2 Mixing Audio For HD Mixing Audio for HD With new HD standards currently being adopted by stations throughout the world, the audience demands higher quality audio and, in many cases, surround sound. Audio operators also have to handle increasingly complex productions with ease. From news to sports to production, in the studio or on the road, Euphonix has a range of flexible and modular digital audio mixing solutions, from 32 to over 400 channels, that can be tailored to exactly meet any facility s requirements. Updates for Broadcast Euphonix System 5 and Max Air digital audio mixing systems have undergone a series of major evolutionary changes over recent years including updated control surfaces, the addition of the new DSP SuperCore with 100% redundancy, and the option of modular converters to allow for a wider variety of I/O options. Two models are available for different applications and budgets. Both use the same DSP SuperCore, router and range of converters and share many of the same features. What sets them apart is the control surface. System 5-B The most advanced digital broadcast mixing system available. It is designed for audio professionals who demand the best. With 8 knobs per channel and TFT displays for metering, routing and parameter display, System 5 is built for the ultimate in operational flexibility and visual feedback. Two new options are now available which greatly enhance the consoles operation and interface to the outside world... NEW Fiber Stagebox Solution Up to 56 mic preamps per Stagebox Multiple Stageboxes can connect to a Local-Side Interface Redundant over fiber and LAN over fiber Modular for custom configurations Accepts all I/O cards from the Euphonix Modular Converters 2nd Stagebox for local analog or /EBU PA splits Ethernet mic preamp control from System 5-B & Max Air strips Max Air A more compact control surface with 4 knobs per channel and a central touch-screen interface making it very easy to learn and use. Max Air is ideal for one operator to handle everything from on-air news to production and outside broadcasts. NEW Ross OverDrive Integration Audio-follow-video from Ross Synergy Series Production Switchers Control of console faders, on/off switches, pan and PFL Can be enabled/disabled locally for seamless transition from audio-follow-video to manual operation Playlist software allowing for fully automated productions Optional software upgrade requires no additional hardware

3 System Buses System Architecture System Architecture Sources & Destinations The total number of sources & destinations available increases with each SP662 DSP SuperCore card added to the system. Each card includes 4 (256) inputs and outputs. A typical 3 card system with 12 inputs and outputs, each stream capable of up to 64 channels of digital audio, will have 768 sources and destinations. Channels Sources are routed to the console s channels using PatchNet software. From 32 to over 400 channels are available depending on number of SP662 DSP SuperCore cards. Each channel has: 2 inputs, that may be fed from analog or digital sources. Either A, B or A + B may be selected to feed the channel.

8 S5 Fusion Control Surface S5 Fusion Control Surface Digital Audio Mixing System Package with DAW Control. For broadcasters, S5 Fusion provides a lower cost digital mixing package perfectly suited to on-air and TV production work. Derived from the best-selling System 5 series, S5 Fusion is a complete professional mixing system that provides a fusion of Euphonix new processing DSP engine with EuCon Hybrid allowing simultaneous control of external DAWs. 8 Color Coded Knobs per Channel High Resolution 10x768 TFT Displays EQ, Dynamics and Pan Graphs Central Assign Channel Strip Master Multi-Format Bus & CR Meters emix File Management Software Modular frame available in several sizes S5 Fusion has all the main features of the System 5-B/BP but without dual power supplies, without a dedicated mix minus bus, and without the 100% redundant DSP, I/O and router. DSP channel count and aux/group bus numbers are limited because of the smaller back end. As a result the system is a much lower cost solution where high quality and ease of use are critical but where budgetary constraints prevent inclusion of the redundancy features found in our dedicated on-air System 5-B/BP systems. Clean feeds & mix-minus can be built using the aux send buses check out the S5 Fusion package info opposite to see the numbers of buses available. 100mm Moving Faders with h i g h - r e s o l u t i o n stereo LED fader meters Fast Access Buttons for I n p u t, E Q, D y n a m i c s, Filters, Aux, Buses and Pan Twin Source Designation Display - SWAP function allows individual or global swap to a 2nd layer CM408T 8-Fader Each strip has a fader, 8 knobs & knob function s w i t c h e s p l u s h i g h resolution TFT screen CM401T Master Assignable Channel Strip, Monitors, Comms, Bus Masters, Main Menu Panel Two Joysticks for surround sound paning, assignable to any channel or group SC264D Studio Computer The S5 Fusion back end DSP, I/O and broadcast router is all contained within the SC264D Studio Computer for a lightweight and compact solution.

12 PatchNet & Router Integration PatchNet Router Integration PatchNet Routing The router in the DSP SuperCore is controlled by the PatchNet application which is simple to use and a very powerful digital audio patching system. PatchNet appears on an external screen with System 5 and on the central touch-screen with Max Air. Each of the source and destination audio streams in the DSP SuperCore can be labelled, for example Stage 1 Mics, and each audio source within a stream may also be individually labelled, for example Mic 1. All console inputs and outputs, for example Channel 1 A Input, also appear in PatchNet. PatchNet is faster, easier and more flexible than an analog patchbay. Setups can be saved and recalled for each show, including a basic setup which includes all source and destination designations, as a starting point for new shows. System 5 PatchNet Screen showing console ins and outs SH6 StudioHub Router The Euphonix StudioHub, 2RU x router can be added to the system, taking parallel feeds of all console sources and destinations for distribution throughout the facility. StudioHub has been designed to communicate with most router control systems that utilize the ES-Switch protocol including Harris - Leitch, Nvision, Pro-bel, QuStream, Sony, Thompson-Grass Valley and Utah Scientific. In some applications, this replaces the traditional house router audio layer while satisfying the demands of redundancy for on-air operation. The integration also simplifies patching, as the audio operator will no longer be required to patch console output buses to the destinations. Console output buses such as main program, aux feeds, and IFB s automatically appear as sources on the router. Additionally, engineering then has full control of all audio sources from any router control panel, which means no more crowding the audio room during setup and troubleshooting for shows.

13 Other Features Ross OverDrive Surround Monitoring Euphonix now features integration with the Ross OverDrive Production Control System available in their Synergy Series Production Switchers. OverDrive offers centralized control of many studio devices including servers, routers, and robotic cameras, as well as the audio console. The system s RundownControl playlist software allows for fully automated productions. Euphonix integration is available in all latest release System 5-B, System 5-BP and Max Air consoles. This optional software upgrade requires no additional hardware and enables external control of all channel faders, on/off switches, pans, and PFL. The feature can be enabled or disabled locally on the fly to allow seamless transitions between audio-follow-video functionaity and manual operation. The centralized control offered by OverDrive gives the ability to execute a more consistent, sophisticated production on the air without increasing staffing levels. Both systems include a professional surround sound monitor matrix, the same surround facility used to dub Academy Award winning feature films. Source selection is made from dedicated controls and is very intuitive to operate as the matrix intelligently switches feeds in their correct format to the appropriate speakers. All formats up to 7.1 are supported. Matrix includes Main CR, Alt 1 & 2, 4 SLS speaker feeds, 32 External Monitor Playback Inputs, Bus outputs and returns, and Aux sends. Multi-Format Control & Spill Each strip on the System 5 and Max Air can control a single source, a 5.1 or stereo formated source, or groups such as a 5.1 network feed. These sources may be controlled on a single Multiformat Master fader with underlying EQ and dynamics processing linked to all the 6 elements. A Euphonix invention; the Multiformat Master, or Group may be SPILLED onto the surface at the push of a button, which allows the underlying elements to be adjusted separately as needed. Externals Stem Mix Stems Stem Rtn Monitor Selector Aux Sends CR Monitors 8 Out (max 7.1) Main 8 Out (max 7.1) Alt 1 5 Out (max 5.1) Alt 2 Stereo Mon A 8 Out (max 7.1) Mon B Stereo Mon C Stereo Mon D Stereo Events System and GPI Both Max Air and System 5 feature an Event System as standard. The Event System allows the control surface to interface with other equipment in the studio and for audio-follow video. Events can be surface parameters (i.e., channel on, fader position, etc.) or external inputs/outputs via the GP132 (General Purpose Interface). Multiple events may be combined for custom combinations. N-1 Mix-Minus Bus Both System 5 and Max Air include a dedicated N-1 mix-minus bus. The Bus button for each strip includes that channel onto the mix-minus bus. A Mix-Minus button phase inverts the signal on the strip, adds it to the mix-minus bus, and routes the resultant N-1 feed to the channel s N-1 dedicated output. Layouts The position of sources on the console surface can be saved and recalled as Layouts. The operator can bring critical sources within easy reach and change Layouts at the push of a button between show segments making it easy to manage hundreds of sources on a smaller surface. Layouts take the stress out of mixing complex shows. SnapShots Console parameters such as a channel s complete settings or an element like an EQ s parameters may be saved to a SnapShot. This is very useful for saving different versions of an EQ, for example. SnapShots and Layouts may be named, saved and modified. The operator can also select what is to be included in a Layout or SnapShot.
