DBC Network
Bridge
t the heart of a Digital B Chain system, the
Crown® DBCTM Bridge allows you to distrib-
Aute multiple channels of digital audio over
standard fast Ethernet hardware and cabling for
use in traditional, e-cinema and d-cinema applica-
tions.
The DBC Bridge accepts standard analog and/or
AES digital audio and CobraNetTM digital channels
from other Cinema processors (Dolby®, DTS®),
Cinema Servers, or Alternative Content Media
Players; and bridges (routes) them to a Crown
DBC network.

This network is Crown’s proprietary “Single-Click”
solution that provides system control, monitoring,
and digital audio transport. The DBC network (fed
by the DBC Bridge) distributes the digital audio
and system-wide control protocol to Crown ampli-
fiers. The DBC Bridge also provides the necessary
system equalization, which is stored and recalled
via a series of presets for use in both feature film
and alternative content programming.
