DF66 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 SP662 DSP cards. The SuperCore has more than enough
DSP horsepower, system functionality, and reliability to satisfy
today’s demanding broadcast applications.
The DSP SuperCore
provides:
•
DSP Processing - Massive amount of scalable DSP available for fully
featured channels and busses with Delay, EQ & Dynamics
processing. Each SP662 card adds 4.8 GFLOPS of processing
power.
• MADI I/O - each SP662 card adds 4 MADI
inputs and outputs (256 x 256 paths at 48KHz)
•
Broadcast Router controlled by the console’s PatchNet
Software

DSP SuperCore Features
The DSP SuperCore is packed with advanced features that stand
out from the competition:
• Compact, lightweight, modular and scalable
•
Accommodates from 62 to over 190 channels with full EQ & dynamics
at 48KHz
•
Over 300 signal paths per DSP SuperCore at 48kHz
• Independent EQ and dynamics processing plus up to 2 seconds delay
for each channel
• Buss processing with dynamics and filters
• 4,096-path FPGA audio router on each SP662 DSP card
• Up to 24x24 MADI I/O (1536x1536 paths @ 48kHz) per DSP SuperCore
• Optional 100% changeover redundancy
• 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
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 system detects a fault the operator
is notified and given the option to changeover the system. In
addition, the operator can, at his discretion, change over the
system at any time. Linked DSP SuperCores in the primary and
backup systems work as one contiguous DSP core. Even with multiple
linked cores, the changeover function switches all I/O over to
the backup system.
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.
