Overview - SC 32 / SC 64
Based on the principles of the dbx Zone processing products, the SC 32 and SC 64 Digital Matrix Processors are the new flagship products for digital matrix processing. Wizard driven configuration using HiQnet System Architect™ makes unprecedented DSP power, incredible routing flexibility and a rich palette of processing tools accessible with the minimum of training. The SC 32 and SC 64 represent the professional choice of foundation on which to build even the most demanding integrated system.
The SC 32 / SC 64 has a total analog I/O count of 32 (the SC 64 has 64), configurable in banks of eight. Eight analog input cards and eight analog output cards facilitate five different fully loaded configurations (nine for the SC 64). Analog input cards accommodate a wide range of sources with mic/line switching and phantom power per input. Two high-speed options slots provide facility for adding forthcoming high bandwidth audio transport I/O cards. All of these features are housed in a sleek 2U rack chassis.
With dedicated DSP for common processing functions and insert positions for specialized processing, the SC 32 / SC 64 offers many processing functions including Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS™), Ambient Noise Compensation (ANC), priority ducking, parametric equalization (PEQ), delay and dynamics. The SC 32 and SC 64 have a diverse range of control options including HiQnet System Architect™ custom control panels, Ethernet, serial, contact closure, the popular ZC wall controllers and even automatically scheduled events. With so many methods of control, an SC system can truly be tailored to suit the needs and technical expertise of even the most scrutinizing contractor.

Philosophy - SC 32 / SC 64
The memory structure of the SC 32 / SC 64 consists of Attributes and Presets.
Attributes
Device attributes are global functions that affect the entire device such as the sample rate. Most of the SC 32 / SC 64 attributes are found in the Utilities section of the Tools menu (see Utilities) in the Device Window. There are some attributes that are managed directly from the Device Window, like Mutes and Solos (see Device Window below).
Device Presets
A Device Preset is a snapshot of the current state of the SC 32 or SC 64. It includes the parameter values of all of the Processing Modules in the current configuration. Device Presets are managed from the Device Window using the Preset bar (see Device Window). The Device Window shows the Processing Modules prominently as icons, where each icon represents the Processing Module in that signal path location. Double clicking on these icons allows the user access to the underlying parameters of these modules. Saving a Device Preset saves every parameter of all processing functions shown.
Files
Besides the Device Presets and Attributes that are stored on the SC device, System Architect provides additional file types that can be saved to the computer, the Device file and Venue file. The Device file captures the entire unit including all Presets stored and all Attributes of that device. The Venue File is the final extension; the Venue file is a snapshot of the entire Venue with the current Preset and Attributes of every device in the venue. The Venue file is saved from the File menu of the Venue View.
Device Window
All Presets, Processing Functions and their Parameters, as well as device Attributes of the SC 32 / SC 64 are accessed via the Device Window. In addition to these functions, the Device Window File Menu also provides the capability of saving Device files.

Overview:
The dbx SC 32 and SC 64 Analog Input and Analog Output Cards are designed to populate any of the four or eight card slots on the dbx SC 32 and SC 64 devices respectively. These analog cards enable dbx SC devices to receive microphone / line level signals and send line level signals.
The dbx SC 32 and SC 64 Analog Input Cards offer Phantom Power, configurable per channel and software controlled analog gain in 6dB steps from 0dB to 48dB.
The Analog Cards each have two Combicon connectors which are used as follows:
