Component Overview

Functional Description

System 5 includes three types of rack mount computers that manage communications among

several of the System 5 sub components. The three types are designated Studio Computer

(SC261), Digital Pilot (PC253i), and Interface Pilot (PC253d). Each type has a specific configuration

and function within System 5. All are interconnected on a 100T full duplex network via the EuCon

Network and Hub.

SC261 Studio Computer

The Studio Computer runs the eMix software on a NT platform and is equipped with a mouse,

keyboard, and video monitor. Use this computer station for non real time audio functions such as

setting system configuration parameters, patching signal paths, file management, and backups.

System configuration information is communicated to other System 5 components via the EuCon

network.

PC253d Digital Pilot

The Digital Pilot(s) receive control information from the individual System 5 Control Modules.

This information is then used to manipulate the digital audio which passes through the DF64 Digital

Frame(s). Control Module signals are passed to the Digital Pilot(s) via the EuCon Hub over a RJ45

network cable. The Digital Pilot translates the incoming Ethernet signal into high speed IEEE1394

protocol which is used to control audio parameters in the DF64. One Digital Pilot is required for

each DF64 Digital Frame.

PC253i Interface Pilot

The Interface Pilot manages communications between the System 5 Control Surface Modules

and the Monitor Interface, Mic-Line Interface, MIDI Interface, and TT-007 Machine Control module.

Control Module signals are passed to the Interface Pilot via the EuCon Hub over a RJ45 network

cable. The Interface Pilot controls parameters in the Monitor Interface, Mic-Line Interface, MIDI

Interface, and TT-007.

Features

The Studio Computer, Digital Pilot , and Interface Pilot are high speed Pentium II computers in a

2 RU brushed aluminum cases.

Typical Use

The Studio & Pilot computers ARE NOT PROVIDED AS A GENERAL COMPUTER TOOLS. Do

not run third party software on any of the System 5 computers (unless specified or included by

Euphonix). Euphonix does not guarantee correct and reliable operation of System 5 under such

circumstances.
