1.1Introduction to the SH612

The SH612 Studio Hub is a TDM signal router using MADI connections to route 672 inputs and 672 outputs. It supports 56 channels at 48 kHz on each MADI port, or 28 channels per port at 96 kHz sample rate, and outputs any input MADI port to any output port.

For System 5 and Max Air console installations, the SH612 provides the central point from which to send and receive MADI signals. In these installations, each SH612 is configured and installed by Euphonix, so you will not often need to modify most of its parameters. The console has built-in routing control for the Studio Hub. For console system hookup, see your console’s Technical Overview document in your manual bind- er.

The SH612 can also operate as a standalone MADI router and as an ES Control capable router for use with video routing systems. For these applications, all functions can be controlled from the front panel, or through the standalone Route Manager application or ES Control capable video router.
