The DF64 Digital Frame is a rack-mounted unit that performs all audio processing in System 5: dynamics and EQ, mix buses, record buses, aux sends, and monitor buses. Up to four DF64s can be specified in a single system and their DSP can be allocated, using fac- tory-supplied Mixer Model files, to provide different numbers of buses and channels for each project.
Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Overview Inputs System 5 inputs may be mono, stereo, or any format up to 7.1, which means that a single input may use one to eight logical channels. Physical Faders Each CM408 Eight-channel Module contains eight physical faders. Each fader can control two inputs using a Swap button that switches the fader between the Swap and Main inputs.
Digital Sync A high quality digital sync source is required for the System 5 console. Some facilities may already have a digital master clock or house reference in place but others may require one. Euphonix has tested several digital sync generators and distribution amplifiers and can supply...
Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Overview We recommend following these guidelines: • It is important to minimize the timing differences between signal paths to avoid cumulative timing errors. It is good system engineering practice to send sync signals to all system components from one source.

Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Overview Firewire Each DF64 Digital Frame requires an PC254d Digital Pilot computer. These computers re- quire no user interaction and configure the individual DF64s on startup. Each are connected to their respective DF64s via firewire.
This section helps estimate the system requirements for a particular installation. Contact a Euphonix representative for an exact specification. Use following categories to determine the System 5 components necessary for your studio. Most of the studio details considered here are relevant to any digital mixing system.
Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Overview I/O Specification When considering I/O requirements, count the number of analog and AES/EBU inputs and outputs required to hook up all equipment and auxiliary panels for extra equipment. Do not specify I/O from the console perspective. For example, it is not efficient to specify one an- alog input and one analog output to be used as an insert point for each channel input.
