  • Page 4 Installation General Installation Instructions Please consider besides these general instructions also any product-specifi c instructions in the “Installation” chapter of this manual. Unpacking Check the equipment for any transport damage. If the unit is mechanically damaged, if liquids have been spilled or if objects have fallen into the unit, it must not be connected to the AC power outlet, or it must be immediately disconnected by unplugging the power cable.
  • Page 5 Installation / EMC Class I Equipment (Mains Operation) Should the equipment be delivered without a matching mains cable, the latter has to be prepared by a trained person using the attached female plug (IEC 320 / C13 or IEC 320 / C19) with respect to the applicable regulations in your country.
  • Page 6 EMC / Maintenance / ESD • Use a system grounding concept that satisfi es the safety requirements (class I equipment must be connected with a protective ground conduc- tor) and that also takes into consideration the EMC require ments. When deciding between radial, surface, or combined grounding, the advantages and disadvantages should be carefully evaluated in each case.
  • Page 7 ESD / Repair • When performing a repair by replacing complete assemblies, the removed assembly must be sent back to the supplier in the same packing material in which the replacement assembly was shipped. If this should not be the case, any claim for a possible refund will be null and void.
  • Page 8 Repair / Disposal SMD Components Studer has no commercially available SMD components in stock for ser- vice purposes. For repair, the corresponding devices have to be purchased locally. The specifi cations of special components can be found in the service manual.
  • Page 9 Any changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Also refer to relevant information in this manual. CE Declaration of Conformity Studer Professional Audio GmbH, CH-8105 Regensdorf, declare under our sole responsibility that the product Studer SCore Live (from serial no.
  • Page 10 Beyond these specifi cations, possible problems are described below. Ambient Temperature Units and systems by Studer are generally designed for an ambient tempera- ture range (i.e. temperature of the incoming air) of +5 °C to +40 °C. When rack mounting the units, the intended air fl ow and herewith adequate cooling must be provided.
  • Page 11 Appendix evaporation (sublimation) may be expected; otherwise the system must be heated and dried while switched off. A system without visible internal formation of ice or condensation should be heated up with its own heat dissipation, as homogeneously (and subsequently as slow) as possible;...

    SCore Live GENERAL Utilization for the Purpose Intended The SCore Live system is intended for professional use. It is presumed that the unit is operated only by trained personnel. Servicing is reserved to skilled technicians. The electrical connections may be connected only to the voltages and signals designated in this manual.
  • Page 17 SCore Live Ventilation Implementation A power dissipation estimation, considering the number of cards and their confi guration within the frame, is strongly recommended. The following tables give some guidelines. Power Dissipation Card No. Card Name/Description (approx.) Backplane with power supply...
  • Page 18: Adjustments, Repair, Cleaning

    The primary fuse is located within the power supply module and cannot be changed. In case of failure, the complete power supply unit must be replaced. Please ask your nearest Studer representative. Cleaning: Do not use any liquids to clean the exterior of the unit. A soft, dry cloth or brush will usually do.
  • Page 19: Introduction

    SCore Live INTRODUCTION The SCore Live system occupies just 6U rack space and provides space for up to nine DSP cards. It also holds up to twelve D21m I/O cards of various formats in addition to one ( ) or two ( ) D21m gene- ral-purpose input/output (GPIO) card(s).
  • Page 20: Block Diagram

    Audio In/Out I/O Slot: 10 11 12 As illustrated above, an SCore Live frame houses up to nine DSP cards in the center of the upper frame section. It also holds up to two ( ) or one ) additional D21m GPIO card(s) at the left of the DSP cards.

    SCore Live SCore Live Host Card 1.943.326 The Host card is the logical link between the Bridge card and the OnAir 3000 desk. It hosts the DNet mix engine control software. The backplane connector provides 5 V power to the card. The card can be hot-swapped, but requires a power off/on cycle in order to correctly initialize the DSP cards.
  • Page 24 SCore Live STATUS LEDs: During power-up of the core, the Host card STATUS LEDs are controlled by the embedded controller. After the operating system has successfully started and initialized, the application (e.g. OnAir 3000) is taking over the control over the LED bar.

  • Page 26: Score Live/Pro Dsp Card

    SCore Live/Pro DSP Card 1.943.360 The SCore Live/Pro DSP card is used in the SCore Live for digital audio processing. The VDCA TDM bus interface allows the card to interchange audio data, serial data, and program code with the bridge card and other DSP cards.

  • Page 28: Bridge Card

    Bridge Card 1.943.370 The SCore Bridge card is used in the SCore Live to manage the whole core system. Two Gigabit Ethernet connectors provide a redundant connection to the desk or host application. The card downloads code to the DSP cards and passes serial data, parameters, and meter data between the desk or host application and the DSP cards.
  • Page 29 OFF. IP Address ( When replacing a Bridge card in an SCore Live of an OnAir 3000 system, copy the IP address of the old card (can be found in the DSP.ini file) to the new card using Internet Explorer. Otherwise the system will not be operative.

  • Page 32: Ext. Sync Card

    Three inputs (VIDEO IN, WCLK IN, and AES SYNC IN) can be used; their signals are sent to the SCore Live sync bus on the backplane. While the video sync is separated on the card, the other signals are just driven onto the bus.

  • Page 34: Primary Power Supply

    Air Deflector/Filter Unit 1.949.599 If the power dissipation of an SCore Live frame is between 50 and 100 W, air deflector/filter units must be used on top of and below the frame. For a frame dissipating more power, a fan unit (see below) must be used at the bottom of the frame, combined with an air deflector/filter unit on its top.
  • Page 35: D21M I/O Subsystem

    A 15-pin D-type cable (order no. 89.20.1167) for connection to the primary PSU is required. Please note that currently the fan monitoring is implemented for the use of the fan unit within the SCore Live only. For more information on cooling as well as guidelines for power dissipation estimation refer to chapter 1.2.2, paragraph “thermal considerations”.
