Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Overview
12
We recommend following these guidelines:
• It is important to minimize the timing differences between signal paths to avoid
cumulative timing errors. It is good system engineering practice to send sync
signals to all system components from one source.
• Sync signals should not be looped and each distribution amplifier should be fed
directly from the master clock source.
• Drawings in this installation guide show the use of Word Clock. The user may
use either AES/EBU sync or Word Clock.
NOTE: The SH612’s sync connections are designed to be used for in-house factory
testing and should not be used in the final installation.
System Control Connections
Ethernet
Several intelligent system components are connected via RJ45 ethernet through a EuCon
ethernet hub. These devices include:
• SC261 System Computer
• PC253d Digital Pilot Computers
• PC253i Interface Computer
• CM408 Eight-channel Modules
• CM401 Master Fader Module (console center section)
• CM402 Expanded Channel Module (console center section)
• CM403 Film and Joystick Panels
Monitor, Trackball, and Keyboard
The SC261 System Computer provides master control for the entire system. A monitor,
trackball, and keyboard located in the control room connect to this computer and control
mixing, routing, and file management. A KVM Extender is typically used which routes
these signals from the machine room to the control room through a single multipair cable
built into the console ethernet harness.
Firewire
Each DF64 Digital Frame requires an PC253d Digital Pilot computer. These computers re-
quire no user interaction and configure the individual DF64s on startup. Each are connected
to their respective DF64s via firewire.
