Once the DSP signal chain and audio format are configured,
the DCP 300 can be connected to an Ethernet LAN for local
or remote management using the QSControl.net suite of
applications or using the DCP 300 3
rd
Party API.
A local Ethernet connection to a Windows laptop or PC that
is running QSC’s Venue Manager Application provides the
system designer with access to status, health and
performance of the local system. Changes to Presets, audio
levels and some automation control objects can be made
through Venue Manager access. DCP 300 firmware updates
can also be performed through the Venue Manager
Application.
For more venue-specific needs, QSC’s QSCreator Application
allows the system designer to create custom control screens
with varying levels of password protection (authentication
rights). QSCreator screens can be as elaborate as the system
designer’s imagination and can be created to depict the
physical layout of the auditorium or the entire cinema complex
Since the QSControl.net suite of applications provide
accessibility to the DCP 300’s the network interface, these
applications can be used to manage an entire sound system
consisting of multiple DCP 300 products, QSC amplifiers,
speakers and other QSC networked-enabled products such as
BASIS, RAVE and DSP
300 series products. Management can
be localized (within the theatre complex) or remote, depending
on the network implementation deployed.

The image above illustrates a Windows laptop connecting directly to the DCP 300 via the product rear panel QSControl interface. The
Windows machine is running QSC’s QSControl.net suite of applications (Venue Manager, QSCreator, Notify, 3r
