Information IMPORTANT INFORMATION After Sales Modifications Please be aware that any modifications other than those made or approved by Calrec Audio Limited or their agents, may invalidate the console’s warranty. This includes changes to cabling provided by Calrec and variations to the recommended installation as detailed in Calrec documentation. Modifications to this equipment by any party other than Calrec Audio Limited may invalidate EMC and safety features designed into this equipment. Calrec Audio Limited can not be liable for any legal proceedings or problems that may arise relating to such modifications. If in doubt, please contact Calrec Audio Limited for guidance prior to commencing any modification work. Installation In many installations the AC power connectors will not be readily accessible, effectively making the equipment permanently connected. The installation should be carried out in accordance with all applicable installation rules and regulations. Service Personnel The AC power disconnect devices are the 2 x IEC (IEC60320-1 C13/C14) couplers located at the rear of each unit. WARNING: The apparatus has a dual power system. It is essential that BOTH AC power IEC couplers are disconnected to prevent exposure to hazardous voltage within the unit. Third Party Equipment Integrating third party equipment into a Calrec system may compromise the product's ability to comply with the radiated emission limits set in the EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) standard EN55022. Calrec Audio Limited can not be responsible for any non-conformities due to use of third party equipment. If in doubt, please contact Calrec Audio Limited for guidance prior to integrating any third party equipment. ESD (Static) Handling Procedures In its completed form, this equipment has been designed to have a high level of immunity to static discharges. However, when handling individual boards and modules, many highly static sensitive parts are exposed. In order to protect these devices from damage and to protect your warranty, please observe static handling procedures, for example, use an appropriately grounded anti-static wrist band. Calrec will supply an electrostatic cord and wrist strap with all of its digital products. All modules and cards should be returned to Calrec Audio Limited in anti-static wrapping. Calrec Audio Limited can supply these items upon request, should you require assistance. This applies particularly to digital products due to the types of devices and very small geometries used in their fabrication, analogue parts can however still be affected. RoHS Legislation In order to comply with European RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) legislation, Calrec PCB and cable assemblies are produced with lead-free (tin/copper/silver) solder instead of tin/ lead solder. See Figure 1. In the unlikely event of a customer having to carry out any re-soldering on Apollo, Artemis or Hydra2 hardware, it is imperative that lead-free solder is used; contaminating lead-free solder with leaded solder is likely to have an adverse effect on the long-term reliability of the product. Circuit boards assembled with lead-free solder can be identified (in accordance with IPC/JEDEC standards) by a small oval logo (see Figure 2) on the top-side of the circuit board near the PCB reference number (8xx-xxx). The same logo is used on the connector hoods of soldered cable assemblies. If in doubt, please check with a Calrec customer support engineer before carrying out any form of re-soldering. ISO 9001 and RAB Registered Calrec Audio Ltd has been issued the ISO9001: 2008 standard by the Governing Board of ISOQAR. The award, for both UKAS (Figure 3) and RAB (Figure 4) registration, is the most comprehensive of the ISO9000 international standards. Granted in recognition of excellence across design, development, manufacture and after- sales support, the certification follows a rigorous and thorough review of Calrec’s internal and external communication and business procedures.

Control Surface SURFACE DIMENSIONS AND ASSEMBLY The Artemis control surface can be customised in terms of width and fader count, and can be provided with a number of stand and trim options. Desk-top mounting The control surface can be supplied with no floor stand, or if supplied, the floor stand can be removed allow for desk-top mounting, as shown in Figure 1. Floor stand options Several floor stand types are available. The standard 'Studio' type, as shown in Figure 2 has adjustable feet for levelling. The 'OB' version, shown in Figure 3 allows for the stand to be bolted to the floor, typically for use in mobile or outside broadcast units. Note the OB version is 7.8mm [0.31'] taller than the Studio version. Both the Studio and OB style are also available with a reduced height, sitting the console 40mm [1.57'] lower than the standard versions.

Note that the OB stands are slightly taller than their studio equivalents, sitting the control surface 7.8mm [0.31'] higher. 75.8 [2.98”] FIGURE 4 - BOLT-DOWN OB STAND, FIXING HOLES

Control Surface Reduced height stands Both the OB and studio stands are available in reduced height versions, sitting the control surface 40mm [1.57'] lower than their standard height equivalents, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. Surface sizes Artemis surface sizes are stated in the number of faders they can contain. A number of chassis sections are fitted together to provide a control surface of a suitable width to contain the number of faders required, or to fit the physical space available. Often chassis' are ordered to be larger than is required at the time to allow for a future increase in the quantity of faders. Chassis sections come in a variety of widths and are defined by the number of control panels that they can contain across their width. Chassis sections currently available are '2', '2.5' & '3.5' A standard Artemis layout consists of a number of fader panels and a monitor panel. The standard fader panel is 260mm [10.24'] wide and is fitted with eight faders across its width. The monitor panel is 200mm [7.87'] wide and is loosely termed as 'half-width' Therefore, for example, a 3.5 section can be fitted with 3 x fader panels and 1 x 'half-width' or '.5' monitor panel. Each frame section is as wide as the modules it can contain, plus a 3mm [0.118'] bulkhead at each end. Once assembled, the overall chassis is fitted with a side-trim at each end. The standard side-trim is 18mm, adding 36mm [1.42'] to the overall width. Standard Artemis consoles are supplied with a PC monitor screen and keyboard tray which can be fitted on the left or right FIGURE 5 - 40MM REDUCED HEIGHT STUDIO STAND FIGURE 6 - 40MM REDUCED HEIGHT BOLT-DOWN OB STAND 660.0 [25.98”] 77.7 [3.06”] 119.3 [4.70”] 526.0 [20.71”] 1035.0 [40.75”] 570.5 [22.46”] 600.0 [23.62”] 693.0 [27.28”] 719.0 [28.31”] 578.3 [22.77”] 533.8 [21.02”] 660.0 [25.98”] 1042.8 [41.06”] 607.8 [23.99”] 700.8 [27.59”] 726.8 [28.61”] 119.3 [4.70”] 77.7 [3.06”]

If required, a second PC monitor/monitor mount (and / or keyboard tray) can be fitted at the other end of the chassis. PC monitor mounts attach to the side of the chassis, outside the side trims, increasing the overall width again by a further 45mm [1.77'] per monitor mount fitted.. Consoles can also be supplied without any PC monitor mounts, minimising the surface width but requiring the installation provides a convenient location to display the main application for the audio operator. Where surface width is critical, optional narrower 5mm side trims (10mm [0.39'] per pair) can be fitted in place of the standard 18mm (36mm [1.42']) trims.

Control Surface Access to surface connections The data connections from the Artemis processing core to the control surface are made through a small cut-out on the rear cover of the control surface located near the IEC AC input connectors. Two fibres or Cat5e cables need to be routed through the cut-out to connect to the Surface Switches inside the control surface. A rear interface panel provides power connections on three IEC's along with a connection point for earthing the chassis. Audio and data connections are also provided for interfacing to audio driven devices along with ancillary data connections. The format of the interface plate may vary depending on the optional hardware fitted within the surface. Connector and pin-out information is provided in the Console Connection section of this document. Access to internal surface components Removing up-stand meter panels and control surface panels gives open access to the Surface Switches and other internal components. Some early production models are fitted with hinged rear covers that allow access from the back of the control surface. Non-hinged rear covers can be removed, however, care needs to be taken to support the weight of internal components mounted on the inside of the rear covers and the cabling to them..

15 FIGURE 1 - STAND MOUNTING POINTS FLOOR STAND REMOVAL If the control surface is supplied with a floor stand, it can be removed if required to reduce the overall size and weight aiding installation logistics or for where desk-top mounting is preferred. The floor stand is attached to the control surface by eight bolts as highlighted in the drawing to the right. With the fixing bolts removed, as long as the cross beam between the stand legs is fitted, the stand will be stable, however care needs to be taken whilst the surface is not fixed to the stand. If the cross beam is not fitted and the stand not attached to the surface, it will be very unstable. It is not recommended to be working under the control surface unless it is fixed in place. When re-attaching the stand, ensure the cross beam is fitted to provide stability. Take care to align the fixings to avoid cross-threading the bolts. The surface MUST be correctly fastened to the stand to prevent possible equipment damage or personal injury.

Control Surface SURFACE COMPONENTS There are a range of components within the surface. This section explains how these components are connected, receive power and communicate with each another. POE (Power Over Ethernet) switch Control panels in the surface have a single connection that carries all data and power via an RJ45 connector from a POE switch. The number of POE switches fitted in a control surface is determined by the number of panels fitted. Each POE switch can connect to up to six control panels. POE switches are mounted to the inside of the rear cover and are accessible by removing control and up-stand meter panels, or by removing the rear covers as shown in the Surface Dimensions and Assembly section of this document. Each POE switch has two AC mains inputs and two PSU's to provide internal and external power redundancy. 'Power Good' LED's 1 & 2 indicate each power supply is receiving mains and active. A PSU failure or loss of a mains input will generate a System Status error message. Each POE switch has 16 RJ45 connections, split into two groups - A & B. The A group of connectors are full POE - carrying both data and power. Status LED's are provided for these ports which should display a steady, regular flashing pattern once the system is booted and comms have been established. Connections P1 to P6 are used to connect to control panels. Control panels must be connected to the correct POE unit and port, as defined by the Surface Layout page in the main application. The Surface Layout page, and other utility software refers to these ports simply as POE ports 1 - 6. See Figure 1. When a surface reset command is received by a POE switch it momentarily cuts the power on ports P1 - P6. Control surface panels are 'reset' by cycling power to them. Each POE switch requires a connection to both the primary and secondary Surface Switches. POE connector S1 connects to the primary Surface Switch and connector S2 connects to the secondary Surface Switch. Although S1 & S2 are full POE, power and data, Surface Switches do not use the power from this feed. Ports SPR1 & SPR2 are uninterrupted during reset and are used to provide power to the Surface Switches, PC and any other items that may need to remain powered during reset, such as ancillary audio feeds. The SPR connections also contain the reset lines from the up-stand reset panel for the surface, control and DSP which the active Surface Switch acts upon accordingly. All other hardware, such as the PC will ignore the reset lines in the SPR feed. The B group of connectors do not pass data. Ports AP1 - AP4 are ancillary power, used to power 'non-intelligent' units with no control processor or data connection, such as moving coil meters. AP connections drop power during surface reset. Artemis up-stand TFT panels do not have a direct data connection from a POE. They have a connection to a fader panel which carries out the processing and passes on the data to the display. Due to the size of Artemis up-stand TFT's, the fader panel cannot power them and therefore they require an additional connection, from a POE AP port for power only. See Figure 2.

P1-P6 Panel connections - data & power FIGURE 2 - POE TO PANEL CONNECTIONS

Control Surface POE Reset connections The two ports labelled RST are used to pass hard reset lines between the POE's. The reset lines originate from the up-stand reset panel and are wired to the 'Reset and Meter' connector on the monitor panel via a D25 cable. This cable's pin-out is shown in Figure 3. The monitor panel's 'Reset' RJ45 connector outputs the reset signals and is wired to a POE RST port, the other RST port is used to pass the signals on to the next POE and so on, daisy-chaining the signal through all the POE switches. It does not matter which RST is used for 'in' & 'out' or in what order the POE's are connected. These are hard logic lines rather than data, ensuring reset commands can be passed throughout the system irrespective of the functioning state of each piece of hardware.

DSP and control resets are passed on to the processing core via the active Surface Switch. All Calrec fitted Cat5e cables are wired 'straight-through' or 'pin to pin' Panel cables and I/O to Router cables can be either straight-through or cross-over, however POE RST and SPR cables MUST be wired straight-through.

19 Surface Switches The Surface Switch is the interface between the control surface and the processing core. To provide redundancy, two Surface switches are fitted, primary and secondary. The system will always attempt to boot and run on the primary, however if there is a problem with the primary or its connections, the secondary will automatically take over. Like POE's, the Surface Switches are mounted to the inside of the rear cover, usually in the same section as the IEC inlets. Access is gained by removing control panels or the rear cover as shown in the surface dimensions section of this document. When viewed from the front, the primary Surface Switch is always the left hand unit. See Figure 5. To communicate with all the control panels and PC, each Surface Switch requires a direct connection to each POE switch. POE switches MUST be connected to specific ports in the correct order: POE #1 connects to surface switch port PS1, POE#2 to PS2, POE #3 to PS3 etc. POE's are numbered by location from left to right across the console. Figure 6 shows the correct data connections for a 3 x POE system. On each POE, port S1 connects to the primary Surface switch, port S2 to the secondary. LEDs 1 - 6 show activity on these ports and should display a regular flashing pattern once booted and comms established. Although the POE sends power down these lines, the Surface Switches do not use it. Any POE SPR ports can be used to feed Surface Switch PR1/PR2 ports to power the Surface Switch as well as passing on the reset signals. LEDs I/P1 and I/P2 indicate if power is present on these ports. Ports A & B are SFP slots Port A is used to interface with the Control Processor in the processing core, port B is currently unused. The primary Surface Switch should connect to the primary Control Processor's 'Surface 1' connector (MAC7 for the 8U or older 4U Control Processor design) . The secondary Surface Switch should connect to 'Surface 1' on the secondary Control Processor. These connections are NOT supplied by Calrec and need to be made by the installer. Please see the Surface to Core Connection section of this document for more details.

Control Surface Artemis control surfaces have 3 x IEC AC mains inputs requiring 100–240V AC. The AC power inlets are wired internally to three distribution blocks mounted to the base of the inside of the control surface. The POE switches have dual power supplies for redundancy and take two AC inputs, one from each of the first two mains sources.

The third IEC input and distribution block is used to power ancillary or third party items with a single mains input, such as DK/RTW meters and PC monitors. To ensure all equipment is powered and redundancy is applied where available, all three IEC inputs to the control surface need to be fed with 100–240V AC. If only one of the first two inputs is fed, System Status error messages will be generated by each POE indicating they are not receiving power on both inputs. It is recommended that these two mains inputs are fed from two separate AC supplies where possible to provide redundancy against external power failure.

21 The surface switches and configuration PC take DC power via RJ45 connectors. These should be fed from SPR connections on POE switches. These connections are for power only—no data is carried over the POE SPR connections. SPR connections do not drop power during surface reset. The power input connectors on the surface switches are labelled PR1 and PR2. Only one input needs to be connected for full functionality and redundancy. If power to the primary surface switch is lost, or the switch fails, data is automatically routed via the secondary Surface Switch. Therefore the two surface switches should be powered from two different POE units to maintain overall console functionality in the event of a failure of a POE feeding power. The PC is powered via a DC convertor unit. This unit has two power inputs on RJ45s for the PC. Only one of these is required for operation, the second is provided for power redundancy. These connections should be fed from two different POE's. SPR connections on POE's should be used so the PC power is maintained during surface reset. The PC power convertor outputs 12V DC via a 9 way D-type connector. This wires via a momentary switch in the keyboard tray to the PC's DC input jack. The switch acts as a PC reset by interrupting the power. The PC has 2 DC input jack sockets, either can be used. Only one DC connection to the PC itself is provided as the redundancy is catered for by the power convertor unit. The PC power convertor box also contains the headphone driver circuitry and has a 3rd RJ45 power input for this, situated in the bottom row of connectors. The headphone driver can be powered from an SPR port or an AP depending on whether or not power needs to be maintained during surface reset. SURFACE POWER - DC Control panels take power and data on the same RJ45 connection and therefore need to be connected from a P1–P6 POE port.

Control Surface Cat5e network cabling inside the control surface is ID coded at both ends with a number of cable markers. One marker is used on each to ID the function of the cable by colour, matching the colour key used for the connector labelling on the POE switch - for example the data connection to the primary surface switch has a green marker and the one to the secondary has a yellow one. Depending on the function of the cable, some have a prefix and/or suffix to the function marker. Prefixes are used to identify the control surface section the related POE is fitted in. Viewing the console from left to right, the first frame section is 'A', second is 'B', third is 'C' etc. Where there is more than one POE switch fitted in a section, two letters are used to prefix the label, for example 'AA' & 'AB' where AA is the first POE in the first section and AB is the second POE in the first section. Panel connection cables use a suffix to ID the POE port. For example, if a cable is labelled 'A11'—The prefix 'A' refers to the POE switch in section 1. The next character '1' is a colour marker (brown) to identify the cable as a panel connection, and the last character, or suffix - '1' refers to port P1. Blue SPR connections use a suffix to identify the device being powered by the POE switch. The table to the right lists the functions with prefix and suffix by colour ID. Figures 2 & 3 give examples of the cable labels that would be used for the first POE's A & B group of ports.

23 A high quality, low power fanless PC is mounted to the baseplate inside the control surface. The design of the PC used ensures reliability alongside minimal heat and acoustic noise. The PC is supplied as standard with a traditional magnetic hard drive (HDD) or as an option can be supplied with a solid state drive (SSD). SSDs have no moving parts and are therefore quieter and more shock-resistant than traditional HDDs. The system PC is not relied upon - it does not carry out any audio or control processing. The control surface, control and audio processors all boot and are fully functional irrespective of whether the PC is on or connected. The PC is used as an interface, providing a comprehensive GUI for control as well as being used for configuration and diagnostics. The PC monitor and keyboard tray are fitted at the right hand side of the control surface as standard. As an option, consoles can be ordered with keyboard and monitor at the left side of the surface. The keyboard tray slides out from SYSTEM PC underneath the fader bed. If required, 2 PC monitors and / or keyboard trays can be fitted, one at each end of the control surface. The second set would typically be used as a convenient location for the operator to display / control other, non-Calrec PC's. Consoles can also be supplied without the monitor mount and / or keyboard tray, this is usually done when space is restrictive. In such a case, the installer should provide a suitable alternative to view and control the system PC. PC power and reset The PC should start up automatically when the control surface is powered. The Windows shutdown procedure should be followed whenever possible before removing power to the control surface. A reset switch for the PC is located at the back of the keyboard tray. The power supply for the PC is located in the adjacent unit which also contains the headphone drivers. The PC power supply inputs POE DC voltage via RJ45s and outputs 12V DC on a 9 pin D-type connector. Two input connections provide redundancy against power loss and should be fed from two different POE switches, using their SPR feeds to maintain power to the PC during surface reset. The 9 pin connector also contains a reset line for the PC which wires out to a switch in the back of the keyboard tray. The power input to the PC itself is via a DC jack socket. System network data connection The PC connects to the system in the same way as a control panel. The RJ45 Ethernet port on the PC itself is its data connection to the system and can connect to any available POE switch port P1–P6. Note that P1–P6 ports are full POE and contain power. The PC's supplied do not take power from this connection, however they are designed to be protected from damage by POE voltage. Connecting other PC's or equipment to a POE switch may damage them. The Ethernet-USB adaptors supplied with the console (as shown in Figure 2) are POE protected and can be used to connect a replacement or backup PC via the backup / replacements USB port if required. One of these adaptors is supplied loose along with the miscellaneous items such as the backup discs and hex screwdrivers.

Control Surface As an option, the console can be supplied with an additional accessible USB port, wired internally via an adaptor to a POE panel port, allowing for a backup PC to be connected quickly. LAN connection An RJ45 socket on the rear interface panel labelled 'PC I/F' provides a second network connection to the PC. Internally, this wires via a USB-Ethernet adaptor which is fitted into a USB port on the PC. If connecting to a LAN or the internet, the security / firewall settings can be selected per connection. Security / firewall settings should NOT be changed for the main system network port - 'CalrecDeskConnection'. Providing an internet connection to the PC allows Calrec engineers access for diagnostics by agreement using a secure connection. Keyboard and mouse As standard, a keyboard with trackball (or alternatively trackpad) is located in the pull-out keyboard tray under the fader bed. The keyboard has two colour coded PS2 connectors which fit directly in the PS2 ports on the PC. UK and US keyboard layouts are available. Touchscreen monitor The PC monitor is AC mains powered (100-240V) by a single IEC input, wired via the ancillary AC input to the control surface. The graphics output from the PC to the monitor is a direct VGA connection. Touch data from the monitor is connected by USB. To correctly display all the Calrec PC applications, a minimum resolution of 1280 x 1024 is required. Using an alternative higher resolution monitor such as 1920 x 1080 will display the Calrec software correctly but the content will not scale up higher than the 1280x1024 monitor size it was designed for. Accessible PC USB port The USB port on the up-stand reset panel is connected internally to a PC USB port providing easy access for USB devices, for example for making backups of shows / user memories to a USB memory stick. Operating system Calrec system PC's are supplied with Microsoft Windows 7 Professional installed. Calrec software is currently tested using the Windows 7 and Windows XP Professional platforms and we cannot guarantee functionality using any other operating system. 3rd Party software Even though the PC is not required for operation of the system, Calrec does recommend that the PC is regarded as an integral control device for the system. It should not be used as a general purpose PC. If 3rd party software is installed on the PC, care must always be taken to ensure that it does not interfere with the normal performance of the PC. The installation of inappropriate software on the PC may invalidate the console warranty. Serial port The current specification PC has one external serial port. This is connected to the DK meter serial port when fitted to allow convenient access for DK configuration in the factory. Antivirus Protection Antivirus protection is not pre-installed on console and router core PCs as standard but if you wish to protect your PC you can install a package of your choice. Exceptions will need to be configured within the antivirus software to allow the following to communicate with the Calrec system: • C:\Calrec\WindowsService\ DeskPcWs.exe • C:\Calrec\ProgramUpdater\Calrec. ProgramUpdater.exe FIGURE 2 - USB TO ETHERNET

25 Any standard specification modern PC running Windows 7 or Windows XP Professional can be used as a backup or replacement to connect to the console and run the various Calrec applications. Connection by the PC's USB port, via the supplied USB-Ethernet adaptor into a spare POE switch P1–P6 port ensures the PC's network port is not damaged by POE power. Note, not all available USB-Ethernet adaptors have protection against POE power, please refer to the manufacturers specification if not using ones supplied by Calrec. Starting the Calrec Main Application on a second PC will disable it on the first PC. If using a laptop, or a different monitor screen to the one supplied, a minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 is required to display the Calrec software correctly. Currently, such pixel height is not widely supported by budget range laptops. Using an alternative higher resolution monitor such as 1920 x 1080 will display the Calrec software correctly but the content will not scale up higher than the 1280x1024 monitor size it was designed for. Calrec can supply pre-configured laptops and replacement PC's ready to work out of the box. The setup instructions on this page can be used to configure a non-Calrec supplied PC.

Processing Core – Beam / Shine CORE DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING The Artemis Shine/Beam processing core is an 8U 19' rack mount enclosure designed for installation in standard 19' equipment bays. Airflow The core is cooled by fan assisted convection. Air is drawn in from the front into the cable-tray and up through the base of the card frame. Fans mounted in the top of the core pull air through the card frame which then exits through vents across the top of the rear of the core. All fans are speed monitored and System Status error message are generated for any failures. To ensure air can flow through the card frame freely, the air vents at the rear of the core should be left clear and unobstructed. Also, the cable-tray should not be overfilled, leaving space at the base of the card-frame by using the cable-tidy clips in the cable tray. No clearance is required above or below the core for cooling. Acoustic Noise A fully populated core has been measured to produce <40dB acoustic noise (A-weighted at 1 metre from front). Support The weight at the rear of the core should be adequately supported to prevent stress on the front racking angles. This is particularly important when the units are mounted in mobile installations. Calrec will not accept liability for damage caused by insufficient support. Connections All connections, including power are made to the front of the core which is recessed from the racking angles to allow cable clearance within the bay. A cable tray in the base of the core allows for cables to be routed from the rear of the bay to the front of the core. Cable tidy SIDE PROFILE VIEW - DIMENSIONS & AIR FLOW 498mm [19.61”] 8 U 356mm [14.02”] 27mm [1.06”] Air exits through rear vent Air enters through the front of the cable-tray Cable entry 80mm [3.15”] Cable path clips in the cable tray keep cables at the base ensuring airflow into the cardframe is not restricted. When routing cables through the cable tray and up to front panel connectors, observe the minimum bend radii recommended by the cable manufacturers. This is especially important for fibres and high speed data conductors. CORE SPECIFICATIONS Take care also to 'dress' cables neatly so that they cause minimal restriction to the air flow. Please refer to the Hydra2 installation manual for detail regarding specific router connections. ED5708 Core Height 8U (356mm) Depth 498mm Width 19' Weight 17kg (max) Heat Dissipation 300W (max)

29 CARD TYPES & LAYOUT Card layout The Artemis Shine / Beam core has 10 module / card slots. A slot should only be fitted with a module of the correct type for the slot. Slots are labelled for their type across the top. Two of each type of processing card are fitted to provide comprehensive redundancy. The left hand card of each pair, labelled #1 is the primary / normally active card. The right hand of each pair, labelled #2 is the secondary, hot-spare card. A second pair of router cards can be fitted in the expansion slots if required to double the number of Hydra2 I/O ports available. Both PSU cards when fitted are active and share the load of the whole core. Only one PSU is required to power the core however we recommend that both are fitted and fed to provide redundancy. Reset, sync interface & fan status Across the top of the card frame are the resets and sync interface. Three buttons can individually reset the control, router and DSP cards within the core. A fourth button is the enable which must be pressed at the same time as any of the resets as a safety precaution. Be cautious if resetting the routers/expanders, other consoles on the same Hydra2 network may be using I/O connected to the routers in the core being reset. FRONT VIEW - FULLY POPULATED 8U ARTEMIS SHINE / BEAM CORE Air intake and cable-tray Cable-tidy clips

Processing Core – Beam / Shine 4 x BNC connectors provide sync inputs, allowing for redundancy and a range of formats. Two inputs are for SD / HD video sync signals, one for AES DARS and one for TTL Wordclock. The upper section of the core also contains LED indication to show the status of the fans fitted within. Failures are also reported by the console's System Status. Installing / removing cards To remove a module from the core, take hold of both top and bottom card handles, press both of the red latches and open the card handles outwards to lever the module away from the backplane connectors. The module can then be slid out of the core. Avoid touching any exposed parts of the circuit board unless observing ESD precautions. To install a module, line up the card edges with the card guides in the core slot and gently slide it in. Ensure the handles are in the open position and push the card POK MA RST NOK ST2 PRI MOK ST1 fully into the core whilst closing the card handles to lever the module into place. A click should be heard when the module is seated fully. Standard Status LED's Control, DSP and router cards have a standard set of front panel status LED's. Depress red latches Open card handles outwards to lever the module out. Close card handles inwards to lever the module into place • POK - Power OK, module is receiving power. • MA - Module active. Indicates which of the primary / secondary pair is actively in control. • PRI - Indicates if the module is fitted in a primary slot. • RST - Illuminates when the module receives a reset command. • MOK - Module OK. Indicates the module has booted and is running, either actively or as a hot-spare. • NOK - Neighbour OK. Indicates the presence and status of the alternate card of the same type. Neighbours are primary / secondary counterparts, rather than physically adjacent modules. • ST1 & ST2 are Calrec engineering status LED's, the function of which varies by card type and can be subject to change with software version.

31 Master Control processor Slots 4 & 5 are for control processor modules, slot 4 for the primary / normally active card, slot 5 for the secondary / hot- spare. The active Control Processor is the central processor in the system, handling all control parameters and directing data between control surface, DSP and router. At the top of the module are two SFP slots that can be fitted with copper or fibre SFP's for interfacing with the control surface. The left hand 'MAC7' SFP on the primary Control Processor connects to the primary surface switch, MAC7 on the secondary Control Processor connects to the secondary surface switch. MAC6 connectors are only used for very large control surfaces fitted with a second pair of surface switches, or to connect a sidecar containing its own pair of surface switches. If the core is configured as a Master Router core, RJ45 ports MAC 3, 4 & 5 allow for the connection of standalone (outside of a console) PC's to access the H20 network administrator GUI. USB ports, keyboard, mouse and VGA connections are for use only by, or under the guidance of Calrec engineers. As well as the standard status indicators, front panel LED's are also provided to show the status of other cards in the core: D0 for the primary DSP card; D1 for the secondary; R0 for the primary router; R1 for the secondary; E0 for the primary expansion card; and E1 for the secondary. The CF LED indicates write activity to the module's compact flash card and LOW BATT is a low battery warning for the module's BIOS. The Control Processor's ST1 & ST2 LED's indicate heartbeats from the module's two processing cores. MASTER CONTROL PROCESSOR DSP The primary, normally active DSP card fits in slot 3, the secondary, hot-spare in slot 6. DSP cards are not required in standalone router cores without a control surface. This audio processing module has no front panel connectors. All audio and data is passed to / from the Control Processor and router cards via the core backplane. As well as the standard status LEDs, LEDs D1–D8 indicate the status of the signal processing cores within the module. DSP POK MA PRI RST MOK NOK ST1 ST2 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 DSP MODULE

Processing Core – Beam / Shine ST1 ST2 ST3 ST4 ST5 ST6 AC IN USB POK ST0 PSU Power Supply Card slots 9 & 10 are for PSU modules. Both slots share the power load for the whole core. One PSU module is sufficient to power the whole core, two are fitted to provide redundancy. Each card has an IEC AC mains input connector, requiring 100–240V AC. Router / Expander The primary, normally active router card fits in slot 2, the secondary in slot 7. As an option, slots 1 and 8 can be fitted with additional router modules of the same type to double the number Hydra2 I/O ports in the core. The Artemis Shine / Beam router card has 16 SFP ports that can be fitted with copper or fibre SFP's to allow connection of Hydra2 I/O boxes and connections to other consoles' routers and standalone router cores.

Processing Core – Light CORE DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING SIDE PROFILE VIEW - DIMENSIONS AND AIR FLOW SIDE PROFILE VIEW - DIMENSIONS WITH REAR SUPPORTS FITTED OVERHEAD VIEW The Artemis Light processing core is a 4U 19' rack mount unit designed for installation into standard 19' equipment bays. Airflow The core is cooled by fan assisted convection. Air is drawn in through inlets at the base/front and exits via 3 fans mounted to the rear of the core. The speed of each fan is monitored and System Status error reports are generated for any failures. Air inlets and fans should be left clear and unobstructed to ensure air can flow through the card frame. No clearance is required above or below the core for cooling. Support The weight at the rear of the core should be adequately supported to prevent stress on the front racking angles. This is particularly important when the units are mounted in mobile installations. Calrec will not accept liability for damage caused by insufficient support. Calrec supply adjustable rear support rails with each Artemis light core that can be fitted during installation if required. The support rails can be fitted in different positions depending on the depth of the bay being used. Rear racking angles slide over the support rails so the depth can be adjusted to match the position of the rear core fixings in the equipment bay. Air drawn in through inlets at the base/front and exits via 3 rear-mounted fans

35 CARD TYPES & LAYOUT Connections All connections, including power are made to the front panels of the cards fitted within, which are recessed from the front of the core to allow cable clearance within the bay. Card layout The Artemis Light core has 9 module / card slots. A slot should only be fitted with a module of the correct type for the slot, as shown in the layout above. Labels indicating each slot's type are visible once a module is removed. The central module in the core is the reset and sync interface card. Two slots are provided for each type of processing card for redundancy. Slots to the left of the central reset card are for primary and normally active router, DSP and control processors. The slots to the right mirror this layout and are for the secondary or hot-spare processing modules. The first and last slots are for power supplies, a PSU in either slot can power a fully populated core. Two PSU's are fitted and the load shared to provide redundancy. FRONT VIEW - POPULATED CORE Installing / removing cards Modules are fixed in place by two captive front panel screws, one top and one bottom. To remove, unfasten the screws until they are loose then pull on the card handle. It is important to observe ESD precautions when handling any of the cards. Avoid touching the circuit board and use ESD bags or mats to put modules on.

Processing Core – Light Standard status LEDs • Active - all modules (apart from the PSU), indicate when the module is actively in control of the system. Modules in hot-spare mode, ready to take over in the event of a failure, do not have their active LED lit. • Module OK - indicates the module booted, and is running either actively or as a hot-spare. Control Processor Module Control Processors are located in slots 4 & 6 on either side of the reset & sync card. The left hand slot is for the primary, normally active card, the right hand slot for the secondary, hot-spare card. Two SFP slots at the top of the module can be fitted with copper or fibre SFPs and are the data connection point for the control surface. The 'Surface 1' port of the primary control processor connects to the primary surface switch within the control surface. 'Surface 1' on the secondary Control Processor card connects to the secondary surface switch. 'Surface 2' ports are only used for very large consoles with a second pair of surface switches, or for sidecars containing their own surface switches. Any of the 3 LAN ports can be used for CSCP mixer remote control. If the core is configured as a Master Router, a standalone (outside of a console) PC can be connected to any of the 3 LAN ports for accessing H20; the network administrator's user interface. LEDs are also provided to show the status of the primary and secondary DSP and Router cards. Disk Activity indicates write activity to the module's compact flash card. Switch OK and Software OK show the card processing status. Reset & sync interface card This module fits in the central, 5th card slot of the Artemis Light processing core. Three buttons can individually reset the control, router and DSP cards within the core. The bottom 'Reset Enable' button is a safety precaution which must be held whilst pressing any reset button. 4 x BNC connectors provide sync inputs, allowing for redundancy and a range of formats. Two inputs are for SD/HD video sync signals, one for AES DARS and one for TTL Wordclock. RESET & SYNC INTERFACE CARD CONTROL PROCESSOR MODULE

37 DSP The primary, normally active DSP card fits in slot 3, to the immediate left of the primary Control Processor. The secondary, hot-spare DSP card fits in slot 7, to the immediate right of the secondary Control Processor. This audio signal processing card has no front panel connections. All audio and data is passed to / from the Master Control and router cards via the core backplane. Bus Processor OK and Channel Processor OK indicate processing status within the module. Router Card slot 2 is for the primary / normally active router module, slot 8 is for the secondary / hot-spare router module. The Artemis Light router card has 8 SFP ports that can be fitted with copper or fibre SFP's to allow connection of Hydra2 I/O boxes and connections to other consoles or standalone Hydra2 router cores. A single RJ45 port labelled LAN allows for 3rd party equipment supporting the SW-P-08 or Ember protocols to interface for remote control. As well as the standard status LED's there are front panel indicators to show the active sync source and for activity on the RJ45 and SFP ports. Power supply Card slots 1 & 8 are for PSU modules. Both slots share the power load for the whole core. One card is sufficient to power a fully populated core, two are fitted to provide redundancy. Each card has an IEC AC mains input connector, requiring 100–240V AC. ROUTER MODULE DSP MODULE POWER SUPPLY MODULE

Processing Core – Light OBSOLETE CONTROL PROCESSOR MODULE Cores made pre-2015 have a slightly taller internal card slot. Pre-2015 cores cannot be fitted with cards designed for the new cores. Pre-2015 cores can be identified by having a plain metal finish on the front panel. Standard status LEDs • POK - Power OK, module is receiving power. • MA - Module Active. Indicates when the module is actively in control. • PRI - Indicates if the module is fitted in a primary slot. • RST - Illuminates when the module receives a reset command. • MOK - Module OK, indicates the module is running, either actively or as a hot-spare. • NOK - Neighbour OK, indicates the presence and status of the alternate card of the same type. Neighbours are primary / secondary counterparts rather than physically adjacent cards. • ST1 and ST2 are Calrec engineering status LED's, the function of which varies by card type and can be subject to change with software versions. Obsolete Control Processor Two SFP slots at the top of the module can be fitted with copper or fibre SFPs and are the data connection point for the control surface. The left hand 'MAC7' port of the left hand, primary control processor card connects to the primary surface switch within the control surface. MAC7 on the secondary Control processor card connects to the secondary surface switch. MAC6 ports are only used for very large console with a second pair of surface switches fitted, or for sidecars containing their own surface switches. If the core is configured as a Master Router, RJ45 port MAC5 should be used to connect standalone (outside of a console) PCs for accessing H20; the network administrator user interface. Ports MAC4 and MAC3 are for use by Calrec engineers only. As well as the standard status LEDs, LEDs are provided to show activity on the RJ45 and SFP ports. LEDs are also provided to show the heartbeat status of other cards within the core: D0 for the primary DSP; D1 for the secondary DSP; R0 for the primary router; and R1 for the secondary router. The CF LED indicates write activity to the module's compact flash card and LO BAT is a low battery warning for the module's BIOS. The Master Control module's ST1 & ST2 LEDs indicate the heartbeats from the modules two processing cores. PRE-2015 CORES

Air is drawn in through inlets on the front panels of the cards fitted in the core. Air exits via 9 fans mounted to the rear of the core, across the top. The speed of each fan is monitored and system status error reports are generated for any failures. Air inlets and fans should be left clear and unobstructed to ensure air can flow through the card frame. No clearance is required above or below the core for cooling. Support The weight at the rear of the core should be adequately supported to prevent stress on the front racking angles. This is particularly important when the units are mounted in mobile installations. Calrec will not accept liability for damage caused by insufficient support.. The rear of the core can be supported by side angles which are commonly available from equipment bay suppliers for such a purpose, or by the use of rear support rails. Calrec supply adjustable rear support rails with each Artemis light core that can be fitted during installation if required. The support rails can be fitted in two different positions depending on the depth of the bay being used. Rear racking angles slide over the support rails so the depth can be adjusted to match the position of the rear core fixings in the equipment bay. Adjustable rear core fixing

Connection Information SFP - OVERVIEW The connections between control surface and processing core, as well as all Hydra2 network connections, connections between I/O boxes and routers, and router-to-router connections between different cores, are made via SFP modules (Small Form-factor Pluggable). SFPs can be provided for RJ45 copper connections, as well as for singlemode or multimode fibre on LC connectors. This allows for each port’s connection type to be chosen depending on the distance of the run or to match the infrastructure present. SFPs can easily be changed on a port by port basis as and when required. The correct quantity of SFPs are supplied pre-fitted. The type of each connection - copper, singlemode fibre or multimode fibre, should be specified at the time of order to ensure the correct SFP types are supplied. Additional SFP modules can be ordered if required. If a system is to be connected to an existing Hydra2 network, please discuss this with your Calrec project leader, sales person or local distributor to ensure that SFPs are provided and ports provisioned for the additional router to router connections.

SFP slot orientation SFP modules plug into front panel slots on router and modular I/O controller cards, and rear panel slots on fixed format I/O boxes. The modules can be fitted or removed whilst the system is powered and without removing or opening any card or box cases. Note the orientation of the SFP modules, as shown in the illustrations on this page - modules fitted in even numbered router ports (left hand column) are fitted the opposite way around to those in the odd numbered router ports (right hand column). Likewise for fixed format I/O boxes, the primary SFP module is the opposite way around to the secondary SFP module. The modules are orientated so that the release catch for the RJ45 / LC connector plugs once inserted are on the outside edge. For modular I/O box controller cards, both SFP slots are orientated so that the release catch on the cable / fibre connector are on the right-hand side. SFP latching and extraction Calrec source SFP modules from various manufacturers. All types used conform to the same specification, however the latching mechanism on them can vary slightly. The standard copper SFP, and some fibre SFPs as shown in the photograph on the previous page have latch / extraction handles. On insertion, the handles should be set against the outer edge (the same side as the release catch on the RJ45 / LC connector plug that fits into the SFP) to lock it into place and prevent accidental removal if cables are pulled. To remove this style of SFP, remove the cable / fibre and slide the handle (copper) or lift the handle out (fibre) to the inside edge position as shown in the diagram below. The module can then be removed by pulling on the handle.

43 Loose SFP storage SFP modules are small, yet reasonably expensive devices. When removing or changing SFPs, take care to keep track of them and store loose modules in a clean, dry, and anti-static environment. Fibre SFPs should always have a dust cover fitted into their optical transceiver end when no fibre is connected to them. Calrec will not be liable for lost or missing SFP modules, or damage due to poor storage. Other SFPs automatically latch into place when they are inserted fully and have a release button on their inside edge. The fibre SFPs shown in the orientation diagrams and below are of this type and have blue release buttons. To remove, depress the button using a small flat blade screwdriver or similar tool. The SFP module will then be free to be removed. SFP slot covers Dust covers should be fitted to all SFP slots that do not have SFP modules fitted in them in order to maintain plug-in connection reliability. 1 2 1 2 SFPS WITH HANDLES - LATCHED • Both SFPs shown are locked in place - Latch / extraction handles in outer position (or 'down' position for fibre). SFPS WITH HANDLES - UNLATCHED • Both SFPs free to remove - Latch / extraction handles in inner (or 'Lifted' for fibre) position. AUTO-LATCHING SFP • Depress the release button to remove. SFP design varies depending on the manufacturer, please ensure that SFPs are correctly latched in place after fitting them. In the event that a connection is not automatically established after hot- plugging an SFP, please reset the unit the SFP is plugged in to.

Connection Information Hydra 2 network connections and control surface to processing core connections made via copper SFP modules require shielded F/UTP Category 5e or Category 6 cables with shielded RJ45 mating connectors. Calrec do not supply these cables as it is often preferable to terminate them after they have been run through cable ducting to avoid damaging the terminations, and to be able to cut them to the precise length required. Shielded cables and connectors Shielded cabling and connectors are required in order to meet EMC (Electro- magnetic compatibility) standards to comply with the radiated emission limits set in the standard EN55022, as well as to guarantee performance in electrically noisy environments. F/UTP Cat5e/Cat6 cable has an overall foil shield around the conductor cores. Shielded RJ45 connector plugs have a metallic shield around them which should be clamped / bonded to the shield within the cable. The shield on the connector mates with the chassis of the RJ45 socket that it is plugged into, providing an earth to the cable shield. The method of attaching the connector shield to the cable shield can vary. Please refer to the connector manufacturer’s information for further guidance. COPPER SFP CONNECTIVITY SHIELDED RJ45 CONNECTOR Conductive connector mating screen clamped / bonded to cable shield Maximum cable length The maximum length of Cat5e/Cat6 cables is 90m / 295ft. This is the absolute maximum and needs to include any patch points and cables that may be in the path. Hydra2 cable runs can NOT be extended using Ethernet switches, hubs or repeaters. If a run between Hydra2 hardware exceeds the maximum recommended distance for copper cabling, fibre and optical SFPs should be used instead. Cable routing considerations The layout and twist rate of the data cores within Cat5e/Cat6 cables are integral to their performance at high speed over distance. Poor installation practise can seriously impact upon this. The following are general good rules of practise, please refer to the cable manufacturer’s information for comprehensive installation rules. When running Cat5e / Cat6 network cabling, it is important to avoid kinking the cable. Kinks can seriously impair performance. Cable manufacturers advise that kinked cables should be discarded and replaced as the damage caused cannot be addressed simply by straightening the outer appearance. Cables should not be bent in tight angles, this too can seriously impair performance. Please refer to the cable manufacturer’s specification on minimum bend radii. Excessive pulling force when routing cables can deform the twist rate of the cable cores, causing irreparable damage. Cable manufacturers specify a maximum pulling tension. Cable-ties should not be over-tightened as this also deforms the internal structure of the cable. Cable ties should be tight enough only to support the cable weight Crimp points Cable outer jacket Strain relief STRAIN RELIEVED RJ45 TERMINATION but not so tight as to cause any visible deformation to the cable’s outer jacket. Large, heavy bundles of cables can be difficult to support using cable-ties without causing damage. 'Velcro' style hook-and-loop cable straps can be a good alternative to plastic cable-ties. Whilst neatly bundled parallel cable runs are tidy and aesthetically pleasing, they decrease cross-talk immunity which can impact on performance. Avoid neat bundling of network cables over any kind of distance - the majority of a cables length is normally unseen, running under floor or through ducting where they should be loosely laid rather than neatly bundled. Termination - strain relief Poor termination and lack of strain relief is one of the most common causes of high speed network cable problems. To properly strain relief the data cores, the outer jacket of the cable should be inserted into the RJ45 housing and held in place once crimped by the strain-relief point, as shown in the following diagram. This also maintains the integrity of the twist rate and shield into the termination, • Note, this is a simplified diagram that does not include the shield.

45 Testing / certification Calrec strongly recommend that all Hydra2 network cabling is properly tested or certified prior to on-site commissioning of the system. Simple test devices that only check the pin-out of the terminations are not sufficient to prove the performance and reliability of high speed data cabling. Certification level test equipment can give a simple pass / fail response but in doing so will test various important factors as well as pin-out. Certification type tests include determining cable length, measuring skew (timing differences between pairings due to variations in length caused by intentional differences in twist rate), measuring for loss, signal to noise ratio and BERT error checking on data. Cables that fail certification tests or fail to perform, may appear to function fine and therefore the full length of the cable conforms to its’ intended specification. Slide on outer boots offer additional strain-relief protection but are not sufficient on their own. In order to be able to crimp the cable jacket inside the RJ45 and land the data cores on the terminals, the amount that the jacket is stripped back in relation to the cores needs to be quite accurate. Cables with exposed data cores should not be used as they will be unreliable. Termination - pin-out Hydra2 network cables use the standard gigabit Ethernet pin-out. Performance relies on the positive and negative leg of each signal pair using cores that are twisted together. Calrec recommends that 'straight-through' or 'pin-for-pin' cables are used. 'Cross-over' style cables can be used, however they must be gigabit standard cross-over. Older pin-outs, designed for use with slower Ethernet standards only use two of the four pairs, even though all four pairs are terminated. Cross-over variants of this style only cross the pairs that are used (A & B). Gigabit cross-over cables require that the blue (C) pair is crossed with the brown (D) pair as well as the orange (A) pair being crossed with the blue (B) pair. STANDARD HYDRA2 RJ45 PIN-OUT Pin Colour Signal 1 Orange-White A+ 2 Orange A - 3 Green-White B+ 4 Blue C+ 5 Blue-White C - 6 Green B - 7 Brown-White D+ 8 Brown D - 1 8 Top Front 1 8 RJ45 PIN NUMBERING • For standard wiring, both ends of the cable should be terminated as above in other applications, such as a PC LAN connection where errors leading to retries and therefore delays are acceptable and often unnoticed. Temporary / reusable cables Cabling that is not part of a permanent infrastructure, such as temporary runs used for outside broadcasts should be carefully coiled and uncoiled to avoid kinking and they should be regularly tested. Cables showing any sign of damage should be replaced.

Connection Information FIBRE SFP CONNECTIVITY Optical SFP modules for fibre connectivity can be used for console to processing core, router to router, and router to I/O connections. Fibre connectivity is required when the cable run between units exceeds the 90m maximum permissible length for Cat5e/ Cat6 copper cabling. Fibre can also be used for shorter runs if it is simply the preferred medium. Note that this section only concerns fibre connections made via SFPs. Like all I/O boxes, MADI units have pluggable SFPs for their Hydra2 connections to routers, but they also have fibre connectors that pass the actual MADI audio format in and out of the system. The MADI I/O format fibre connectors are of a fixed type which has no relation to SFP choice. Different build types of MADI I/O box are available to provide various types of MADI fibre interface. Please refer to the Hydra2 installation manual for more details on MADI I/O options. Singlemode vs multimode The core within multimode fibre is relatively thick when compared to singlemode. Light travels through multimode fibre at multiple angles, 'bouncing' of the sides of the core as it travels through it, taking multiple paths or 'modes' of varying length from one end to the other, resulting in pulses being lengthened as they travel. Singlemode fibre has a very fine core and light travels in a single, direct path from one end to the other without affecting pulse length. The result is that singlemode fibre has a higher bandwidth capacity and importantly, low signal loss allowing much greater distances to be achieved. Light can be transmitted into multimode fibre using LED’s or low powered lasers whilst singlemode requires a higher powered laser. Calrec recommend the use of singlemode fibre whenever possible in order to maximise the flexibility in the location of hardware and maintain uniformity across the system by using a single type. If a multimode infrastructure is in place, fibre length, the number of inter-connects and equipment location become more important. SFP modules are available for both singlemode and multimode fibre types. It is important to select the correct SFP for the type of fibre being used in the installation. If using a mixture of singlemode and multimode fibre, it is important to ensure the correct SFPs are matched to the correct fibre type. Identification The release button / handles of fibre SFPs are colour coded - Blue for singlemode, Black for multimode. Blue LC connectors, as shown below should be used to terminate singlemode fibre, and beige coloured ones for multimode. Duplex Connectors / terminations Standard Calrec fibre SFPs, multimode and singlemode use duplex LC connectors. The duplex termination requires two fibres per connection, one is a send path, the other is a receive path. When terminating the fibre, the send from DUPLEX LC FIBRES CORRECTLY TERMINATED A TO B & B TO A one end should connect to the receive of the other and therefore they are 'cross- over', terminated A to B and B to A. Single strand, bi-directional SFPs To reduce the amount of fibre, Calrec can supply singlemode SFPs that send and receive over a single, or simplex LC connector. In order to be able to pass data in both directions over a single strand, the light travelling in one direction needs to be of a different wavelength to the light travelling in the other direction. Therefore, bi-directional SFPs come as either type A, or type B, and they need to be paired up - A fibre should connect between a type A and a type B, and not between two bi-directional SFPs of the same type / wavelength. The units are colour coded to aid identification between type A's & type B's. SFP / fibre specifications Specifications are shown in the table below. The maximum distances shown assume a single point to point connection with no intermediary interconnections. Losses should be measured across the total signal path including interconnects - between points of SFP transceiver connection. Losses need to be less than the optical power budget of the SFP transceivers being used.

47 Testing / certification Calrec strongly recommends that all fibres are properly tested or certified prior to on-site commissioning of the system. A certain amount of signal loss occurs over the length of a fibre path. If the total loss of a path exceeds the optical power budget of the SFPs in use, the system will be unreliable. Areas of loss Signal loss occurs in various areas. Splice loss occurs in terminations - at the point where the fibre meets the connector. Typically splice loss should be <0.3dB per termination. Poor termination results in higher loss. Connector loss occurs at the point where the connector meets the SFP / optical transceiver, or another connector, such as extension interconnects or patch- points. Connector loss should typically be <0.5dB per interconnect. Dust or other contamination between interconnects and scratches on the end surface contact point of the fibre will substantially increase the amount of loss. As such, dust covers should always be fitted to optical transceivers such as SFPs when no fibre is connected and to fibre connectors that are not landed. As well as splice and connector loss, the fibre itself has inherent loss over distance, typically fibre loss will vary from 3.5dB per km for multimode down to 0.4dB per km for singlemode. Poor installation practise and lack of care can damage the fibre and result in substantially increased losses. Fibre handling practise It is important to follow the fibre manufacturer's guidelines when handling fibre and installing fibre runs. Some of the main points of concern are: • Minimum bend radii - fibre should not be bent through too tight an angle. Tight angles can cause significant losses and permanent damage to the fibre. Fibres may pass initial installation testing but can fail at a later date due to stresses on the core of the fibre caused by tight bends. • Twists, snags and kinks - Twists in fibre runs add stresses to the core which can cause damage over time. Avoid snagging on other cables or conduit which will cause excessive tensions when pulling and can cause kinks and excessive bends in the fibre. When routing through angled conduit, provide enough clearance around corners to avoid the fibres being pulled sharply around the inside of the angle. • Pulling - observe the manufacturers maximum pulling tension specification. Use pulling tools and lubrication where appropriate. Never pull on the connector. • Strain relief - fibres should be adequately strain relieved to prevent tension on terminations, however use of plastic cable ties can crush the internal construction of the cable. Hook-and- loop 'Velcro' straps are harder to over- tighten, offer more gentle support and a greater surface area to dissipate the pressure. • Crushing - never place heavy items on top of unprotected fibre. Ruggedised fibre For temporary / re-usable fibre runs , or runs unprotected by conduit, fibre that is likely to be exposed to the elements, snagging or to being stood on, should always be of a ruggedised / armoured type to protect the internal construction of the core. WARNING Never look into the end of an optical transceiver or fibre when in use. Laser radiation can be harmful to the human eye and should be avoided. Remember that when disconnecting a fibre, the transmitting device at the other end may still be active. FIBRE - GENERAL RULES Cleaning and preventative maintenance Contamination of transceiver and fibre mating contact points causes signal loss and can cause permanent damage by scratching. Dust covers should be fitted to all fibre connectors and SFP optical transceivers when they are not mated. It is also important to ensure that dust covers themselves are kept clean. When handling fibres without dust covers, do not allow the ends to come into contact with any surface, including fingers. Specialist materials should be used for the cleaning of mating contact points to avoid further contamination or scratching. The following items are low cost and readily available from camera shops and laboratory suppliers: • Canned compressed air - it is important to use specialist filtered, clean, dry air, free of contaminants and moisture. • Isopropyl alcohol. Use with cotton swabs or lint-free wipes to ensure no residue is left. • Lint free wipes / long fibre, low ash lens paper - needs to be free from chemical additives. Ensure wipes and swabs are stored in a clean environment and are not reused.

Connection Information Cleaning fibre optic cables and connectors There are multiple ways to clean fibre- optic cables and connectors. Included below are some helpful tips to properly clean fibre optic cables. • Do not allow the end of the fibre optic cable to make contact with any surface including fingers. • Do not excessively bend the fibre cable. Bending the cable may cause internal breaks along the fibre resulting in poor performance or instability. • Optics and optic coatings are easily chipped and/or scratched. Use of finger cots or powder free surgical gloves while handling fibre optic cables, will help ensure cleanliness. • Only fresh (dry) spectroscopic grade Isopropyl Alcohol should be used as a cleaning solvent. • Ensure that the module power is off and that other light sources are disabled. Cleaning procedure 1. Blow the fibre surface with a stream of Clean Dry Air, this will dislodge larger loose particles. 2. Place 1-3 drops of spectroscopic grade Isopropyl Alcohol in the centre of a lens tissue. 3. Hold the fibre by the connector or cable, place the wet portion of the lens tissue on the optical surface and slowly drag it across. 4. Examine the surface of the fibre end under high intensity light using a direct magnifying inspection microscope or an indirect video inspection tool if available. If streaks or contaminants still remain, repeat the process using a fresh lens tissue. 5. Immediately install a protective cover over the end of the cable to avoid re- contamination or insert the fibre back into the previously cleaned receptacle for immediate use. Additional notes Do not tip the can of Clean Dry Air whilst aerosol spraying as liquid may be released contaminating the surface of the fibre. Do not use lens paper dry as dry lens paper is extremely abrasive. Do not use Acetone as a cleaning solvent on the fibre optical surfaces. To ensure the purity of the Isopropyl Alcohol, do not insert the lens tissue, swabs, etc into the liquid, instead, drip the liquid on to the material. Cleaning optical transceivers The best way to clean a transceiver port is to remove particles using a stream of Clean Dry Air. Included below are some helpful tips to properly clean fibre optic modules. • Always handle optical SFP modules in an ESD safe manner using the proper safety precautions. • Ensure that the module power is off and handle the modules with care. • Always use Clean Dry Air or an approved canned compressed air supply. • Always hold the can of compressed air upright. Tipping may release liquids into the air stream. • Do not touch the inner surfaces of the module including the Optical Sub- Assemblies (OSA), or insert any foreign objects into the ports. • Use of finger cots or powder free surgical gloves are not required but may be used for cleanliness. Cleaning procedure 1. With the clean dry air, blow the inner barrel of the Transmitter and Receiver Optical Sub-Assemblies (OSA). This will dislodge loose particles. 2. Examine the surface of the OSA lens under high intensity light using the inspection microscope. If contaminants still remain, repeat the process. Following these guidelines should provide a successful installation and ensure optimum reliability and system performance. For further information or advice please feel free to contact Calrec.

49 To change the sync sources selected, click on the desired source on the left, the desired destination on the right and then click 'Patch'. The video inputs can be fed with analogue or digital video in NTSC, PAL or a variety of HD / tri-level formats. The correct video format for each video input being used needs to be specified from the Sync page. SYNCHRONISATION Artemis processing cores have 4 BNC's to allow connection of external sync. If no external sync is connected and selected, the console will free- run on its own synchronisation clock, generated by the active router card. General rules of good practise require that all equipment connected to the audio console's digital inputs and outputs are all locked to the same referenced sync source as the console to ensure clean audio. In systems with multiple Calrec processing cores; i.e. where more than one Apollo, Artemis or standalone cores are connected together, it is of paramount importance that all connected processing cores are locked to the same referenced sync source. One or more cores receiving a sync signal that is not locked from the same clock reference as other cores can cause interruptions to both audio and data carried by the routers. This can lead to false error warnings and IO boxes going offline. Therefore it is essential to consider a robust sync distribution design for the facility and to ensure all points in the chain are correctly configured to lock to the appropriate input and no elements such as sync regenerators are changing the reference source or free-running. It is also recommended that backup sync sources and paths are considered to maintain full functionality in the event of the loss of any part of the facilities' sync distribution system. External sync sources can be fed to the BNC connectors at the top of the processing core. Two inputs are available for video formats, as well as an input for TTL Wordclock and an input for AES3 digital audio reference. Sync source selection The sync sources to be used have to be selected from the Console PC's Main Application, >System Settings>Sync page, or by the Hydra2 Organiser. The main application must be in technician mode (enter username and password on the Tech page) to change sync settings. Only one sync source is active and locked to at any given time. Multiple sources can be selected by priority to determine the next choice to use in the event of the active source failing. The Sync page shows the available sources on the left and the selected sources on the right. The last of the 'selectable' sources is actually fixed as Internal to ensure that console will run on its own clock when no external sync is present. On boot up or reset, the console attempts to lock to the first sync source in the selection list. If it cannot lock to the first choice, it will move down the list in order until a source can be locked to. The source currently locked to is displayed on the screen. Any sync failures to the local core will be reported by System Status. If a failed sync input becomes good, the console will NOT automatically re-lock to it as any changeover in sync could affect audio. S witching back to the primary sync choice is done manually by clicking 'Reset to 1st' on the sync page, or automatically after the next boot / reset.

Connection Information SURFACE TO CORE CONNECTION A connection is required between the Control Processors in the processing core and the Surface Switches inside the control surface. These connections are via SFPs, either fibre or copper, as requested at order depending on the distances and infrastructure involved. Calrec do not provide these interconnecting fibres / cables as the length, type and quality will vary depending on the specific requirements of each installation. Copper connections should be made using screened Cat5e or Cat6 cable. For more information on copper connections, SFP's and fibres, please see the Connection Types and Cat5e Cables sections. The illustrations to the right show the location of the connections on the cores and surface switches. The two surface switches are located inside the control surface, mounted to the rear cover of the section containing the IEC mains power inlets. These can be accessed by removing the control surface panels and up-stand meter panels in that area of the console. The two surface switches should be easily identifiable on the rear cover. The left hand unit, when viewed from the front is the primary Surface Switch, the right hand unit is the secondary Surface Switch. In the processing core, the left hand Control processor is the Primary, the right hand is the secondary. 8U APOLLO & ARTEMIS SHINE / BEAM CORE TO CONSOLE CONNECTIONS A connection should be fitted between the Primary Surface Switch on connector 'A' and the Primary Control Processor's connector 'Surface 1'. A backup connection should be fitted between the Secondary Surface Switch connector 'A' and the Secondary Control Processor connector 'Surface 1'. It is important to ensure that these connections are made correctly - primary to primary, secondary to secondary and on the correct connectors.

51 CONTROL SURFACE SIDECAR CONNECTION The processing core supports an additional connection for a second control surface known as a sidecar. A sidecar surface, unlike a surface extension is fitted with its own pair of surface switches and connects to the 'Surface 2' SFP ports on the Control Processor cards in the processing core, as shown in the adjacent diagram. The primary surface switch needs to be connected to the primary controller card, and secondary switch to secondary card to provide redundancy. The Calrec Main Application >System Settings>Surface layout page defines the control surface panels that are fitted. The layout shown on the 'Surface 1' tab relates to the main control surface, connected to the Control Processor 'Surface 1' ports. The layout shown on the 'Surface 2' tab relates to a sidecar surface connected to 'Surface 2'. The surface layout numbers the POE switches starting from #1 for both surface 1 and surface 2. The surface layout page allows for different console layouts to be created, edited, saved and loaded onto the control surface(s). For systems that have temporary sidecars it is advisable to have two surface layouts saved, one with a sidecar / surface 2 and one without. Loading a surface layout with a surface 2 sidecar enables the sidecar control panels. Loading a surface layout without a surface 2 configuration prevents error messages being generated for panels that are not present when the sidecar is removed or not powered, as well as preventing paths being placed on faders that are not currently present. As with the main surface, the sidecar can be supplied with copper or fibre connections depending on the distance required between the processing core and the control surface. Both control surfaces have full access to the DSP within the processing core as well as to all of the I/O that the processing core has been given access to. To prevent control conflicts, user splits can be put in place between the two surfaces and different monitoring outputs can be set up for each one. Please refer to the console operator manual for further information on user splits and monitoring. Both the main surface 1, and the sidecar surface 2 can be physically split further using extended control surface's if required. Extremely large control surface's would require 2 pairs of surface switches fitting in the single chassis surface in order to be able to communicate with the high number of control panels. In such a case, the single chassis would connect to both 'Surface 1' and 'Surface 2'. The surface layout for the single control surface would be split across the surface 1 and surface 2 screens. In such a case, a separate sidecar cannot be added, though surface extensions may be.

As these are copper only connections, the cable distance between surfaces is 90m [295 ft] maximum. In addition to sidecars, console chassis can also be split using extended control surfaces. This can be to allow multiple operators the comfort of more space, to create a 'wrap around' surface for small rooms or large consoles to bring faders closer, or to provide control from a different location. Unlike a sidecar, a control surface extension is not fitted with its own surface switches and therefore does not connect directly to the processing core. Instead, console extensions connect to the main control surface via its' surface switches. Multiple surface extensions can be added, limited only by the maximum number of POE's that can be connected to the surface switches. Surface extensions can also be used in conjunction with sidecar surfaces. Using surface extensions and / or sidecars in conjunction with user splits and multiple monitor or headphone outputs, along with the huge resources of both input channels and output buses allows multiple operators to work independently on a single core system. Consoles built with the intention of connecting to extensions will have RJ45s mounted and labelled in the rear interface for this purpose. A primary and secondary data connection between the surface and the extension are required. A third RJ45– RJ45 connection, carrying the reset lines is optional, depending on whether the extension is fitted with its own reset button or not. Screened Cat5e cable should be used to guarantee performance. These connections use standard Ethernet pin- outs and pairings. The reset cable, if used needs to be a 'straight-through' pin out, NOT a 'cross-over'. SURFACE EXTENSION CONNECTIONS

53 AUDIO I/O CONNECTIONS All audio inputs and outputs to / from the console signal processing engine are Hydra2 based. Audio Formats Hydra2 I/O units come in a variety of formats and connector types including MADI and SDI embedders / de- embedders as well as standard AES digital and analogue mic/line formats with a variety of connector types. Please refer to the Hydra2 installation manual for full details on I/O. Power All Hydra2 I/O units are fitted with dual power supplies & IEC mains input connectors operating from 100-240VAC. Both power inputs should be fed, preferably from two separate AC sources to provide full redundancy. IEC 'Y' cords are supplied to allow both inputs to be fed from a single cable source in the event that this is all that is available, ensuring both PSU's can always be fed. ID configuration Each I/O box in a system needs to be given a unique ID, set by a DIP switch accessible from the rear of a fixed format box, or on the side of the controller card within a modular I/O box. Box ID's, as well as system IP addresses are factory pre-configured and recorded prior to despatch. When ordering additional Hydra2 I/O, please discuss with your sales person or Calrec project engineer to select suitable ID's for the system it is to be used with. If fitting a replacement I/O box, settings its ID to the same as the unit it is replacing allows it to function as a drop in replacement with existing user memories and requiring no further configuration (as long as the box types are the same). Care should be taken when setting HID’s to avoid accidentally duplicating the same ID on more than one box. Duplicate box ID’s can cause network conflicts. I/O boxes should be disconnected from the network before changing their HID, and reset or power cycled once the DIP switch is set to ensure the new HID is active before reconnecting to the network. Do not change I/O box IDs or add extra I/O to the system unless you are confident it will not cause a conflict on the network. Fixed format I/O box IDs The 8 way DIP switch is set as an 8 bit binary representation of the HID value with the left hand switch used for the most significant bit, and the right hand switch for the least significant bit. A switch in the down / off position represents a binary 0 and a switch set in the up / on position representing a binary 1. Each switch / binary bit equates to a decimal value, starting at 1 for the least significant bit. The remaining switches are double the value of their less significant neighbour, making the 8th / most significant bit equate to a decimal value of 128. All fixed format I/O box ID switches are orientated the same way, though some boxes, such as MADI units, use a different style switch with more pronounced labelling. Ignore any labels on the switch itself and always refer to the Calrec labelling on the surrounding panel which will show the most significant bit switch on the left and the binary 1 position as up. Address 2 Some I/O boxes, such as MADI units are fitted with 2 banks of DIP switches - Address 1 and Address 2, to provide a 16 bit ID and therefore a greater range of values. Please note that only ID values between 0 and 255 are currently supported. Any DIP switches labelled Address 2 should all be set to the off position. Modular I/O box ID setting The ID for modular I/O boxes is set by a DIP switch on the controller card and is only accessible by removing the card. Please refer to the Hydra2 installation manual and ensure ESD precautions are observed before removing any modular I/O box cards. ID switches on modular I/O controller cards are orientated differently. Ignore any labelling on the switch itself and refer to the Calrec labelling printed on the circuit board around the switch to clarify its’ orientation. When viewing the card from the side, the most significant bit is on the left and the least significant bit on the right. Pulling a switch towards you sets it as a binary 1, away from you as a binary 0. 1 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 ADDRESS 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 32 4 2 1 = + + + 39 STANDARD SWITCH FOR HID SETTING • The above diagram shows how each switch relates to a decimal value. The setting shown in the example provides a decimal HID value of 39

Connection Information The following illustrations show the ID switch on the modular I/O controller card from the side and top views. Again the decimal value of 39 is used for the example. Modular I/O card slots Please note that changing the card type fitted in a modular I/O box slot requires a change to the network configuration. If the order that cards are fitted in a modular frame matters, please discuss this with your Calrec project engineer prior to delivery. If for any reason the card order needs to be changed post delivery, please contact our Customer Support team or your local distributor for guidance. Cards of the same type can be interchanged with no configuration change being required. Additional cards can be fitted in previously empty slots without further configuration. Hydra2 connection I/O boxes require a direct connection to a front panel Hydra2 port on the main router card, or the expansion router card if fitted. Each I/O box has two Hydra2 ports to provide redundancy. Port 1 should always connect to a primary main or expansion MODULAR I/O CONTROLLER - SIDE 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ID BITS Sw3 1 2 4 8 64 32 16 128 Front Panel 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 MODULAR I/O - VIEWED FROM TOP Front Panel router, port 2 to the secondary main or expansion router located in the same core. Like the Hydra2 ports on the router card, Hydra2 connections on I/O boxes are SFPs and therefore the connection type required (copper / single mode fibre / multimode fibre) needs to be specified at the time of order. Note, any fixed RJ45's on the rear of Hydra2 I/O boxes are not functional, if copper connections are required, copper SFPs should be specified. Please refer to the Hydra2 installation manual and H20 user guide for more comprehensive details on Hydra2 I/O options and connectivity.

Connection Information GPIO in Apollo and Artemis systems is a Hydra2 option. GPIO cards provide logic inputs and outputs that can be assigned to various functions on the control surface; allowing console functions to trigger external devices such as fader starts for playback devices and for external devices to trigger console functions, for example auto-fades controlled by a video switcher. If GPIO is required, please discuss this with your sales person or Calrec project engineer. Optional GPIO cards can be fitted in modular Hydra2 I/O frames, or any fixed format Hydra2 box with a height of 2U or greater. Multiple boxes can be fitted with GPIO cards to make up the required quantity. The physical location of I/O boxes within the installation should be considered when choosing which to fit with GPIO cards. A fixed format I/O box fitted with a GPIO card has two D25 connectors on the rear, female for inputs, male for outputs. GPIO cards for modular frames have a single D50 connector on the front for both inputs and outputs. Two versions of modular card are available, one with 8 changeover relay outputs and one with 16 normally open relay closures. GP inputs Each GPIO card type has 8 opto-isolated inputs allowing for remote triggering of console functions. Applying DC or AC voltage across the positive and negative pins of an input will trigger it. A common way to trigger a GP input is by providing a dry closure from a relay with no voltage on it. If using a dry closure, it should not simply be wired across the +/- terminals of the opto input - one half of the closure should be connected to a ground on the GPIO card, the other half of the closure to an opto input, and the other input should be linked in the connector hood to a GPIO card +5V pin. This prevents potential GPIO CONNECTIONS problems in connecting power between different manufacturers' hardware and is shown in the example below. GP INPUT WIRING EXAMPLE 0V +IN -IN +5V Trigger GP Input External Closure Calrec GPIO card +5V (Dry) External wiring GP outputs The fixed format I/O box GPIO card, and the WY5858 modular GPIO card both have 8 changeover relays each with access to the normally open, normally closed and either common relay pins or normally open/closed negative pins to provide flexibility in use. If required, these contacts can be used to switch audio. If being used to trigger external equipment expecting a ground, the relay common should be connected to a ground from the external equipment and either the normally open or normally closed contact used as the trigger line. If a dry closure is required by the external equipment, this can be achieved by wiring one leg to either the normally open or normally closed contact and the other leg to the common or normally open/closed negative contact. Normally open (NO) contacts short to the common or negative pin when the relay is activated by the selected function. Normally closed (NC) contacts are shorted to common or negative when the function is NOT active.

For WY5859 treat NO- as common. changeover relay (shown inactive) Calrec GPIO card External wiring Com NO NM • Changeover relay shown wired to provide a ground when activated.

Before connecting a console to an active Hydra2 network it is essential to be aware of IP address compatibility and of the Master Router status. A single, standalone console with its processing core and connected I/O units forms a basic Hydra2 network. All Hydra2 networks require one, and only one of the processing cores to be configured as the Master Router. Therefore, consoles specified at order to be standalone will have their processing cores pre- configured as Master Routers. It is vital that this is changed before connecting to an active Hydra2 network. A console specified to be part of a wider Hydra2 network will not function reliably until it is connected to a network with a Master Router, or has its own core changed to become a Master. Please contact Calrec support for guidance on configuring router master / slave status. Each processing core is configured with an IP address range unique within the network it is to be connected to. It is important to ensure that the IP address range does not conflict before connecting to an existing network. Processing cores connect together using any of their primary main router I/O ports, highlighted on the following page. These core-to-core connections should NOT be made via expansion slot ports. To provide redundancy, for each primary router to router link, there should also be a (normally inactive) link fitted between the secondary router cards in the same cores. When multiple cores are networked, it is essential that they are all receiving and are locked to the same derived sync reference. Each Hydra2 link can carry 512 channels of audio in each direction simultaneously. From software version 1.10, bandwidth between cores can be increased in multiples of 512 audio channels by adding additional links to form trunks. Trunk links should only be fitted if they have been configured. Please contact Calrec Customer Support or your local representative for guidance on trunk link configuration. It is important that there is only one path (not counting dedicated secondaries and configured trunks) between any two points on the network. It is important to note that the path between I/O port and console router may pass through other routers. Figure 2 shows an incorrectly connected network - the addition of a third router to router link creates duplicate paths. This will cause network collisions as data can take two paths between any two routers - one path is direct, the other is via the third router. Removing any one of the three router to router links corrects this, effectively changing the topology to match that shown in Figure 1. Note, it is important to ensure that when Hydra2 routers are networked together, they are on separate VLANs.

61 For large systems, network topology should be considered to manage bandwidth. Using a processing core as a central point to connect others, rather than daisy-chaining them together minimises the number of cores a signal has to pass through to get between I/O and console, optimising the available bandwidth on each router to router link. From software version 1.16 onwards Auto Promote can be used to specify which routers in a Hydra2 network can automatically take over the master router status in the very unlikely event of a master router failure. Please contact Customer Support for guidance on configuring auto-promoting routers. See the Master Router section of the Hydra2 installation manual for more information. Please refer to the Hydra2 installation manual and H20 user guide for more information regarding Hydra2 and I/O.

External Control The Hydra2 router allows for 1-to-n source to destination routing of Hydra inputs to Hydra outputs, without using console DSP, or control surface space. Control over input to output cross-point routing can be carried out from a console PC, a standalone PC running the Hydra2 Organiser, or via 3rd party controllers supporting the SW-P-08 protocol. As well as physical Hydra2 I/O ports, the H2O application and SW-P-08 controllers also have access to Hydra Patchbays, providing access to route console DSP outputs and the ability to change sources feeding console inputs. SW-P-08 is a well proven communications protocol with a very wide uptake by router and controller manufacturers, allowing their equipment to control, or to be controlled by, other manufacturers' equipment. Although in widespread use, there is no official standard and there can be slight variations in different manufacturers' interpretation. As such, where possible, Calrec prefer to test communications with specific systems before they are used for the first time, allowing for software changes to be made if required. The following 3rd party SW-P-08 control systems have so far been factory proven by Calrec: • L-S-B VSM • Colledia BNCS • Grass Valley Jupiter • Evertz • NVision • Axon Cortex • Harris Edge Please refer to the relevant manufacturer’s guidance for specific information relating to their products. Connection and redundancy SW-P-08 controllers connect to the front panel RJ45, labelled 'Ethernet', on the Main primary router card (slot 2 of the processing core). Cards fitted in expansion router slots do not support this connection. In multi-console / multi-core networked systems, the connection should be made to the Router card in the core configured as the Master. Slaved router cores do not support SW-P-08 connections. An SW- P-08 connection made to the network's Master Router can be given access to all of the I/O and Hydra Patchbays on the network, irrespective of which core the I/O connects to directly, or which console the Hydra Patchbays are configured for. In the event of a router failure, the secondary router card will take over and continue SW-P-08 communications via the connection made to the primary card's front panel. If supported by the 3rd party controller, a secondary connection can also be made to the secondary router card in the same core, providing additional redundancy against cable, port, and external third party switch / controller failure. If required, multiple SW-P-08 and also EMBER controllers can be connected simultaneously to the same RJ45 via an external Ethernet switch / hub. The router card's front panel Ethernet connector uses a standard Ethernet pin-out and passes data via TCP/IP. Screened Cat5e cabling should be used to ensure performance in electrically noisy environments. For 3rd party controllers that pass SW- P-08 data over RS232/RS422, serial to TCP/IP conversion is required. Convertor units, such as the Perle IOLAN can be supplied by Calrec. SW-P-08 ROUTER REMOTE CONTROL Connection configuration The 3rd party controller (or the serial to TCP/IP convertor if used) will need to be configured to connect using the IP address of the Calrec Master Router card (and the secondary if a backup connection is being made). In addition to the IP address, the system will need to be configured to use TCP socket port 61000. The default IP addresses for router cards are - xxx.yyy.5.0 for a primary and xxx. yyy.6.0 for a secondary, xxx.yyy is different for each processing core and can be confirmed using the Calrec Program Updater application. If the default IP addresses are unsatisfactory, Calrec routers can be configured with alternative IP addresses of choice. Configuring alternative IP addresses should only be done by, or under the guidance of a Calrec engineer. Please contact your sales representative, assigned project leader or customer support to discuss any alternative addressing requirements. Note, Calrec default IP addresses are defined by the core and slot the cards are fitted in. Alternate, aliased IP addresses are configured on the cards themselves, and will therefore follow the card if it is moved to a different slot or core. SW-P-08 I/O mapping configuration Physical I/O and Hydra Patchbays that are to be accessible to 3rd party controllers need to be given SW-P- 08 source / destination values which correspond to values configured in the 3rd party controller. SW-P-08 values can be manually typed for each input source / output destination, or they can be imported (and exported) in the form of a CSV file. SW-P-08 mapping requires the use of the Calrec H2O GUI, please refer to the H2O user guide for more details.

69 EMBER REMOTE CONTROL The EMBER protocol is a sophisticated data exchange mechanism that has potential for controlling many functions across varied equipment types. EMBER control has been incorporated into Calrec’s Apollo, Artemis and Hydra2 range to allow various remote control functionality, both over mixing consoles, and the wider Hydra2 network. Currently, Calrec have tested, and have users on-air with the following EMBER controllers: • L-S-B VSM • Colledia BNCS Please refer to the relevant manufacturer’s guidance for specific information relating to their products. Currently, EMBER has the ability to control the following features when connected to a Calrec Apollo/Artemis/Hydra2 network: • Loading of shows and user memories onto control surfaces. • Loading / removing alias files used by consoles, instructing them to use different pre-defined sets of I/O ports. • Please refer to the console operator manual for more information on the use of alias files. • Input port settings - mic input gain, mic input phantom power switching and SRC switching on digital inputs. • EMBER controllers can view and edit the H20 based Hydra2 I/O box and port labels. • Inserting SMPTE2020 metadata into Hydra2 SDI embedder outputs - Metadata sets can be uploaded and edited using the H20 application. EMBER controllers can select any of the available metadata sets for insertion to, or removal from any of the SDI embedder outputs on the network. • EMBER controllers can selectively mute any of the audio channels within the SDI outputs of Hydra2 embedders. Connection and redundancy EMBER clients connect to the front panel RJ45, labelled 'Ethernet', on the Main primary router card (slot 2 of the processing core). Cards fitted in expansion router slots do not support this connection. In multi-console / multi-core networked systems, the connection should be made to the Router card in the core configured as the Master. Slaved router cores do not support EMBER connections. An EMBER connection made to the network's Master Router has access to all of the I/O and mixing consoles on the Hydra2 network. In the event of a router failure, the secondary router card will take over and continue EMBER communications via the connection made to the primary card's front panel. If supported by the 3rd party controller, a secondary connection can also be made to the secondary router card in the same core, providing additional redundancy against cable, port, and external third party switch / controller failure. If required, other controllers can be connected to the same RJ45 on the router at the same time, by using an external Ethernet switch / hub. The router card's front panel Ethernet connector uses a standard Ethernet pin-out and passes data via TCP/IP. Screened Cat5e cabling should be used to ensure performance in electrically noisy environments. For 3rd party controllers that pass EMBER data over RS232/RS422, serial to TCP/IP conversion is required. Convertor units, such as the Perle IOLAN can be supplied by Calrec. Connection configuration The 3rd party EMBER controller will need to be configured to connect using the IP address of the Calrec Master Router card (and the secondary if a backup connection is being made). In addition to the IP address, the system will need to be configured to use TCP socket port 62000. The default IP addresses for router cards are - xxx.yyy.5.0 for a primary and xxx. yyy.6.0 for a secondary, xxx.yyy is different for each processing core and can be confirmed using the Calrec Program Updater application. If the default IP addresses are unsatisfactory, Calrec routers can be configured with alternative IP addresses of choice. Configuring alternative IP addresses should only be done by, or under the guidance of a Calrec engineer. Please contact your sales representative, assigned project leader or customer support to discuss any alternative addressing requirements. Note, Calrec default IP addresses are defined by the core and slot the cards are fitted in. Alternate, aliased IP addresses are configured on the cards themselves, and will therefore follow the card if it is moved to a different slot or core. Control configuration and enabling With a valid connection made, all parameters accessible to EMBER are made available. No further Calrec configuration is required. Mixing console operators can enable or disable EMBER controllers from being able to change their control surface show / user memory and I/O aliasing from the Calrec Main Application's >System Settings>Ext Control page.

External Control CALREC SERIAL CONTROL PROTOCOL The Calrec Serial Control Protocol, CSCP, allows for remote control over mixing console operational functions by 3rd party systems such as video switchers and production automation systems. Several broadcast equipment manufacturers provide serial control protocols that are compatible with CSCP. The following systems are currently in use around the world, actively controlling Calrec audio mixing consoles for live on-air applications: • Ross Overdrive (Automated Production Control system) & Ross video switchers. • Sony ELC. • Snell Kahuna. • Mosart. • Grass Valley Ignite. • L-S-B VSM. Please refer to the manufacturer's guidance for specific information relating to their products. CSCP versions Additional controls have been made accessible via CSCP since it was first introduced, requiring new commands be added to the protocol, and new versions released. If 3rd party equipment receives CSCP data it does not understand, it should simply ignore it, however Calrec cannot guarantee the operation of third parties, and as such makes all CSCP versions available for use on Apollo and Artemis consoles. Faders controlled by CSCP Third party systems with a CSCP connection to an Apollo or Artemis console have access to control and read back the status of 192 path faders. Starting with the lowest numbered fader (usually #1) on layer 1A, up to the highest consecutively numbered fader, followed by the same fader numbers on layer 1B, then layer 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B etc. up to a total of 192 faders. If required, the faders exposed to CSCP control can be zoned, preventing remote control over the entire surface width by intentionally inserting gaps in fader numbering. The 8 faders within a panel are always consecutively numbered, but they do not need to be so between panels. Under technician level access to the console's Main Application, the surface layout page allows a number to be chosen for the first fader on each panel. If for example, the first panel is numbered 1-8, but the second panel, instead of starting with fader 9, is actually set to start at 10 (or any higher number), CSCP would only have access to faders on the first panel, ensuring faders in the remaining surface area cannot be remotely controlled by third parties. Using this example of exposing only one fader panel to CSCP control, all layers of that panel can be accessed by the protocol (12 layers x 2 A/B sub-layers x 8 faders on a single panel = 192 faders total). It is also worth noting, that the lowest numbered faders in a control surface do not have to physically be at the left hand side. Controls available via CSCP CSCP V1.0 allows third party controllers: • Control over and read back of the position of 192 path faders. • Read back of the 192 faders' path / port labels. • Control over and read back of the Cut / On status for the same 192 faders. • Control over and read back of the PFL status for the same 192 faders. • Control over and read back of Main output bus levels and PFL status. • Read back of the console's name / ID. CSCP V2.0 provides the same functionality as V1.0 with the following additional features being made available: • Control over and status read back of the same 192 faders' routing to the first 20 Auxiliary output buses. • Control over and read back of the first 20 Aux bus output levels. • Read back of the path types allocated to the 192 faders. CSCP V2.1 provides all the functionality of V1.0 & V2.0 along with the following additional features: • Control and status read back over the 192 faders' routing to Main output buses. • Control and status read back over Left to Both & Right to Both input controls for stereo paths on the same 192 faders. Connection Although the protocol is based on and passes serial data, the Calrec connection is made via TCP/IP. If interfacing to third party systems which only support point to point RS232/422 serial connections, TCP/IP conversion will be required. For this purpose, Calrec support the use of, and can supply Perle IOLAN units. The CSCP connection should be made to either of the three ethernet ports (the MAC5 ports for the 8U or older 4U control processor models) on the front panel of the primary Control Processor fitted in the core associated with the console being controlled (Unlike H2O / SW-P-08 / EMBER connections which are always made to the Hydra2 network's Master Router core). If multiple consoles are to be controlled, each will require its own CSCP connection.

71 To enhance redundancy, and minimise the amount of change-over required in the event of a failure, both the primary and secondary Calrec controller cards can communicate over each other's front panel ports - in the event of a primary controller card failing, the secondary would automatically become active, but would still send and receive CSCP data over the connection made to the primary card. Secondary connections Third party CSCP controllers that support redundant secondary connections should be connected to one of the ethernet ports (MAC5 port for the 8U or older 4U control processor design) on both the primary and secondary Calrec controller cards to provide complete redundancy, protecting against cable / port failure and card removal. If required, this connection can be via an Ethernet switch, e.g. to allow a single RJ45 port on a 3rd party controller to connect to both primary and secondary Calrec ports. Multiple consoles If CSCP connections from multiple Calrec consoles are to be networked together, the consoles need to connect via a layer3 (IP) Ethernet switch in order to prevent MAC address conflicts. Connecting via corporate LAN DHCP servers run on the Calrec Control Processor cards to allow easy connection of a PC from configuration purposes or to access H2O. The PC should be connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the front of the control processor (or via the MAC5 port for the 8U or older 4U design). If a CSCP or other connection is to be made to these ports via a corporate LAN, it is important that the Calrec DHCP servers are disabled and the connections are manually configured as appropriate. Configuration Please discuss your installation requirements with your Calrec sales representative or distributor prior to delivery. CSCP connections should be configured and tested by, or under the guidance of a Calrec approved engineer. The following points should be noted when communicating your requirements: The default Calrec IP addresses are xxx. yyy.1.0 for the primary, and xxx.yyy.2.0 for the secondary Control Processor cards. xxx.yyy is unique for each Apollo / Artemis / Standalone Router processing core and can be confirmed by running the Program Updater GUI. If the default addresses are not suitable, please supply alternative IP addresses and a subnet mask which can be configured pre- delivery or during commissioning. If required, the Calrec system can be configured to connect via an IP gateway. In addition to connecting by IP address, both the Calrec system and the 3rd party require configuring to use the same TCP socket port. The default TCP socket port for CSCP is 49200. User & boot up enable / disable Once configured, CSCP can be enabled or disabled from the console's Main Application, >System Settings>Ext Control screen. Being part of the System Settings, the enabled / disabled selection is automatically saved for recall after a reset or power cycle. System settings are not saved as part of the show or user memory and will therefore not change when different shows / memories are loaded onto the control surface.

External Control SYSTEM STATUS OVER SNMP SNMP AGENT - SYSTEM STATUS TAB SNMP AGENT - SNMP CONFIGURATION TAB SNMP AGENT - HTTP CONFIGURATION TAB All Calrec consoles feature System Status - an advanced warning and correction system. System Status messages can be managed centrally using an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) server. All Calrec console and Master Router PCs provide an SNMP agent to forward error and warning messages to a central SNMP server, allowing equipment faults to be monitored and managed from a central location. A connection can also be made to a second SNMP server if required for redundancy. Connecting to the SNMP server A USB to ethernet adapter is provided with each console PC for connecting to your central SNMP server. If multiple SNMP servers are used this connection should be made to a network switch to allow multiple onwards connections. Router cores are provided with a rack mount PC which has a spare ethernet port to be used for connecting to your central SNMP server. In both cases the ethernet ports used must be configured to be in range of your central SNMP server before configuration can continue. Configuring the SNMP Agent Each console/router core PC's SNMP agent must be configured individually. This can be done from the local PC by opening Google Chrome and entering 'localhost' in the address bar as shown here. SNMP agents can also be configured remotely by entering the IP address of the PC where the SNMP agent is running, including the port number (default: 80). The SNMP Agent interface has 3 tabs. The System Status tab shows a list of the current System Status errors and warnings for the console or router that you are accessing. Enter the IP address of the facility's main SNMP server within the SNMP configuration tab under 'address 1'; this is where the SNMP agent and SNMP server are connected together. If a second SNMP server is used enter its IP address under 'address 2'. After making any changes, click SUBMIT & RESTART. The HTTP configuration tab allows you to set the port number for access to the SNMP agent configuration interface, the default is port 80. If changes are made here, the port will need to be specified when accessing the SNMP agent interface, for example, if the port is changed to 10, type 'Localhost:10' in Chrome's address bar to access the SNMP agent interface. After making any changes, click SUBMIT & RESTART. Scope of System Status over SNMP Only System Status error and warning messages are sent via SNMP, information messages are not sent. When errors are corrected, the relevant System Status messages are cleared from the PC Main application and are simultaneously cleared from the SNMP server.

73 WIRELESS ROUTER CONFIGURATION – ASSIST Calrec’s Assist apps are connected to the console via a wireless router. The setup options provided by different router manufacturers can differ substantially so this setup guide should be used along with the manufacturer's instructions for your particular router configuration application. Also, some basic networking knowledge is assumed. Calrec serial control protocol (CSCP) allows communication with Calrec consoles using the TCP/IP protocol at a pre-determined TCP port number. Assist apps run on iPad devices which connect to the Calrec system through a wireless router, through which console functions can be controlled using CSCP. Console Configuration From software version 1.14.7 onwards, Calrec consoles are pre-configured with a basic ‘Assist’ CSCP configuration which is disabled by default. This basic configuration assumes a simple, point to point connection with a wireless router on a 192.168.1/24 subnet. This basic setup is unlikely to be suitable for connection to a more complex corporate network. To enable the basic Assist connection, select System Settings from the menu along the bottom of the main application, then select Ext Control from the left hand menu and click to ENABLE ‘assist(CSCP v21)’. The console will now be providing the CSCP connections shown in this table. IP Address Subnet Mask Port Number Primary Control Processor 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 49300 Secondary Control Processor 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 49300 ASSIST CSCP ENABLE

External Control Wireless Router Configuration When the basic ‘Assist’ configuration has been enabled the console provides CSCP connections on the 192.168.1/24 subnet so the wireless router LAN connection must be configured to be part of this subnet. We advise that the wireless router is configured with a LAN IP address of 192.168.1.3 and an IP subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 DHCP Configuration To connect hand held wireless devices, such as the iPad, the wireless router should be configured to provide a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to distribute IP addresses to these hand-held devices. The wireless router should be configured as a DHCP server: The IP Start address or IP Pool address should be configured to be 192.168.1.100 and the IP or DHCP pool size should be set to 4. This allows up to four wireless devices to be connected to the console simultaneously. They will be allocated IP addresses in the range: 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.103. DNS (Domain Name System) parameters are not required for this setup. Other Configuration Parameters Wireless routers provide many different services and it is not possible to cover all setup permutations in this document. Some common considerations are: • Firewalls should be disabled if possible. If not then the firewall should be configured to enable TCP/IP traffic in both directions on port 49300. • NAT (Network Address Translation) should be avoided. • Packet filtering and MAC address filtering should be avoided. WIRELESS ROUTER TO CONTROL PROCESSOR CONNECTION IPAD, CONSOLE AND WIRELESS ROUTER CONNECTIONS

75 Security Considerations The wireless LAN (and therefore the console) is open to any devices that can discover the wireless network and have access to the encryption keys. It is strongly recommended that the wireless LAN is configured to use some method of encryption. WEP is considered to be insecure so as a minimum you should select WPA(2)-PSK. This requires both communicating parties to agree on the same keyword or passphrase before access is allowed. Assist Application Configuration Assist applications should be configured with a CSCP IP address of 192.168.1.1 to connect to the primary control processor or 192.168.1.2 to connect to the secondary control processor. The CSCP port number should be set to 49300. To access these settings, launch one of the Assist apps on an iPad and tap NEW in the top right hand corner to add a new connection. Enter your settings, as shown here, then press DONE. (The number of faders should reflect the number of faders on your desk and the 'Connection Label' can be customised to reflect your particular connection.) ASSIST APP CONFIGURATION

External Control RS232/422 CONVERSION Remote control connections to Calrec Apollo, Artemis and Hydra2 systems are made via TCP/IP. 3rd party controllers that use point to point true RS232/422 serial will require convertors to connect to the Calrec system. Various options are available for serial to TCP/IP conversion, Calrec recommend the use of, and can supply dual PSU Perle IOLAN SCS8's. Calrec chose this unit specifically for its dual power supply option, its 1U rack mount enclosure, and its flexible data routing options. Fitted with 8 x RS232 serial ports and 2 x Ethernet ports. Data can be routed from a single serial port controller to both primary and secondary Calrec connections. Controllers with a backup port, or systems with backup controllers can route the normally active port to the Calrec primary card, and the backup to the secondary. For 3rd party controllers that operate on RS422, Calrec can also supply in-line RS232-422 cable convertors (Calrec stock code 312-269) to use in conjunction with the Perle SCS8. The Perle unit needs to be configured to connect to the Calrec Hydra2 network's Master Router card/s (SW-P-08 / EMBER) or each console's Controller card/s (CSCP) by their IP addresses. In cases where the default Calrec card IP addresses are not suitable, as can be the case if data is being passed over a shared Ethernet infrastructure, the Calrec hardware can be configured to be accessed by alternative IP addresses.

77 Perle units supplied by Calrec can be pre-configured if the connectivity requirements are communicated prior to delivery. Please discuss 3rd party control integration with your Calrec sales representative or assigned project leader. Configuration requires that the IP addresses of the Perle unit itself are known. If the addresses are not known, or have yet to be configured, the first stage requires a serial Telnet connection to the front panel console port, labelled Admin. Telnet IP configuration The front panel Admin console port, like the rear panel serial ports is RS232 on an RJ45 connector. Perle supply the units with a number of various cable adaptors. Use the female D9 to RJ45 socket adaptor, along with an Ethernet cable, to connect a PC serial port to the Perle front panel Admin console port (the RJ45 plug to RJ45 socket cable adaptor, labelled 'Console Port' is not required). Launch a Telnet application on the PC. The following instructions are based around using HyperTerminal, which is normally pre-installed on Windows PC's. HyperTerminal can be found under Windows Start>All Programs>Accessories> Communications. On starting a new HyperTerminal session, you are required to enter a name of your choice and select an icon. On the following page, select COM1 (or the PC port being used if different) from the Connect Using drop-down menu. Enter the port settings on the following page as follows; bits per second: 9600, data bits: 8, parity: none, stop bits: 1, flow control: none. PERLE IOLAN CONFIGURATION Once the connection is configured, the main HyperTerminal window should be in view. Ensure the connection is active by clicking the Call icon (telephone with handset down) at the top of the HyperTerminal window. If the icon is greyed out, it is already connected. Once HyperTerminal is connected, power up the Perle unit. On boot up, messaging from the Perle unit should be displayed in the HyperTerminal window. Once booted, you should be greeted with a login prompt. To login, enter admin,for the password, enter superuser . A successful login is greeted with the unit's model number (SCS8#). Enter the following to set the IP address for the Perle Ethernet port 1: set server internet eth1 xxx.xxx. xxx.xxx (substituting xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the desired IP address). Enter the following to set port 2: set server internet eth2 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Enter save then y to confirm and retain the changes. Note, the IP addresses chosen for the Perle unit need to be in a range compatible with those of the Calrec cards being connected to (or their alternate, aliased IP addresses). Cycle the power to the Perle unit to reboot and view the startup messaging to confirm the IP addresses have been set correctly. Note, in the boot up messaging, port 1 is displayed as 'eth0' and port 2 'eth1' - this is contrary to the commands required to set the IP's. Call (connect) icon Disconnect icon Main configuration - Web Manager Once the IP addresses of the Perle unit are known, the main configuration can be carried out. Connect an Ethernet cable from a PC Ethernet port to one of the two Ethernet ports on the rear of the Perle unit. Configure the network connection of the PC to be in a compatible IP address range with the Perle unit. Launch a web browser on the PC and enter the IP address of the Perle's port 1 into the browsers address field to bring up the Perle Web Manager application. Enter admin for the username and superuser for the password to log in. Select the Configuration>Network>IP Address / IP Settings page, either from the tree on the left, or by the selection buttons in the main screen (screenshot shown overleaf). The addresses of both Perle ports are shown on the IPv4 settings page. If required, the subnet mask for each port can be changed, and also the IP addresses themselves can be changed. Click Apply if any changes are made. Note, that Web Manager page changes can be slow and do not always fully display the content. If content is missing, change away from the page and back, rather than just refreshing. Check the browser's progress bar to see when pages have finished loading. Select the Network>Advanced page (Not the Network>IP Address>advanced page). Click Add to add a new host to the host table. Enter a name, eg 'Calrec- Primary' and the IP address (or alternate, aliased IP address) of the primary Calrec card that the Perle will connect to.

External Control Repeat to add the secondary Calrec card as another host. Click Apply to save the changes. Select the Serial>Serial Port page. Select port 1 and click Edit to view the details for the serial port. At the top of the page, below the port label, click Change to select the TCP sockets profile, click Apply and then Return to Serial 1. Select the Hardware tab and enter serial port settings that match that of the 3rd party controller. Common settings are; Serial Interface: EIA-232, Speed: 115200, Data Bits: 8, Parity: Odd, Stop Bits: 1, Flow Control: None. Click Apply. If a backup controller serial connection is being used, repeat the above for serial port 2. Select the General tab for serial port 1. Check Connect To, and select the primary Calrec card from the Host drop- down list (as was previously defined from the Network>Advanced page). Enter a TCP Port number to match the protocol being setup (61000 for SW-P-08, 62000 for EMBER. The CSCP port is selectable, as defined by Calrec StudioSetup, the default value being 49200). Select Initiate Connection Automatically, and check Send Name On Connect. If Ethernet cable and port redundancy is required from a single serial port controller, check Connect To Multiple Hosts, then click Define Additional Hosts. Click Add and select the Calrec secondary card from the Host list, and enter the TCP port number required for the protocol being used. Click OK. Ensure that Define primary and backup Once completed, click Reboot IOLAN or cycle the power to the unit for the configuration changes to take.

Setup & Configuration This section covers areas often required by installation engineers to carry out the initial setup and configuration that is required to test the installation and provide a starting template for operators to work with. Please refer to the console operator manual and the H20 user guide for more comprehensive information on user functionality. The console PC should boot from control surface power on. If the PC has been shut down, it can be restarted by pressing the reset button behind the keyboard. The default Windows user is 'calrec' and requires no password. Once logged in, the Calrec main application should start up. If the main application is closed, it can be restarted from the Windows Start menu. Once open, the main pages can be selected by clicking on their icons across the bottom of the GUI. Most pages have sub-pages which can be accessed by the menu buttons at the left hand side of each main page. Some settings within the main application are protected and to make changes the user must be logged in as a Technician. Technician access is gained from the Tech page by clicking on Technician. If no users have been setup, the system allows the creation of a supervisor login. Supervisors are able to create and delete other technician user logins. H20 - Hydra2 Organiser is an administrator level GUI that provides control over the whole network. H20 can be accessed via a web browser running on a PC connected to the Master Router. This can be a console PC (if the master router core has a console directly attached to it), or a PC connected directly to a spare RJ45 on the front of the active Control Processor card in the Master OVERVIEW AND GUI ACCESS Router core. H20 is fully supported by Google Chrome which is pre-installed on Calrec supplied PC's with a bookmark to the H20 address (IP address of the Control Processor) Once open, H20 screens are accessed using the menu across the top of the GUI window. Some features, such as accessing the Calrec program updater and admin level Windows settings require the user to log into Windows as an administrator. The user CalrecAdmin is setup up with the password calrec.

83 CREATING A CLEAN STARTING POINT To ensure you are starting from a clean setup, before beginning configuration it is a good idea to create a new show. Shows contain default settings for the console, including monitor patching, GPI patching and port labelling. Shows can contain multiple user memories which save normal I/O patching, fader assignment and path parameter settings. To create a new show, go to the Mem page and select New Show. Choose the Calrec Default as the starting template, enter the details as prompted and click Next to load the new, clean show onto the console. The same Mem page allows changes to the show to be saved, as well as other shows to be loaded, and for user memories within shows to be loaded and saved. MAIN APPLICATION - MEM SCREEN

Setup & Configuration The control surface display brightness can be adjusted and the surface enters a screen saver / 'Dark Mode' after a period of inactivity. During dark mode, the displays are switched off, but all control and audio processing continues. The displays will instantly switch on if any control is changed. Touching a fader knob (without even moving the fader) will activate its touch sensor and bring the surface out of dark mode straight away, without changing control parameters. A 'Dark' button/LED on the monitor panel flashes to indicate when the console is in this mode. Pressing the Dark button on the monitor panel will also put the console into this mode, without waiting for the timeout. The above settings can be accessed from the main application, >System Settings>Surface Illum page. Note that the maximum dark mode timeout is 1 hour and cannot be disabled. SCREENSAVER TIMEOUT - 'DARK-MODE'

85 SYNC SETUP Artemis processing cores are capable of running on their own internally generated synchronisation clock, however where more than one core is networked together, it is essential that they are all fed and locked to the same derived sync source to ensure clean audio and seamless system data transmission. Even with a single Apollo / Artemis console, general rules of good practise dictate that the audio console should be locked to the same derived sync source as the surrounding digital equipment for clean transfer of audio between devices. Physically, sync inputs are on BNC connectors located across the top of the processing core, as described in the Connection Information section. By default, the system will choose to lock to its internal clock. On initial setup, each console's external sync input priority should be setup. Sync input priority can be set locally on each console's main application, or it can be set via H20. Neither GUI has priority over sync choice. Changes made on either user interface are reflected by the other. Where standalone router cores (without a control surface attached) are used to expand the network, it is essential that the same sync source(s) are connected and selected as the other cores on the network. Sync settings for standalone cores can only be accessed via H20. Main Application Sync Using the local user interface on each console, sync is set from the >System Settings>Sync page. To make any changes to this page, the user must be logged in as a technician (see overview and GUI access). The Sync page displays the available sync sources on the left hand side, and the priority list on the right hand side. The priority list displays six sources, the last of which is fixed as internal. The first 5 sources can be selected by highlighting the chosen source on the left, highlighting the chosen priority list entry on the right and clicking patch. When selecting a video source, the user should also select the specific video format being used from the central list. On startup, the system attempts to lock to the first entry in the priority list. If there is a problem with this source, the system moves down the list until a source is found that can be locked to. The 'current' column shows which of the sources the system is locked to. System Status error messages are generated for any sources that fail when the system attempts to lock to them. Once running and locked, the system will not automatically go back to a higher priority source if it becomes available. Clicking Reset to first instructs the system to go back through the list attempting to lock to the highest priority source it can find. This can be an important requirement for systems that get powered down as a whole, such as outside broadcast units, as sync generators can often take longer than the console to boot up. H20 Sync The Sync Sources page displays the sync settings for all consoles and router cores that have been added to H20's client database. If the console being configured does not exist in the client list on the left of the screen it should be added to the client database from the Manage Clients page (See H20 User Guide for more information). On the sync page, select any console or core from the clients list on the left to view their sync settings on the right. The right hand side of the screen acts the same as the main application, displaying the currently locked source, allowing the sources in the sync priority list to be changed and providing a 'reset to first' function. Changes made via H20 are reflected in the main application on the console they affect. Likewise, any subsequent changes made locally will be reflected by H20.

Setup & Configuration I/O CONFIGURATION The >Hydra Settings>Edit Network screen in the main application displays the available I/O boxes on the network. The left hand side of the screen shows all the I/O boxes that are online - powered, connected and functioning. I/O boxes that are required for use by the console should be added to the network config of that console by highlighting the required box on the left and clicking the Add>> button in the central area. The right hand side of the screen shows all the I/O boxes that have been added to that console's configuration. If a box that has been added is offline, it is displayed in the list in red font and denoted as 'Offline'. IO boxes no longer required, or added by mistake can be removed by highlighting them in the right hand required list and clicking the < EDIT NETWORK SCREEN

87 Assignable faders Each fader has an A and B sub-layer, which can be switched between by pressing the assign buttons above and below the fader's label display. The two sub-layers, A & B are not related by default and can control two distinct, unrelated audio paths. The upper half of the fader label display is green and refers to the A layer, the lower half is yellow and refers to the B layer. An open fader will remain open and passing audio after the layer is changed. Pressing the assign button above (A layer) or below (B layer) the label display makes it the currently assigned path and highlights it blue. Only one path (unless user splits are in place) can be the currently assigned path at any given time. Path specific changes are applied to the currently assigned path. For example, adjusting settings on an assignable panel in PROCESSING or SEND-ROUTE mode will affect the currently assigned (highlighted blue) path. In addition to A & B sub-layers, there are in fact a total of 12 fader layers, each with an A & B sub-layer. All layers and A/B sub-layers are active irrespective of which is currently visible. Fader layer is selected from the assign row (control cell row above the fader label row) of any panel. Assigning paths A or B layer faders with a blank label field have no DSP path assigned. Path assignment is achieved from the Tools>Fader Assignment menu (see the highlighted drawing to the right). Select New Channels to assign input channels. Three channel widths are currently supported - Mono, Stereo and 5.1. Pressing one of these buttons will assign that channel type to the currently assigned fader (as long as no path is already assigned on that fader).

To clear multiple paths, press and hold Clear Path whilst selecting the faders to clear before confirming by pressing Exec.

Setup & Configuration USING TONE Use of the console's internal oscillator helps to verify connectivity and configuration during installation. Tone can be selected to path inputs from the PROCESSING panel mode. The tone to input select button is located on the left side of the TFT screen. Selecting this switches tone onto the currently assigned path's input. Selecting the Tools>Oscillator menu on any panel brings up oscillator controls on the row above to allow adjustment of tone level, frequency and idents. The Tone Clear button in this menu will cancel all tone to path selections across the console. Select the Send / Route panel mode to route the currently assigned fader to bus outputs from the TFT touch screen above. Note, tone can only be selected to faders that have a DSP path assigned (see previous page).

89 MONITORING OUTPUT SETUP Artemis consoles do not have dedicated outputs for feeding monitors. Monitor outputs can be patched to any Hydra2 audio output port on the network. Monitor output patching is separated from other I/O patching as it generally remains fixed irrespective of operators and the shows being worked on. Patches made from the fixed I/O pages are saved as part of the show. Monitor outputs can be found on the >System Settings>Fixed I/O screen. Click on the Sources button at the top left of the screen to bring up the source lists available and select Monitor Outputs from the My Desk Outputs group to display the monitor output sources in the left hand list. The normal default monitor output is at the top of the list, labelled Mon1 Main LS. Other monitor sources that are likely to be of interest for initial setup are PFL1/RTB LS and Mon1 Small LS. PFL/RTB LS outputs carry the pre-fader listen bus mixed with any reverse talkback inputs that have been enabled. Mon1 Small LS is often a preferable way to monitor PFL which is routed to the small LS output by default. In changeover mode, the main monitor output is muted and instead sent to the small LS. Patching monitor outputs is similar to normal I/O patching - click on the destinations button above the right hand list and select the list containing the I/O ports that the monitor speakers are physically connected to from the Output Ports group. Select the specific port a speaker is connected to within that list by highlighting it on the blue column as shown in the adjacent screenshot. Select the required monitor output source on the left, again by highlighting in the blue column (as shown in the screenshot) and click patch. Once patched, the destination list should display the patched audio source. As well as the standard Main Mon LS1 and PFL outputs there are also Mon2 and APFL2 outputs that are independent for when multiple operators are using the same system simultaneously. A number of Misc Monitor outputs are also available and can be used to feed anywhere that needs an independent selector with a level control. One potential use for these can be to feed the analogue headphone inputs to the control surface. Speaker configuration The detailed setup of monitor systems should always follows the recommendations of the loudspeaker manufacturer. When surround monitor systems and others with a separate LFE or sub-bass channel are in use, it is often good practise to use a bass management system. Such controllers frequently provide not only for their primary function of optimising the speaker performance, but also individual level trim functions. The Calrec system itself does not provide level adjustments or delay for adjusting the individual channels within the monitor output. MAIN APPLICATION, SYSTEM SETTINGS > FIXED I/O

Setup & Configuration METERING SETUP Calrec TFT meters The high resolution upstand TFT metering can display fader input audio, bus output audio as well as external meters that display audio fed to chosen Hydra2 input ports. As well as audio, upstand meters can display dynamics' gain reduction. Audio data for the TFT meters (and fader bed bargraphs) is generated by DSP and sent to the control surface via the Control Processor to console Surface Switch link. TFT metering is customisable from the Main Application >Show Settings>Meter Layout screen. This screen shows one TFT meter panel at a time, different panels can be selected from the column on the left hand side of the screen. Selecting Grid allows the layout to be changed. Highlighting a meter cell and selecting Edit Meter brings up a choice of meters that can be displayed. Set Scale provides a choice of VU or PPM meter ballistics and scales. Once happy with the meter setup, it is transferred to the console by clicking Apply new layout to surface at the top right of the screen. The meter layout can also be saved as a Meter Layout Preset for later use, note that the meter layout is now saved with the show rather than a seperate file. The Meter Presets can be reloaded back into the layout screen and applied to the surface when required. Moving coil and third party meters Traditional PPM / VU moving coil meters and 3rd party meters such as RTW / DK surround scopes cannot access DSP meter data and need to be fed audio via the control surface rear interface. If required, this audio can be fed from Hydra2 output ports. This may be a fixed feed, such as Main1 Line, patched from the regular I/O page, or it can be a changeable source, patched from >System Settings>Fixed I/O. Under the sources>desk outputs group, as well as monitor outputs, there are also External Meter Outputs. Various sources are available in this list, including Mon LS Pre which outputs / follows the same audio as being monitored by the Main LS but pre the LS listening level control. Also available are Meter selectors 1-4. These are four selectors without level controls accessible on the monitor panel which have access to all the sources that the monitor LS does but independent of the LS selection. Meter selector outputs can also be displayed on Calrec TFT meters without patching them to Hydra2 outputs. MAIN APPLICATION - SHOW SETTINGS > METER LAYOUT SCREEN

91 The dedicated monitor panel on the control surface provides access to the commonly used monitoring controls. Access to the full set of monitor controls can be gained from any fader panel / up-stand TFT screen combination by selecting Monitor mode. The following page shows the assignable area of a fader panel / up-stand TFT combination in Monitor mode with important areas highlighted. Assignable area mode selection is chosen from the row of controls above the fader label displays. Use the down arrow buttons above the displays to select the desired mode. If the expected mode is not displaying, the panel is more than likely in Tools, or Layer Tools mode - Press Exit, or the Tools / Layer Tools button from the bottom right of the assignable area to return to the chosen mode. Ensure the panel is controlling the required output - Monitor 1 or Monitor 2 (control cell highlighted on the following page). Four pre-selectors determine the audio being monitored. Switch between the pre- selector sources by pressing the 'Hear' buttons. To select a different source on a pre-selector, press its' 'Sel' button to make it the focus of the selector panel on the TFT screen above. Selectable sources are separated into categories, chosen from the 'Selector Type' menu at the bottom of the TFT screen. A control cell on the dedicated monitor panel, to the left of the large yellow level control, shows the sources on each pre- selector and allows for switching between them without accessing the full monitor panel. MONITOR / METER SOURCE SELECTION In the full monitor panel mode, to the left of the 4 monitor pre-selectors are the 4 meter selectors. Press 'Sel' on the appropriate meter selector to change the source in the same way as for the monitor selectors. To the left of the Main monitor LS level control, on both the dedicated and full monitor panel is a Small LS control cell. By default, the Small LS outputs PFL audio. If Small LS C/O (Change-over) is selected, it will kill the main monitor output and instead send the selected audio to the small LS outputs, irrespective of whether the small LS is patched to physical output ports / speakers. Another control cell sets the listening level of PFL and AFL audio. Individual LS channel cuts provide a convenient way to check patching and connectivity.

93 INPUT & OUTPUT PORT PATCHING Regular Input and output port patching is similar to that of patching monitor outputs but done from the I/O screen of the main application and the patches are saved as part of the user memory. Note that the same input and output ports are available on the I/O screens as the Fixed I/O screens. Patches made from the Fixed I/O screen are visible on the I/O screens and denoted by the System Settings page icon. Likewise when viewing the Fixed I/O screen, patches made to ports from the I/O screen are visible and denoted by the jack icon used for the I/O page. The I/O screen shows sources on the left, and destinations on the right. To patch input ports to channel paths on faders, press Select Destination, then select Channel I/P's from the My Desk Inputs group. The destinations field now displays the faders on the console. From the Select Source button, the Input Ports contains the input port lists. If the port lists have not yet been edited, there will be a default list containing all ports, and a list for each I/O box labelled with the box ID. Highlight the chosen input port(s) on the left by clicking on the blue cell. Highlight the chosen fader by selecting the blue cell(s) and click patch to put the input port on the fader. Faders with no DSP path assigned cannot be patched to. To patch console output audio to Hydra2 output ports, press Select Source and choose My Desk Outputs. Select the required output port list from the Output Ports group of the Select Destination menu. Again, patching is achieved by highlighting the blue source cell, the blue destination cell and clicking patch. Select Source Patch Change source list / source type Change destination list / destination type Change fader layer Select Destination

Setup & Configuration TALKBACK AND EXTERNAL TONE All Calrec consoles have a comprehensive talkback system to allow operators to talk over output buses and channel direct outputs / mix-minus outputs. An XLR on the up-stand reset panel provides a convenient location to mount the supplied gooseneck microphone. This is wired internally to an XLR on the console rear interface. To use this as part of the console's talkback system it should be connected to a Hydra2 mic input. If the console talkback system is not going to be used, the mic can be wired into an external comms system if it is convenient, i.e. for use as a hot-mic or in conjunction with a foot switch, or an assignable monitor panel button patched to GPO. The Hydra2 input port with the mic connected should be patched to the talkback input from the >System Settings>Fixed I/O>Select Destination>My Desk Inputs>Tone & TB screen - The top entry in this list is the Talkback mic input. The same screen allows for patching of reverse talkback and external tone inputs. Audio from Hydra2 inputs patched as reverse talkback is sent to the PFL/RTB LS outputs. Ports patched as external tone inputs replace the consoles internal tone generator when the oscillator controls from panel tools mode are set to external. Ports are patched in the same way as normal I/O - View the appropriate port list using the select source button, then select the required source on the left by highlighting the blue cell. Select the destination on the right, again by selecting the blue cell, and then click patch from the central area. Additional fields on the right allow the switching of SRC, phantom power and analogue input gain, dependant on the type of input port patched. MAIN APPLICATION - SYSTEM SETTINGS > FIXED I/O

95 GPIO assignment is achieved from the >Hydra Settings>GPI & GPO pages. Select the GPO page to patch functions to GP output relays. The left-hand side of the screen shows the functions available to patch. Click on the functions button at the top of the list to view different function types by group. The relay outputs are shown on the right and the list can be filtered by I/O box using the Filter button. To make an assignment, highlight the function and the relay, and then click patch. The Test button allows each relay to be triggered to check wiring. GP inputs are assigned from the GPI screen in a similar way. The inputs are shown on the left and can be filtered by I/O box. The functions to be triggered are on the right and are split in to groups by function type, selectable from the Filter Functions button. GPIO patching is saved as part of the show, rather than in each user memory. ASSIGNING GPIO MAIN APPLICATION - HYDRA SETTINGS > GPO PATCHING SCREEN

Setup & Configuration USER CONTROL LOGGING SETUP The requirement for comprehensive control change logging, has been provided to allow after-the-fact analysis of production problems. Basically the system captures control data and attaches a timestamp to establish when various controls changes were applied by the operator on Apollo, Artemis and Summa Consoles and puts the results into a logging file. The logging file is held on the MCS cards and requires the following entry to be added to the Studio Setup File as shown below:- Once the User Logs are created on the MCS cards they can be opened using a Web-Browser which initially displays a Directory of User Logs. When the required log a selected log is accessed a timestamped Table of Control data appears for further analysis. As well as memory, preset, fader open/close, path copy/paste,time, CSCP and Path events, logging is implemented for as many of the desk controls listed below as possible.. These are shown in a list of Path Controls on the following pages. Those marked as (U) are unavailable and indicate that either the control was not available or that the control does not exist.. Filtered events (F) will only be filtered when showing absolute values ('set to') but not when showing changes i.e. ('modified by'). ####################################################################################### ##################### # User Logging # ####################################################################################### ##################### # set to ‘true’ if wanting to enable user logging i.e. 'UserLoggingEnabled = true' (if commented out or # missing it will default to false) UserLoggingEnabled = true # The time between file updates in seconds e.g 'UserLoggingFileUpdatePeriod = 5' Minimum value is 1 second # (if commented out, missing or too low it will default to 1 sec). Note that this also affects the refresh # period of the shaft and fader level logging so, if you want more resolution on fader movement, then make # this number smaller, or bigger if you want less fader/shaft messages UserLoggingFileUpdatePeriod = 1 # Clock time when the current logging file is closed and a new one is started. Format is 24 hour format # hour:minutes e.g. 'UserLoggingFileRolloverTime = 08:04' (if commented out or missing it will default to # 00:00). Range is 00:00 to 23:59 UserLoggingFileRolloverTime = 00:00 # The maximum disk space on the Master Controller card to allocate to the logging files in MB. When this # space is exceeded, older files shall be deleted e.g 'UserLoggingFileFolderMaxStorage = 5' (if commented # out or missing it will default to 10 MB). It is up to the user to put in sensible values here but, as a # guide, 100MB would be much much more than you ever needed. UserLoggingFileFolderMaxStorage = 10 # You can filter out event types that are logged by adding them to the following list where: # 0 = PATH_CONTROL_EVENT # 1 = DESK_CONTROL_EVENT (fader section and panel events) # 2 = MEMORY_EVENT # 3 = PRESET_EVENT # 4 = TIME_EVENT # 5 = FADER_OPENCLOSE_EVENT # 6 = PATH_COPYPASTE_EVENT # 7 = CSCP_EVENT # So, for example, if you only wanted Path and fader open/close events but wanted to know when a logged fader # event might be caused by CSCP then you would use: 'UserLoggingIncludeEvents = 1,2,3,4,6'. If not present # then all events are enabled # UserLoggingFilterEvents = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 # Note: User logs can be found in /home/MasterControl/Jetty/webapps/root/UserLogs and are accessible by the # user from a web browser at :8080/UserLogs e.g. 192.178.1.0:8080/UserLogs STUDIO SETUP FILE - USER CONTROL LOGGING SECTION
