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 aftersales 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.

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

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,

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.

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.

During surface reset, all POE's & Surface
Switches reboot and power is momentarily
dropped to all panels forcing them to
reboot. 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.
CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 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.

supplies for redundancy and take two
AC inputs, one from each of the first
two mains sources. The majority of the

including the PC is DC powered via POE
connections.
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.
CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 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 &

CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 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.

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.
3
rd
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 3
rd
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

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. Minimum
requirements for the PC are listed below.

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

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.

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.

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
