Chapter 2: System 5 Overview 7

Chapter 2: System 5 Overview

This chapter provides a basic overview of the System 5 theory of operation, I/O solutions, and system requirements.

Chapter 3, “System 5 Console” presents the console in detail, including physical and environmental specifications.

Chapter 4, “Connecting System Components” illustrates how to interconnect system modules and components.

Theory of Operation

The primary components of System 5 are the DF66 or DF70 SuperCore mix engine, control surface modules, the SC264 System

Computer, and the CO600 MADI Changeover Switch (used in broadcast redundancy configurations). These devices, along with

TCP/IP-controlled devices such as the Modular I/O Remote Preamps, communicate via a 100 Base-T star network.

The SC264 contains the GPIO and serial machine control interface. Secondary peripheral devices, such as the ML530 Mic-Line In-

terface and the MC524 Monitor Interface, connect to the SC264 System Computer and communicate via the System 5 TCC serial

protocol. All Avid I/O devices interface via MADI and connect directly to the DF66 or DF70 SuperCore, or to the CO600 MADI

Changeover Switch.

Digital Signal Processing

The DF66 or DF70 SuperCore performs all System 5 audio processing and routing (Dynamics, EQ, mix busses, aux sends, and

monitor busses). The DF66 can be fitted with up to six SP663 DSP Line cards, each of which provides four MADI I/Os. For systems

that demand more DSP, the DF70 has eight cards that supports up to 454 channels at 48 kHz or 222 channels at 96 kHz. The

actual DSP is allocated using factory-supplied Mixer Model files that provide different numbers of busses and channels.

The number of SP663 Line cards required in a system depends on the number of logical channels desired: a mono input uses one

logical channel, a stereo input uses two, and a 7.1 input uses eight.

The following devices can be used for non-redundant DSP configurations:

• SC264D (1–2 cards)

• SC264 + DF66 (1–6 cards)

• SC264 + DF70 (8 cards)

In broadcast redundancy configurations, two identical DF66s operate in parallel, one as primary and the other as backup. Each

connects to the CO600 MADI Changeover Switch, which monitors the performance of both. If the primary DF66 fails, the backup

is automatically placed online.

The following devices can be used for redundant DSP configurations:

• SC264D + DF66 + CO600 (1–2 cards)

• SC264 + DF66x2 + CO600 (1–6 cards)

SuperCores with six or more SP663 Line Cards require Avantech modules with 1 GB RAM.

All DSP card versions must run the most current firmware. See instructions with the update software.

System 5 Installation Guide8

TT002B

The TT002B is a single-port, RS422 (Sony 9-pin) USB device and MMC machine controller that ships with all System Computers.

The TT002B locks to a machine and reads LTC more quickly than the devices it replaced (TT002, TT007, MOTU Midi Interface,

and GP132). To control more than one machine, a Sound Master, Colin Broad RM6, or similar device is required.

The System 5 software can auto-sense the TT002B. The setup options are done from the Machines page on the CM401T, and the

System Preferences Page. The timecode source, frame rate, track arming length, and fast forward/rewind speeds can all be set from

the System Preferences page. The CM401T TFT displays the selected frame count and incoming frame rate.

A TT003 machine controller is available for dual-operator System 5 configurations. It is physically different from the TT002 and

requires different firmware. An additional USB port is provided to connect the two System Computers.

The following diagram shows the TT002B’s GPI circuit.

The TT002 is not a synchronizer.

System 5 Installation Guide10

Control Surface

Each control surface must include one CM401T Master Module and at least one CM408T Eight-Fader Module. The System 5 control

surface modules are listed in the table below. Depending on the system configuration, the surface modules may have redundant

PSUs.

Sources

A System 5 fader can control one source at a time. Each source may be assigned a variety of formats, from mono to 7.1, and re-

quires one or more logical channels. For example, a mono source requires one channel, a stereo source requires two, and a

7.1-channel source requires eight. This means that a fader assigned to a 7.1-channel source is controlling eight logical channels

simultaneously.

Physical Faders

Each CM408T module has eight fader strips. Two sources in any format can be assigned to a fader strip, but only one can be con-

trolled at a time. The fader strip’s Swap button switches between the two sources: When the Swap button is lit, the fader controls

the Swap layer, otherwise it controls the Main layer.

Layouts

Source assignments to console faders can be saved using a Layout, which can map the entire console or just a selected number of

faders. Layouts can be named, stored, and recalled to instantly remap the console surface. Recalling a Layout that does not in-

clude all faders remaps only those in the Layout.

Consider two Layouts using a console with one CM408T with eight physical faders:

• Layout 1 could recall 16 stereo sources assigned to the faders (eight Main, eight Swap), resulting in 32 logical channels.

• Layout 2 could recall 16 5.1-channel sources assigned to the faders (eight Main, eight Swap), resulting in 96 logical channels.

System Configuration

The SC264 System Computer runs the eMix software, provides the primary console configuration interface, and performs file

management functions. The computer also houses the TCC serial interface for monitor control, GPIO, and serial machine control.

Facilities often install a larger console frame than is required for the initial surface module configuration. This can support

future expansion or fulfill physical requirements for console access. Blank sections such as the CM409F and CM409H can

fill otherwise empty spaces in the frame.
