ABOUT THE SDP-45
Thank you for purchasing the SDP-45 Analog / Digital Controller, a reference-quality, 8-channel audio and video control center with independent zone monitoring to provide control of input source selection in two zones at the same time. The analog input allows for a true analog bypass mode to create a very high quality analog stereo preamp for critical listening.
The SDP-45 features an HDMI interface that enables the transmission of uncompressed digital audio and video signals through a single connector. The SDP-45 can pass digital video signals of up to 1080p, 12 bit and 3D, and multiple digital audio channels (7.1 channels) at sample rates of up to 192 kHz through the HDMI interface. The SDP45 also supports the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the partner equipment.
Beyond the HDMI connectors and standard 7.1-channel audio output connectors, the rear panel includes stereo rear and stereo subwoofer connectors to provide even more audio channels. All Main Zone audio output connectors include 24-bit/192kHz D/A converters operating in dual differential mode. In addition, the SDP-45 includes balanced and unbalanced audio output connectors for all Main Zone channels.
Two connectors are provided for external control. One RS232 9-pin serial and one Ethernet 10BaseT which also acts as a web page server, User Interface and firmware update tool.
The SDP-45 is also equipped with Dolby® Digital Surround EX™,
Dolby Pro Logic®, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS 96/24™, DTS NEO:6®, DTS-ES®, Dolby True HD, Digital Plus, Digital EX, Pro Logic IIx, DTS-HD master audio, and Dolby volume
With two 32-bit floating-point TI DA710 digital signal processing (DSP) engines, the SDP-45 offers unparalleled processing power. This processing is available at digital input sample rates up to 192 kHz, with 24bit resolution to retain top performance from all input sources and listening modes.
High-precision 192kHz/24-bit A/D converters can be used to convert stereo analog audio input signals to digital signals, allowing the SDP-45 to provide the benefits of precise digital signal processing without sacrificing signal integrity. Additionally, all output D/A convertors can operate at up to 192 kHz/24-bit and are completely asynchronous from input convertors and all digital inputs, allowing the outputs to be completely buffered and internally clocked to a very stable crystal oscillator. This is especially important in removing jitter from the unstable sources, especially HDMI. This allows the SDP-45 to give the best possible signal output and maintain the highest possible resolution even on less than ideal sources.
To complement its audio performance, the SDP-45 features a broadcastquality HDMI video switcher that does not process or manipulate the signal in any way. This allows full resolution HDMI video to pass through the unit without any additional processing. This also allows for very high data and video resolution throughput including 3D.

JBL SYNTHESIS SDP-45
Basic Operation
1 HDMI Inputs
HDMI inputs 1 through 8 are hardwired to Source inputs 1 through 8 as listed on the front panel from left to right. HDMI video is routed directly to the two (2) outputs without any processing or transcoding. Audio may be extracted from the HDMI inputs if desired by pressing the HDMI button on the front panel for the source that is currently selected. These HDMI inputs are all v1.4 compatible and pass through all 3D formats. All HDMI inputs can extract and decode all current HD audio formats up to and including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio
2 Zone 2 Outputs (Unbalanced RCA)
A pair of RCA jacks that provide a second stereo signal path completely separate from the main output with its own independently selected inputs
3 TV Loop (Analog Inputs and Outputs)
A conventional TV loop consisting of two pairs of RCA jacks; one stereo pair of inputs and one stereo pair of outputs. A stereo down-mix for the selected source (or, in 2 Channel Bypass mode, the Left and Right analog inputs directly) appear at the TV OUTPUTS, unless the selected source is the TV INPUT itself in which case the TV OUTPUTS are muted. The inputs can also be used as another pair of analog inputs, at unity gain.
4 DVR Loop (Analog Inputs and Outputs)
A second record loop which functions same as the TV Loop above.
5 Unbalanced Analog Inputs
Four pairs of general purpose analog inputs labeled BLU-RAY, SAT/CBL, GAME and MEDIA.
6 HDMI Outputs
HDMI Outputs (1) and (2). Always connect the primary display to HDMI
(1). HDMI video is switched to these outputs from the HDMI inputs above. More detailed information on the use of both outputs is below in section USING DUAL HDMI OUTPUTS on pg - 22 -.
7 S/PDIF Digital COAX Inputs
The BLU-RAY, SAT/CBL, GAME, and MEDIA PLAYER front panel selectable sources are supplied with a COAX RCA jack digital audio input. These four inputs will accept any standard S/PDIF source PCM (2 channel), Dolby Digital and DTS formats. These input assignments can be changed at any time.
8 USB 2.0 Type A Input
Used as a digital audio and control input from computers and similar sources. This source does not have any video assigned. The last used video source will remain active when selecting this input. To select a video source first select the active video source and then select the 7.1 or USB input. If no video is required then do not first select a video source.
9 RS232 9-Pin Serial (Female)
Serial data port utilizing a DB9 female connector. For connection to system control systems such as Crestron, Savant, AMX and others.
10 Power Cord Inlet
Use with a standard IEC removable power cord (included).
11 Ethernet 10BaseT (RJ45) Port
For interconnection to personal computers (and/or routers) to facilitate SDP-45 software updates; and also for control functions through system controllers (Crestron, AMX, etc.). This acts an HTTP server.
12 Toslink Optical Digital Inputs and Output
The DVR, and TV front panel selectable sources are also supplied with a standard optical digital audio input. These three inputs will accept any standard S/PDIF source PCM (2 channel), Dolby Digital and DTS formats. These input assignments can be changed at any time.
The Toslink Digital output always sends a digital signal that is identical to the MAIN Left and Right output. No down-mixing or bitstream pass through is used.
