37. 1 Overview System Concept diagram Digital and Analogue I O Racks Control Console Control Console Compared with traditional console designs the OXF R3 offers greater flexibility within more compact dimensions by using an assignable control surface Modular Control Surface The control surface of the OXF R3 makes extensive use of assignable panels to provide console of manageable size for either one or two operators whilst giving greatly increased functionality The current system 18 capable of controlling up to 96 full channels 12 stereo return channels The modular system divides functionally into the master section located in the centre and the channel sections located either side of the master section Signal Processing SP Rack The SP rack is designed to use the minimum number of signal processing cards depending on the system size A high level Software Design Tools System is used to generate automatically the low level software microcode which runs the SP system Data links to and from the control console are via Ethernet connections whilst a MADI interface is used between the SP rack and the I O racks Additional bandwidth available within the signal is used to pass data for purposes such as remote control of analogue amplifier gain Digital and Analogue Racks The VO racks are designed to be located close to the equipment with which they interface Each I O rack can contain a mix of up to 5
