System 5-B

On-Air & Live-To-Tape Production
The System 5-B digital broadcast console is specifically configured for live and live-to-tape production with dual redundant power supplies and redundant DSP SuperCore. Euphonix is a world leader in providing reliable, fault-tolerant consoles to broadcast facilities around the world. Euphonix's focus on world-class customer service and after sale support is critical to the successful transition to digital.

System 5-BP

On-Air, Live-To-Tape Production, and Audio Post-Production
The System 5-BP has all the redundant features of the System 5-B but with dynamic Mix Automation and Machine Control so it is able to handle applications where both on-air and audio post production is required from a single system.

Live Venue Applications
Several large venues have installed System 5 consoles. Whenever the venue is involved in live broadcast, System 5-B is the perfect fit. In many cases these consoles also double up to perform audio post tasks, usually for re-purposing shows for later re-broadcast or for distribution on CD or DVD - in these cases the System 5-BP, with both on-air redundant features, and the full dynamic mix automation, is the choice. Venues such as Sydney Opera House, Grand Ole Opry, Lakewood Church and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir are good examples of installations that benefit from the System 5-BP feature set. System 5-B can also be used as a Front of House console especially when a System 5 is used for on-air broadcast mixing - examples of this application include the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Lakewood Church. In this case MADI connectivity between the main broadcast console and the FOH console ensure efficient sharing of sources.
