5 Key Features

Download

You can download a PDF-file with the functional range of all Series 52 Core devices directly from the following link:

xc_xd_xs_core_functional_range.pdf

The Series 52 Mixing Console 52/DX has been designed to be an easy-to-use tool for a broad range of TV and radio broadcasting applications. With its 4 faders and its compact table top design, it is ideal for OnAir, in the OB van, for News, Edit- and Ingest Stations.

The 52/DX uses a special real-time operation system running in the 52/XS Core. There is no PC-based system inside and it works completely without any PC.

The configuration software runs on standard Windows(TM) based PCs. However, this PC is not required to run the 52/DX from day to day – it is only needed for setting it up.

A Series 52 Mixing Console 52/DX remotely controls the processing power of a 52/XS core via TCP/IP. The combination of the proved and reliable DSP power of an 52/XS Core provides you with a great variety of features.

The configuration of the console is realised via a simplified version of the well-proven DHD Toolbox5, called DXConfig. The 52/DX allows to make use of the established DHD-PC software products: DSP-Control-Software, Remote-Control-Software, Snapshot-Manager, Snapshot-Server. A XS Core extended feature upgrade licence provides Toolbox5 configuration capability like other Series 52 products.

Series 52 - 52/DX Compact Mixing Console Manual

In the following table you can find the type and number of interfaces, which are available on each XC Analog I/O/GPIO module 52-7223:

6.2.5 DeviceLink

To exchange audio signals directly between two XS cores, you can connect them directly by a shielded CAT5 or CAT6 cable on an APC port on each XS core.

Each DeviceLink connection can send and receive 48 audio channels at the same time. This connection does not transmit any control signals.

6.3 Control modules

The control module is the interface between the user and the functions of the mixing system. The 52/DX control modules has an integrated TFT Display. Due to it is sensitive to touch, you can design views with buttons to control functions via the TFT displays.

The control module consists of control elements – such as faders, hardware keys, TFT buttons, rotary knobs – and status indicators. These are for example LEDs inside the keys, or defined parts of TFT views. Some typical applications for displaying information to the user are:

· LEDs showing the PFL status for a given channel.

· An alphanumeric display shown on the TFT shows, which input signal is selected for a given channel.

· LEDs inside the keys are switched on or off to indicate the state of the key.

Specifications and design are subject to change without notice. The content of this document is for information only.

No liability will be accepted by the publisher for any consequence of its use. Publication thereof does neither convey nor imply any license under patent rights or other industrial or intellectual property rights.

Components

The control module is tightly integrated with the control engine. It collects all events from the faders, rotary knobs and buttons and sends back the information into the status indicators and displays.

To make configuration easier, the software allows to print out labels for the keys of the control module. These labels are slid under the key caps. If necessary, they can be changed again later to reflect changes in the configuration of the system.

To print the key labels follow these steps:

port of the 52/XS Core to the configuration PC or to the DHD Ethernet network, where the PC with the configuration software is located. To establish the connection to the office network, you should use a server PC with a second network interface card to avoid slowing down the communication in the DHD network and to block non-authorised access to the connected DHD systems. Please use shielded CAT5 cables continuous for wiring. But DHD recommends to use shielded CAT6 cables for longer distances.

Use only switches in the DHD network, which are shipped and/or recommended by DHD for the usage in this network. Especially the switches must be unmanaged switches working with a speed of 100 Mbit/s.

The following non-PoE switches are tested by DHD and are recommended for the usage in DHD Ethernet networks:

9 Usage of USB audio on 52-1330

The 52-1330 has two USB audio ports. Each port can be used to connect a personal computer with the Multi-I/O Box of the 52/DX for input and output of a stereo signal.

Connected to a PC, each USB audio port is recognised as an USB audio device, which can be used for playback and recording in every audio software. You don't need any device driver for the device, standard windows audio driver are used.

There are two options to use the USB audio port. Option 1 - Each USB audio port is connected to a separate PC and option 2 - both USB audio ports are connected to a single PC. You can find more information about these two options in the following sections.

9.1 Option 1 - Each USB connected to a seperate PC

21

In this case, each USB audio port is connected to a separate PC.

Two PCs, each connected to an USB audio port of the 52-1330.

The following operation systems are supported for this option:

· Microsoft™ Windows™ 98SE/Windows Me (For Windows 98SE and Windows Me, the HID function is not fully functional

with the default class driver.)

· Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

· Microsoft Windows XP Home/Professional (For Windows XP, use the latest version of the USB audio driver available

from the Windows Internet site, or apply Service Pack 1 or later.

· Microsoft Windows Vista™ Business

· Microsoft Windows 7™ Professional

To use the USB audio input or output, just connect one of the USB audio ports of the 52-1330 with an empty USB port on your PC. Please use a standard USB cable for this connection. The USB audio port will be identified as an "USB Audio CODEC" in windows.

9.2 Option 2 - Both USB connected to single PC

In this case, the two USB audio ports are connected to a single PC.

If you want to connect the device directly to the configuration PC with an ethernet cable, a twisted ethernet patch cable (X-cable, cross cable) has to be used. Assign static IP addresses on both sides (no DHCP). The first 3 bytes of the address must be identical, the last byte must differ, like the following example:
