    Chapter 4, “Connecting System Components” illustrates how to interconnect system modules and components. Theory of Operation The primary components of System 5 are the DF66 or DF70 SuperCore mix engine, control surface modules, the SC264 System Computer, and the CO600 MADI Changeover Switch (used in broadcast redundancy configurations). These devices, along with TCP/IP-controlled devices such as the Modular I/O Remote Preamps, communicate via a 100 Base-T star network.

    Sources A System 5 fader can control one source at a time. Each source may be assigned a variety of formats, from mono to 7.1, and re- quires one or more logical channels. For example, a mono source requires one channel, a stereo source requires two, and a 7.1-channel source requires eight.

    Synchronization Word Clock or AES Sync (DARS) may be used as the clock source required by many System 5 components, including the DF66/DF70 SuperCore, CO600 MADI Changeover Switch, and all MADI I/O. In addition, video sync is required for the serial ma- chine control interface in the System Computer.
  • Page 12 Avid Modular I/O Avid Modular I/O System 5 configurations consist of one or more 3RU frames with redundant PSUs that can be fitted with a va- riety of I/O modules. All signals to the console are converted to and from MADI. Depending on the configuration, a maximum signal density of 64 inputs and 64 outputs can be achieved on a single MADI I/O.

Each card provides four MADI I/Os for a maximum of 24 MADI inputs and 23 MADI outputs (MADI out 1 is reserved for the MA703/MC524 monitor connection).
