SYSTEM COMPONENTS System Components Control Surface Much like any audio console the System 5’s surface includes channel strips and a center section for master facilities. The surface is modular, making it easy to add extra channel strips at any time. Connections to the rack are Cat 5 Ethernet so placement is not restricted by complex cabling. No audio flows through the con- trol surface as the audio electronics are housed remotely. System 5 Control Surface The console surface controls the

CHANNELS Channels The number of cards in the DSP SuperCore determine the num- ber of channels and buses that are available in each System 5. For a given number of cards in the DSP SuperCore, different combinations of channels and buses may be quickly configured A B using the eMix Mixer Model software. Usually a Mixer Model is chosen during installation and is used throughout the life of the system as it will best match the application requirements Channel Inputs of the studio. Each Syste

STRIPS Strips System 5 is built up of modules of 8 strips. Controls closely resemble those of a traditional analog surface. In its simplest form a single strip controls a single source so a 48 strip surface TFT Graphic Display: could control 48 channels. meters, designation, pan, EQ, dyn graphs, routing indication Swap (Replace) Swap Button However there is a very useful function Designations: called “Swap” which allows single strips, Swap Source or every strip, to switch between two cha

STRIPS Strips New Rotary Touch Knobs System 5 uses unique rotary illuminated touch-sensitive knobs that instantly reset after a recall. The center of the knob also includes a switch which can be used for certain knobset select functions, and to punch in the knob automation, if the touch- sensitive knob automation option is switched off. The displays reflect the type of control, for example a gain con- trol is shown opposite. Below are the different displays for dif- ferent functions: Knob w

INPUTS Inputs Each channel has two digital inputs labelled A and B. Controls for each input include: • Gain Trim • Phase Reverse Impedance High Z/Low Z • Delay • Input Select (A, B, or A+B) Phantom Patching Input Sources In/Out (PatchNet) The PatchNet routing system (see page 28) is used to patch sources to inputs. Any sources within the system, such as mix- High Pass Filter minus/group outputs or externals may be sent to these inputs. In/Out External MADI inputs can also be directly patch
