Euphonix SH612 Studio Hub User Guide
Chapter 1: Getting Started
1.1 Introduction to the SH612
The SH612 provides the central point from which to send MADI and synchronization
signals in System 5 and R-1 configurations. Since each SH612 is configured and installed by Euphonix for use with the R-1 and/or System 5, you will not often need to
modify most of its parameters. This User Guide provides a technical reference for the
SH612 but will not cover system hookup in general (see the System 5 Technical Over-
view in your manual binder).
All SH612 functions can be controlled from its front panel or through a software interface connected to System 5 or R-1. The SH612:
• provides the master clock signal for all digital audio components;
• routes and merges the 28-channel, 48 kHz MADI output streams from all
connected digital audio devices and transmits them to the DF64 (System 5) or
AudioDeck (R-1) MADI inputs as 56- or 28-channel MADI streams. At
96 kHz, signals are not merged but simply transmitted to the DF64.
1.1.1 Features
The SH612’s sync sources, sample rates, and sample rate modes are listed in Table 1-1.

Euphonix SH612 Studio Hub User Guide Getting Started
Synchronization signals are distributed via four AES Sync (AES/EBU), Word Clock,
video, or MTC outputs to System 5 or R-1 components. The SH612 can generate or
lock to Time code, or convert between different formats. All standard time code rates
are supported:
• Film: 24 fps
• PAL/SECAM: 25 fps
• Color NTSC: 29.97 (drop and non-drop)
• black and white video rate
• MIDI sequencers: 30 fps (drop and non-drop)
The SH612 routes digital audio via 12 MADI In and 12 MADI Out ports, each with the
capacity to receive or transmit up to 56 channels (up to 24-bit, 48 kHz). For sample
rates exceeding 50 kHz, each MADI channel can carry only 28 digital audio channels.
1.1.2 Power On Sequence
Attach the provided IEC-compatible power cable to the IEC inlet. Connect the other
end to a wall outlet with appropriate plug adapter if necessary. The SH612 power supply automatically adjusts to any voltage in the range 110–240 V.
We recommend powering up the SH612 before the digital devices to which it is connected. The SH612 conducts a brief self-test routine upon power-up and displays the
firmware revision number. When the Main Menu is displayed, power up the attached
converters.
NOTE: Please refer to the power up routine for System 5 before attempting to power the
DF64 Digital Frames and the Pilot Computers.
1.2 MADI Connections for the R-1
These are the standard MADI connections for the R-1:
• MADI Ports 1–4 are for converter or I/O devices
• MADI Port 7 is for AudioDeck 1
• MADI Port 8 is for AudioDeck 2
• MADI Port 9 is for AudioDeck 3
• MADI Port 10 is for AudioDeck 4
• MADI Ports 5, 6, 11, and 12 are for additional MADI devices that require a
custom route to be used with the R-1 (see Section 3.1.5 - MADI Routing Menu).

Euphonix SH612 Studio Hub User Guide Getting Started
1.3 AES Sync
AES Sync signals originate from the SH612. AES Sync signals can be looped a maximum
of four times. If additional AES signals are required, use an AES distribution amplifier.
The four AES sync outputs on the SH612 deliver AES sync to:
• The FC631 card on the DF64(s)
• AM713(s) and DM714(s)
• MA703(s) and MD704(s)
• Other devices that accept AES Sync whose sample rate needs to be locked to
the System 5 sample rate.

with an AES Sync input.
• Attach the provided yellow XLR cable from one of the AES Sync Out connectors
on the SH612 to the AES Sync In of the MA703 or MD704. Daisy chain this
connection to other MA703(s) or MD704(s).
• Attach the provided yellow XLR cable from one of the AES Sync Out connectors
on the SH612 to the AES Sync In of other devices with AES Sync inputs
whose sample clocks must be locked to System 5 (i.e., the R-1).
• The Word Clock output of the SH612 can also be used to sync to an external
device or group of devices using daisy chain cabling.
NOTE: The AES Thru port on the Euphonix converters is always active. If daisy chained de-
vices are powered off, downstream devices will lose sync.

96, 48, and 44.1 (kHz) represent the nominal sample rates. The Custom LED illuminates
to indicate other rates within the range 31–100 kHz.
The Pull-Up or Pull-Down LEDs illuminate when the sample rate is set to a Pull-Up
or Pull-Down rate of one of the three nominal or Custom rates.
The Dual Ref LED illuminates to indicate that the time code and sample rate clock
sources for the SH612 each reference a separate external signal. This means that synchronization must be accomplished externally to the SH612 or the signals may drift.
The SH612’s response to drift varies depending on the mode. Drift is allowed in the
Jam Continuous (1% only) and Jam Once modes. It is only in either of these two
modes that the Dual Ref LED lights. In all other cases the LED is not lit.
The TC Lock LED indicates time code lock status:
• Solid LED: Locked to valid time code signal
• Flashing LED: No lock because expected time code signal not present
• Unlit LED: SH612 is generating internal time code

Each button corresponds to the physical MADI input/output port of the same number.
The SH612 software detects the physical MADI ports connected upon startup and continuously monitors all MADI input ports to detect valid MADI signals. If the SH612
detects MADI input port activity, it lights the corresponding key (bright-solid). If
MADI signal activity is not detected or is not valid, the key lights dim-solid.

Time Code Mode
The SH612 has three time code outputs: VITC, LTC, MTC. The time code outputs always represent the current time of the SH612.
Generate - This is the default mode for the SH612. Time code is internally generated,
routed to the time code outputs, and sample-rate-resolved.
External - With this setting the SH612 is locked to an external time code source and
generates the received time code position information at its outputs. This setting corresponds to the Slave key on the R-1 Remote.
External Varispeed - This feature is available only on SH612s configured for R-1
systems.
Time Code Offset
Time Code Offset is only relevant when the SH612 is slaved to an external device or an
external device is slaved via LTC from the R-1. The R-1 does not output offset Timecode. The Time Code Offset can be positive or negative, and range from 1 frame to
23:59:59:29. A negative offset is subtracted from the Time Code Source value; a positive Offset is added to the Time Code Source value. The equation for Current Time is:
TC Current Time = TC Source +/- TC Offset
The Time Code Offset defaults to 00:00:00:00 unless specifically set by the user.
To set the offset:
1. Use the left/right arrow keys to position the cursor under each of four doubledigit fields.
2. Use the SpinKnob to set the desired number.
3. To create a negative offset, position the cursor under the + sign and use the
SpinKnob to change to the minus sign.
Jam Sync Mode
Jam Once - Locks when time code is first received and runs independent of incoming
time code thereafter.
Jam Continuous - Locks continuously to incoming time code and resynchronizes
whenever necessary.
23
Euphonix SH612 Studio Hub User Guide Menu Reference and Technical Specifications
Time Code Free Wheel Duration
When the incoming time code signal is interrupted, the SH612 continues to generate
time code while it checks for the resumption of incoming time code within the period
specified in the Time Code Freewheel Duration setting. If the time code source resumes before the Time Code Freewheel Duration, the SH612 checks to see if the difference between the current time code source frame value and the time code output
frame value is within 1% deviation.
• If the difference is less than or equal to 1%, the SH612 resynchronizes to the
new time code source without interrupting time code or sample rate lock.
• If the difference exceeds 1%, the SH612 drops time code and sample rate lock
and locks to the new time code position.
Drift Warning Threshold
Specifies the amount of drift that triggers the drift warning (1–100 frames).
LTC Output Gain
Specifies the output level of LTC in the range -2 to +10 dBv.

To create a route:
1. Press the MADI port button corresponding to the port to route to or from.
The Add Route submenu appears displaying the input and output ports and
channels. You can also locate to the Add Route Menu through the menu system.
In: [1: 1 - 56] To Out: [1: 1- 56]
2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor under the number to adjust and the
SpinKnob to adjust the number.
3. Press Select to finalize the route.
NOTE: The SH612 does not provide visual confirmation of the active routes so you must check
that the route was correct by looking at the meters on the R-1 or System 5 console.
MADI Port Definitions
This parameter can specify each MADI port for AudioDeck (R-1) or non-AudioDeck
(System 5) connections. For the R-1 version 3, the MADI port definitions (AudioDeck
vs. non-AudioDeck) are saved as part of a user routing preset and are not Global settings.
If you change your port definitions, you need to update existing user presets with the
new settings.
Edit Route
Modifies the mapping of MADI input ports to output ports.
Add Route
Press Select to display:
In: [1: 1 - 56] To Out: [1: 1- 56]
Use the arrow keys to move between the In/Out port numbers and the SpinKnob to set
the port number.
NOTE: Edit Route, Add Route, Recall Routing Matrix, and Store Routing Matrix are available
only for SH612s configured for the R-1. These options are not available for SH612s
configured for System 5.
Store Routing Matrix
Stores up to 20 frequently used custom routes for instant recall.

3.1.7 Transport
Used with the R-1, the Transport menu converts the SH612 front panel menu controls
into Transport controls. This allows the SH612 to send Machine Control commands to
other devices. This feature is not implemented for use with System 5.
The R-1 must be set to receive Machine Control commands from the SH612 and Machine Control must be turned on. Two menus provide different controls.
The first menu has:
• Stop: Menu marked by a square; controlled by the Info button
• Forward Play: Menu marked by a single right arrow; controlled by the button
with a single, right arrow
• Reverse Play: Menu marked by a single left arrow; controlled by the button
with a single, left arrow
The second menu has:
• Stop: Menu marked by a square; controlled by the Info button
• Forward Shuttle: Menu marked by a double, right arrow; controlled by the
button with a single, right arrow
• Reverse Shuttle: Menu marked by a double, left arrow; controlled by the button with a single, left arrow
In the top of each menu the time and play/ stop /shuttle status is shown.
