System Control Connections - Euphonix SYSTEM 5 Installation Manual

Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide
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.

System Control Connections

Ethernet
Several intelligent system components are connected via RJ45 ethernet through a EuCon
ethernet hub. These devices include:
• SC263 System Computer
DF66 SuperCore
•
• PC254i Interface Computer
• CM408T Eight-channel Modules
• CM401T Master Fader Module (console center section)
• CM402T Expanded Channel Module (console center section)
• CM403 Film and Joystick Panels
Failover switch (optional)

Monitor, Trackball, and Keyboard
The SC263 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.
TCC Control
The PC254i Interface computer also requires no user interaction. It connects to the MC524
Monitor Interface and up to five ML530 Mic/Line Interfaces via TCC connection.
Machine Control
The TT007 provides machine control of three serial 9-pin devices, MTC, and LTC. The
TT007 connects via MIDI in and out to a MOTU MIDI I/F. This interface is connected to
the SC263 System Computer, MMC, LYNX Net, and ESBus via the USB port.
