Interfacing
6 Interfacing
Due to the flexibility of the Sirius all interfacing will be dealt with in separate sections.
All the different I/O units shall be discussed here.
6.1 I/O rack
The I/O rack can be selected out of several interface units to satisfy individual needs in this
matter.
Some of the units have to be part of the rack as essentials. These are the CPU, the MUX and
the power-supply.
All other components can be selected based upon necessity. We are talking about 'Digital to
Digital units', 'Analog to Digital units' and the 'Digital to Analog unit'.
6.1.1 CPU
The CPU is used to manage the whole system. Via this CPU you can control the complete
mixing console.
All you need is a mouse, a keyboard and a monitor. These items can be connected to the back
of the unit on standard industry connectors.
Furthermore there is a large 68-pole connector (SCSI 'twisted pair' connector) on the back
that needs to be hooked up to the MUX card. The maximum length tested is 1.8 meters. We
suggest to have de CPU and I/O rack located together.
The 115V or 230V power connector should only be connected when the whole system is wired
completely.
6.1.2 MUX
The MUX unit takes care of collecting all data in the system. It is therefore that you will notice
lots of cables. For you as end user only the necessary cables for performing its normal duties
are accessible.
The LED's positioned on the left side indicate the status of the MUX unit:
Power
the MUX unit is powered.
OK
indicates that the software is running properly.
