Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide

System 5 Overview

 

 

 

 

Digital I/O

All digital I/O is converted to and from MADI format via the DM714 AES/EBU to MADI Converter, and the MD704 MADI to AES/EBU Converter. Each unit’s main I/O handles 24 signals (12 AES/EBU pairs) and also contains an auxiliary stereo analog input or output, and an auxiliary stereo digital input or output (AES/EBU and S/PDIF). All digital inputs have built in Sample Rate Converters.

Format Conversion

The FC727 is a bidirectional device with 56 channels of sample-rate-converted I/O. All inputs and outputs are converted to and from MADI which are connected to the connected to the MADI I/O on the DF64 MADI card or through the optional SH612 Studio Hub. In addition to AES/EBU I/O, the FC727 allows direct connection to several third-party digital for- mats. Formats supported by the unit are TDIF, ProDigi, SDIF-2, ADAT Optical, and Pro Tools. AES/EBU outputs are always active even when using third-party formats.

Mic inputs

Mic inputs are handled by the ML530 Mic/Line Interfaces. Each unit contains 24 remote control mic preamps. Each ML530 is connected to a dedicated AM713 Analog to MADI Converter. Up to five ML530s may be deployed in a system.

Monitoring

Monitoring is handled by the MC524 Monitor Interface. This unit provides Main (7.1), Alt 1 (5.1), and Alt 2 (stereo) control room monitoring, SLS (7.1), and Cues 1–3 (each stereo) studio monitoring, 2 talkback preamps, and 4 listen mic preamps. The MC524 is connected to a dedicated MA703 MADI to Analog Converter.

Power

Some of the System 5 console components have dual power entry connectors for redundant power supplies. We recommend deriving the two power supplies from different sources to maximize the failsafe capabilities of the system. The best case is to connect one power sup- ply to a UPS (Uninturuptable Power Supply) and the other to a clean technical power source. If a UPS is not used, the power supplies should be connected to seperately protected clean technical power circuits.

Digital Sync

A high quality digital sync source is required for the System 5 console. Some facilities may already have a digital master clock or house reference in place but others may require one. Euphonix has tested several digital sync generators and distribution amplifiers and can supply these devices with the console. Contact a Euphonix sales representative for further information.
