway, enough options, most of them better than S/P-DIF. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
