Overview of System Components
•
Control Surface: Connects to the processing core via ethernet and the EuCon
Switch. Audio does not pass through the control surface.
•
System Computer (SC264): Runs the eMix software application; all file man-
agement and system setup is done from this computer. See Chapter 4: eMix
Application.
For the broadcast version of the console (System S5B), an SC263 System
Computer is used. The System S5B does not support console automation.
•
Digital Processing Core (DF66): The DF66 Super Core is the digital audio
processing core for System 5. Digital audio is routed to and from the DF66
via MADI.
•
Changeover Switch (CO600, optional): The CO600 Changeover Switch
allows running a backup DF66 Super Core in parallel with the primary unit.
•
System I/O: Digital and analog I/O units connect all of the devices in the studio
to the DF66 (or CO600) via MADI. See Console I/O on page 43.
