Section 4 – System Components
This section gives an overview of the main units in the system. See Appendix A for specifications and Appendices B and C
for connector details and pinouts.
C200 Console
Each console control surface will consist of one Centre Section and can be specified to have from 16 to 96 channel faders
in groups of 8. (Note: a group of 8 faders and controls and its frame is termed a bay). See page 10 for frame sizes.
Each console channel bay consists of five sections: Main Faders, Small Faders, Auxes, EQ, Dynamics and the meters. This
layout is not fixed so that, for example, the Aux and EQ positions could be swapped.
Only the faders are removable individually, all other panels (termed tiles) are 8 channels wide.
Only the faders are removable individually, all other panels (termed tiles) are 8 channels wide.
Note that the number of physical faders fitted does not limit the number of processing channels available; this is determined
by the amount of DSP resource fitted to the processor.
The Centre Section may optionally be specified with a 6 or 8-channel LCD phase-scope and has additional space for
mechanical meters. Alternatively, a range of custom meter configurations is possible; these should be detailed at the time
of order.
The console frame may be specified to have 19" wide sections for script space (known as 'Producer's' tables). These can
be fitted with either a full-depth flat table or a shorter table and either 7U or 14U of equipment racking.
SSL's Project Engineering Department can provide specific console footprint drawings detailing metering options during
the specification process.
Single Width 'Mobile' Centre Section
For installations where width is restricted a narrower, or 'mobile', Centre Section may be specified. This will reduce the
console overall width by 387mm.
In this configuration, the Centre Section will consist of a single eight module-width bay fitted with the master control and
monitoring panels.The section containing the TFT display and motion control panel is not fitted.The trackball, the Jogwheel
and some automation buttons are not fitted. Additionally, there is no space to fit mechanical meters.
It will be necessary for the facility to provide an external XGA video monitor for the computer control display.The video
signal is is available on an analogue HD15 connector on the rear of the Centuri processor (see page 28).
