DSP Supercore
with MADI I/O & Router

The lightweight and compact DF66 DSP SuperCore is the primary signal-processing engine and router for System 5 and Max Air digital mixing consoles. It is comprised of a system board and up to six plug-in SP663 DSP cards. The SuperCore has more than enough DSP horsepower, system functionality, and reliability to satisfy today's demanding broadcast applications.

Power Features

  • DSP Processing - Massive amount of scalable DSP available for fully featured channels and busses with Delay, EQ & Dynamics processing. Each SP663 card adds 5.5 GFLOPS of processing power.
  • MADI I/O - each SP663 card adds 4 MADI inputs and outputs (256 x 256 paths at 48KHz)
  • Broadcast Router - controlled by the console's PatchNet Software
  • 100% Changeover Option - Complete immediate changeover of the DSP SuperCore including DSP Channels, MADI I/O, and Router
  • Compact, lightweight, modular and scalable
  • Accommodates from 50 to over 300 channels with full EQ & dynamics at 48KHz
  • Over 440 signal paths per DSP SuperCore at 48kHz
  • Independent EQ and dynamics processing plus up to 2 seconds delay for each channel
  • Bus processing with dynamics and filters
  • 4,096-path FPGA audio router on each SP663 DSP card
  • Up to 24x24 MADI I/O (1536x1536 paths @ 48kHz) per DSP SuperCore
  • Hardware compatible with 192/384 kHz
  • DSPs support 40 bit, 32 bit IEEE floating point and 32 bit fixed point formats
  • Hybrid FPGA and DSP technology to accommodate 40 bit floating point (extended precision) operation, for timing precision, and wide feature set
  • Parallel signal processing utilizing SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) architecture
  • Optional SNMP System Management Controller remotely monitors operating conditions and notifies the user to take action to avert system failure

100% Changeover Redundancy Option

100% Redundancy Fallover Image
For broadcast installations Euphonix supplies a backup DSP SuperCore in parallel with the primary unit and is the only total redundancy system available on the market - another Euphonix first. This ensures complete redundancy of the MADI I/O, Router and DSP Processing!

All audio signals are distributed to both the primary and backup DSP cores.  If the diagnostics detects a fault the operator is notified and the system automatically puts the backup DSP online.  Alternatively, the changeover can be set to manual mode which allows the operator to select either DSP core at any time.

SNMP System Management Option

The DF66 includes dual redundant power supplies and can be fitted with optional SNMP System Management Controller which remotely monitors a wide variety of internal system conditions and notifies the user to take action to avert system failure via email, pager or the web. Battery backup ensures operation even when power fails.
