MORSE System (option)
The MORSE (MOdular Resource Sharing Engine) system provides a cost-effective, scalable solution for the sharing of local
or remote audio I/O and managing control data. The system is specifically designed for on-air reliability and features
optional redundancy on all data links and fault tolerant proprietary software.
The system comprises a central router to which remote stageboxes and consoles may be connected via optical MADI links
to provide a resource sharing solution. The router is available as a 3U rack with up to 24 individual links available or as a
6U rack with up to 48 links.
Stageboxes can be connected to the router so that any I/O signal is then able to be allocated to any Blackrock processor
connected to the router. If however resource sharing is not a requirement stageboxes can be directly connected to the
processor.
Each stagebox can each can be fitted with up to 56 channels of I/O. Plug-in modules are available for: Microphone level
input, line level analogue I/O, AES, MADI and SDI. A 2nd redundant power supply can be fitted. Stageboxes are connected
to the router or console using one or two duplex optical MADI links.
The fibre links between the Blackrock and the MORSE router are available as multimode type only. The morse fibre
connector standard is duplex SC. Blackrock to MORSE fibre leads are therefore LC – SC duplex multimode.
The MORSE system is more fully described in a separate SSL document 'Morse Specification Guide' part number:
82S6SMO10A.
