System 5 is a modular digital audio mixing
system that can be configured with hundreds of channels and
is designed specifically for audio post & music mixing
applications.
System 5 Key Features
• Easy to use and learn—intuitive interface
• Modular surface and I/O design
• Constant visual feedback for the operator
• Highest sound quality
• Star format Ethernet module interconnection resulting
in more secure operation and no communication bottleneck
• Mixer Channel & Bus Size:
- modular up to 300 channels
- each channel has 4 band EQ, dynamics and two filters
- up to 48 mix buses, 48 group buses, 24 aux sends, 72
external inputs
• High-resolution LED meters next to each fader
• 240 SnapShot Recalls of all console settings
• 48 Layouts for different surface configurations
• PatchNet - digital router/patchbay
• Surround panning and monitoring as standard
• Spill function for easy access to multi-format
sources
• 8 Knobs & 100mm touch sensitive moving fader
per strip
• TFT high-resolution displays at the top of
each channel for metering (up to 5.1), EQ, dynamics & pan
graphs and routing
• Dynamic automation of most parameters to timecode
• Conform to picture
• Comprehensive machine control facilities integrating
with Soundmaster, Colin Broad, Tamura and JSK
• Up to 3-operator configuration
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 control surface as the audio electronics are housed remotely.
The console surface controls the Euphonix DSP SuperCore
and, with the EuCon Hybrid Option, can control DAW tracks
on multiple external DAWs via the EuCon control protocol
over Ethernet .
New Digital Processing Core
Audio signals are processed in the new modular DSP SuperCore
which includes DSP for channels, MADI I/O and a router
(patchbay). The DSP SuperCore easily handles 24-bit 48kHz
or 96kHz audio up to 40-bit floating point processing and
is hardware capable of even higher sample rates up to 384kHz. A
2nd redundant DSP SuperCore can be supplied with a changeover
unit for on-air use providing complete 100% redundancy
of the DSPO Channels, MADI I/O and router.
Audio Interfaces
Audio Interconnections use AES10 MADI (up to 64 channels
of 24-bit digital audio data carried on a single 75ohm
coax cable or fiber). To interface the console to the outside
world, multi-channel digital and analog converters, digital
format converters with sample rate conversion, as well
as remote mic/line input amps, are available. Cabling is
simplified because converters can be placed next to the
equipment they interface to. The modularity means that
the balance between analog and digital I/O can be tailored
to the specific needs of the facility.
eMix
Operations such as system setup, file management, patching,
and diagnostics are managed by a program called eMix which
runs with a screen and keyboard, usually situated next
to the console. PatchNet, a powerful digital patching system
that handles patching for all the console’s inputs
and outputs, replaces a traditional patchbay with a system
that can store and recall every single patch that is made. |
