I/O system, an integrated MADI router, a serial machine control interface, and GPIO. These options allow the System 5 to be configured for virtually any audio mixing applica- tions, including large-scale film production, on-air broadcast, post-production, and music.
Below are important concepts regarding control surface configuration: Sources A System 5 fader can control one source at a time. Sources may be formatted to be mono, stereo, or any format up to 7.1. Each source will require one or more logical channels.
DAWs, including Nuendo, ProTools, Logic Pro, and Pyramix. The SC264 connects with DAWs via a 1000Base-T network switch. Euphonix offers a variety of I/O solutions -- all employing MADI audio for connecting to the DF66/CO600. These include Euphonix “Classic” stand-alone 2RU MADI converters as well as a flexible Modular I/O system.

The ML530 Mic-Line Interface contains 24 remote-controlled mic preamps. Audio outputs are fed to a dedicated AM713 Analog-to-MADI Converter for MADI con- nection to the DF66/CO600. The ML530 is controlled via the Euphonix TCC serial protocol (proprietary) by the System Computer. Up to seven ML530s may be de- ployed in a system.
Monitoring System 5 monitoring is handled by the MC524 Monitor-Comms Interface. This unit provides Main (7.1), Alt 1 (5.1), and Alt 2 (stereo) control room speaker outputs; SLS (7.1), and Cues 1-3 (each stereo) studio speaker outputs; 2 talkback mic preamps and 4 listen mic preamps.
System 5 Overview Power Most of the System 5 console components have dual power entry connectors for redun- dant power supplies. Euphonix recommends deriving power from two different sources to maximize the failsafe capabilities. The best case is to connect one power supply to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and the other to a clean technical power source.
Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Overview System Control Connections Ethernet All primary system components are connected via RJ45 ethernet through a 100Base-T ethernet switch. These devices include: • System Computer (SC263 or SC264) • CM401T Master Fader Module (console center section) •...
This section helps estimate the system requirements for a particular installation. Contact a Euphonix representative for an exact specification. Use the following categor ies to deter- mine the System 5 components necessary for your studio. Most of the details considered here are relevant to any digital mixing system.
In the case of modular I/O, only mic, analog, AES, and embedder/de-embedder modules are shown. Refer to the Euphonix Modular I/O Configuration Guide for more details on sync, MADI I/O, and remote control modules as well as general configuration require- ments.

Short-duration undervoltages are called "voltage sags" or "voltage dips". A voltage sag below 90% of the equipment rating exceeds the minimum allowable standard. Euphonix's products have been tested and found to comply with the performance limits of EN55103:2, E-4 Environment.

I/O Cards Figure 3-30 IO93 Modular I/O Frame Front and Rear Panels The Euphonix Modular I/O system allows I/O configuration flexibility. Several frame types can be fitted with a variety of I/O and control modules. All audio sig- nals are converted to/from MADI for interfacing to the console. Depending on the configuration, a maximum signal density of 64 inputs and 64 outputs on a single MADI I/O is possible.
Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Components • Any frame fitted with modules requiring remote control must be fitted with an FC972 Remote module for TCP/IP interfacing to the console network. • A frame must have a master sync module. This may be a dedicated sync mo- dule or a MADI I/O module set to “sync-to-MADI”.

Euphonix System 5 Installation Guide System 5 Components is accomplished through a crosspoint matrix with preset capability. The matrix is configured via a web browser interface. In Master mode, the MM934 can provide sync to the frame from the MADI input. In this mode, it must be installed in one of the four “reserved” slots on the rear-plane.
