    I/O modules with a Master mode can be used instead, but not in conjunction with an SY983. IO93 Double-Sided and IO94 Stagebox frames consist of a single sync zone. The master sync source module must be positioned in one of four red sync source slots in the rear plane. The IO95 Multi-Zone frame contains five isolated sync zones. Each zone in use requires its own master sync source module.
  • Page 8 Control Configuration Each frame must be fitted with an FC972 Remote to externally configure all modules (except analog line in/out and WC984) and control mic preamps remotely using a web browser or console. Install only one FC972 per frame and up to two SY983s (for re- dundant operation, differentiated by Master/Slave setting).

  • Page 9: Io93 Double-Sided Frame

    IO93 Double-Sided Frame The IO93 Double-Sided Frame is a 3RU frame with redundant PSU and two backplanes. Master sync source module(s) must be in- stalled in one (or two) of the four red slots in the rear plane near the power outlet before applying AC power. Spare red slots may be used for other modules.

  • Page 10: Io94 Stagebox Frame

    IO94 Stagebox Frame The IO94 Stagebox Frame is a 3RU frame with redundant PSU and a single backplane. It is ideally suited for stagebox applications and local I/O. Master sync source module(s) must be installed in one (or two) of the four red slots in the rear plane near the power outlet before applying AC power.

  • Page 11: Io95 Multi-Zone Frame

    IO95 Multi-Zone Frame The IO95 Multi-Zone is a 3RU frame with redundant PSU and two backplanes. The frame is divided into five discrete audio/sync zones. The IO95 accommodates applications that use multiple I/O streams, each referenced to a separate sync source. For example, several Dolby-E encoder/decoders can be fitted into one IO95, each in its own audio/sync zone and referenced to separate sync sources.

    Dolby E Encoder with Discrete Sync in IO95 Multi zone Frame – In most cases, Dolby E Encoders may be integrated into any standard frame configuration. However, the Dolby E stream some- times uses external sync that is asynchronous with the console sync. Each Dolby E Encoder must then be paired with its own sync module isolated from console sync.
  • Page 25 Control To set up remote control for the IO95 Frame, use the FC972 Remote to configure the following parameters: Set the IP Address range to 192.168.0.157~159/255.255.255.0. Set the Gateway to 192.168.0.1 for configuration by console system computer. See “FC972 Remote” on page 49 for details. This frame does not contain mic preamps so IP Address range 192.168.0.150~156 is skipped.

    Audio Bus Linking The IO93 backplanes are linked by an internal interconnect PCB that contains 32 switches to link or separate the front and back audio busses. Some disassembly is required to access these switches. Since the Sync and Control busses of the front and rear planes are permanently linked, only one FC972 Remote and one master sync module are required.

Master Sync Module Make sure to install a master sync module in one of the four red reserved slots (left side of frame) before applying AC power. This is typically an SY983 Sync module but the following other modules may also be used as a master sync module when set to Master mode: MM935 MADI, MM936 MADI, DD915 8ch AES I/O, DD916 8ch AES I/O, and HD944 16ch De-embedder.

    Chapter 5: IO95 Multi-Zone Frame The IO95 Multi-Zone Frame is a 3RU frame with redundant PSU and two backplanes. The frame is divided into five discrete au- dio/sync zones. The IO95 accommodates applications that use multiple I/O streams, each referenced to a separate sync source. For example, several Dolby-E encoder/decoders can be fitted into one IO95, each in its own audio/sync zone and referenced to separate sync sources.

  • Page 38: Audio/Sync Zones

    Audio/Sync Zones The IO95 frame consists of five discrete sync zones, each requires its own master sync source. Although this is typically an SY983 Sync HD module (or two SY983s configured in redundant sync mode), an I/O module with Master mode may serve as a master sync source but not in conjunction with an SY983 in the same zone.

For redundant sync operation, place both SY983s in these slots and do not set any other module to Master mode. In a IO95 frame, place one SY983 in each active sync zone (any slot).
  • Page 43 DEV X The DEV X switch accommodates legacy systems requiring a CAN remote to communicate with up to 16 modules spread across two frames. In single SY983 frames, DEVX has no effect. In redundant SY983 frames, the DEVX switch must be set to the same po- sition in both modules.

This opens the FC972’s SYSTEM CONFIG page. wrench tool Frame Controller Overview page Enter the proper NETWORK settings.
  • Page 56 Remote Configuration using a Web Browser Modular I/O frames are remote controlled and configured through a network connection between the FC972 and a PC running a common web browser. This Ethernet-based external access is maintained by a dedicated 32-bit communication processor in the FC972 that runs an HTTP server, a UDP server, and an SNMP agent.
  • Page 57 Settings For IE 7 And Firefox 3 The FC972 supports GUI functions for IE 7.x and Firefox 3.x. For proper operations, these settings may be required: • The browser must allow cookies from Modular I/O units. Pay special attention to settings of third-party tool bars (like Yahoo) which may overwrite the browser’s settings.
  • Page 58 • Declare IE (and/or FireFox) as an exception for the Windows Firewall to maintain proper UDP data transfer from and to the JAVA applet. • If you notice security issues, you may use the UDP PORT RANGE configuration (see “Setting the UDP Port Range” on page 59) to limit the UDP port numbers instead of making an exception for all incoming network connections.
  • Page 59 Activating the Security Feature The FC972 Remote offers a three-tier security scheme: • Viewers can only see status information and level displays. • Operators have Viewer privileges and can also load presets. • Administrators have Operator privileges and can also set up frames, change module parameters, and write presets. Select Password checking enabled to activate this feature.
  • Page 60 To connect from different PCs to the same device, use one UDP port per device because different PCs open a different IP socket con- nection for the same device. To connect from one PC to different devices, a unique UDP port number must be set for every remote device so assign a range of UDP ports for the Frame Controller.
  • Page 61 Click the START UPDATE NOW button. A progress bar appears when the update process starts. The controller uploads the image file from the PC into its memory, erases the flash memory, and burns the new image. A dialog appears when finished. Click OK and the browser reloads the website from the FC972 Remote.
  • Page 62 Click SAVE LICENSE INFO and an XML file is generated that should be saved and sent to Avid sales/support. Avid returns a Li- cense File that must be uploaded to the FC972 Remote. Click the SEARCH button to navigate to the file. Click APPLY LICENSE NOW.
  • Page 63 SNMP Operation The FC972's SNMP agent polls the system and generates status information. Modules are polled continuously and the status in- formation is condensed for the entire frame. An external monitoring tool (SNMP Manager) may poll the SNMP agent based on the Modular I/O Audio MIB (Management Information Bases).
  • Page 64 Using a slider to change parameter values Error Monitoring When an upstream error condition (i.e., processor module) that results in signal loss at the embedder input is detected, the mod- ule switches to an alternative bus for fail-safe operation. The alternative bus can be a similar signal bypassing the processing mod- ule (i.e., processor input signal), or an alternate audio signal (i.e., pre-recorded announcement).
  • Page 65 Monitoring the Processing Status of a Processing Module The most important audio processing module parameter is its momentary gain, which is permanently changed by an adaptive dynamic process like LevelMagic™. If this gain persists too long at one end of its working range, the processing parameters should be checked.
