Chapter 1: Getting Started
1.1 Introduction to the SH612
The SH612 Studio Hub is a TDM signal router using MADI connections to route 672
inputs and 672 outputs. It supports 56 channels at 48 kHz on each MADI port, or 28
channels per port at 96 kHz sample rate, and outputs any input MADI port to any output
port.
For System 5 and Max Air console installations, the SH612 provides the central point
from which to send and receive MADI signals. In these installations, each SH612 is
configured and installed by Euphonix, so you will not often need to modify most of its
parameters. The console has built-in routing control for the Studio Hub. For console
system hookup, see your console’s Technical Overview document in your manual bind-
er.
The SH612 can also operate as a standalone MADI router and as an ES Control capable
router for use with video routing systems. For these applications, all functions can be
controlled from the front panel, or through the standalone Route Manager application
or ES Control capable video router.
1.1.1 Features
The SH612’s sync sources, sample rates, and sample rate modes are listed in Table 1-1.

If necessary, the SH612 can distribute synchronization signals via four AES Sync
(AES/EBU), Word Clock, video, or MTC outputs to System 5/Max Air components.
The SH612 can generate or lock to Time code, or convert between different formats.
All standard time code rates are supported:
•Film: 24 fps
•PAL/SECAM: 25 fps
•Color NTSC: 29.97 (drop and non-drop)
•black and white video rate
•MIDI sequencers: 30 fps (drop and non-drop)
NOTE: Euphonix does not recommend using the SH612 for synchronization distribution.
System 5 and Max Air installations should use synchronization distribution amplifiers
with separate sync lines going to each component (no looping). Please see the syn-
chronization notes in your console’s install guide.
The SH612 routes digital audio via 12 MADI In and 12 MADI Out ports, each with the
capacity to receive or transmit up to 56 channels (up to 24-bit, 48 kHz). For sample
rates exceeding 50 kHz, each MADI channel can carry only 28 digital audio channels.
The MADI spec allows 64 channels of audio per port - however, Euphonix’ VariSpeed
technology occupies some of this bandwidth and thus each port supports 56 channels at
48 kHz.
1.1.2 Power On Sequence
Attach the provided IEC-compatible power cables to the two IEC inlets. Connect the
otherends towall outletswithappropriateplug adapters if necessary. The SH612 power
supply automatically adjusts to any voltage in the range 110–240 V.
We recommend powering up the SH612 before the digital devices to which it is con-
nected. The SH612 conducts a brief self-test routine upon power-up and displays the
firmware revision number. When the Main Menu is displayed, power up the attached
devices.
NOTE: For console installations, please refer to the power up routine for System 5/Max Air-
before attempting to power the DF64 Digital Frames and the Pilot Computers.

1.2 Modes of Operation
The SH612 has two main standalone modes of operation, with different firmware load-
ed for each. The firmware can be flashed in the field if the other mode is desired (typi-
cally it is decided on ordering and the firmware is uploaded at the factory). The two
modes are as follows:
Standard Operation
The SH612 acts as a standalone routing hub for all MADI sources/destinations. Using
the standalone MADI routing application, routes in and out of the Studio Hub can be
created, saved, and recalled as necessary. For more information, see page 19.
ES Control
With the ES Bus capable firmware (the second bootup screen shows ES-Control
Equipped Edition) the SH612 can be controlled by various video routing systems using
the standard ES Bus serial protocol. This negates the need for a separate audio router
for the video routing system, useful in situations with limited space and weight consid-
erations (OB trucks, small studios, etc). Integration for each video routing system is
documented in its own chapter - see the table of contents.
1.3 Setting the Control Port
For both modes, the SH612 must be set to read control messages from its female DE-9
Control port (RS-422 serial), instead of its IEEE-1394 ports (previously used for the
now-discontinued Euphonix R-1 recorder).
First disconnect all cables from the Control and IEEE-1394 ports (the unit does not al-
low Control port settings modifications with cables connected, to avoid accidental
changes). Then proceed as follows:
1. Power on the SH612 and press Select once to enter the Main Menu.
If the SH612 does not display its Main Menu, press the Escape key several
times until the status display is shown, then press Select again.
2. Turn the SpinKnob to highlight Utility Menu and press Select.
3. Turn the SpinKnob to highlight Control Port and press Select.
4. Check that the LCD displays Control Port = RS422 at the top. It not, turn the
SpinKnob to highlight RS422 (at bottom of LCD) and press Select.
5. Press Escape twice to show status again.
6. If you changed the setting, reboot the SH612 to implement the control port
change.
7. Reconnect the control cables.
