SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Merlin is the first of a new generation of disk based multitrack recorders from Fairlight.
The system marries together an advanced user interface with the technology of the latest
generation of digital audio workstation in a combination that has a significant impact on
productivity and efficiency.

The Merlin interface incorporates a dedicated editing Console with a unique graphical user
interface. These tools allow the operator to work quickly and efficiently without impeding the
creativity of the recording and editing process, and can now be fully utilized in the
professional audio suite. The Merlin offers a number of unique benefits through its
adaptation of DSP and proprietary technology to the audio environment.

For a more detailed explanation of the Merlin, please refer to the Merlin User Manual.

1.2 MANUAL SUMMARY

The purpose of this manual is to provide all the technical information required to design a
suitable installation for the Merlin system and to fit and connect the units. It is assumed that
the installer is familiar with both analog and digital audio signals. For full operational
instructions please refer to the Merlin User Manual.

10

1.3 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Merlin is made up of four interconnecting components, the Merlin Console and
external power supply, a Flat Screen Display Monitor and a Engine rack mounted unit which

1.6 STATIC PRECAUTIONS

Please take note that all Fairlight manufactured electronic modules are static sensitive and
should be handled under anti static conditions. When working on a system always ensure that
you have an anti static lead connected and that the system is connected to ground through an
earth lead.

Never work on the system while powered up unless you are authorized by Fairlight to do
so. As a matter of practice always touch the external chassis of the system before opening the
front panel. If cards are not handled under anti static procedures your machine may sustain
damage which could either cause a complete failure or may cause intermittent crashes and
subsequential system failure.

When handling cards please ensure that they are placed in anti static bags when not in the
system. For shipment purposes electronic modules should be placed in an anti static bag and
then suitably surrounded with loose packaging materials in a solid card board box. Cards
shipped to Fairlight without the correct anti static packaging will have their warranty voided. If
you have any enquiries on this matter please feel free to contact your local Fairlight office or
distributor.

1.7 ENVIRONMENT

The system is designed to be operated in a clean air-conditioned environment. Generally,
an area comfortable for people ( 20°C - 21°C ) should be suitable. The rack mounted units and
disk drives, use fans for ventilation. Users may find it desirable to install these units away
from the operator/console location. Note that cable lengths, as detailed in Section 2.5 -
External Cable Length Considerations, should be taken into account when planning the
installation.

Make sure that the rack units can access cool air through the opening on the front of the
Engine and expel warm air from the back. As with all computer systems, the Fairlight will
operate more reliably if static generating floor coverings are avoided.

Do not fit the Engine into a closed environment except where ducted cool air is forced
through the Rack. Do not run the Engine whilst it is on the ground as it will accumulate dust,
which may eventually cause a failure.

The Engine unit is normally installed in a suitable 19" rack which is at least 600 mm deep,
or has an open back section. It is recommended that external hard drives be mounted on a
rack tray, above or below the Engine, using the shortest possible cables to prevent SCSI bus
corruption.

Please Avoid:

 Fitting the Engine where air circulation will be restricted.

 Installing Engine close to heat sources.

 Installing in dusty or damp area.

 Installing in area subject to vibration.

 Installing in area with strong magnetic or electric fields

13

SECTION 2 - ENGINE PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

The Engine unit, takes up 8 RU, when fitted into a 19" rack. It operates from either 100­120v or 200-250v, 50-60Hz with the mains inputs being auto- switching, as such there are no
switches to be set. At least two people are required to fit the Engine into a 19" rack as the unit
is quite heavy. If available it is suggested that a third person be made available for the initial
installation into the rack, such that a person can guide the Engine into the rack, from the rear.

The Engine should be fitted so that there is no restrictions to the ventilation, at the rear of
the unit. If external SCSI devices are to be connected it is recommended that these be placed
on a rack tray above or below the Engine.

It should be noted that typically the Engine unit is fitted with a boot drive with SCSI I.D. " 0
"( although the boot drive can be at any ID ). The Engine uses fans for its forced ventilation
system, these generate an amount of ambient noise. As stated before the Engine should be
located in an air conditioned machine room away from the studio and other heat generating
equipment.

1 Install the Engine into a 19" Rack unit. Once this is done, the front facia of the Engine must
be removed to allow 8 retaining screws to be fitted.

2 To mount the Engine into the rack, remove the front dress panel and insert 4 retaining
screws on to both the left and right rack mounts. Once this is done reattach the front dress
panel.

2.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The Engine is designed to run from a single phase power source with one of its current
carrying conductors at or near ground earth ground potential ( the neutral conductor). Only
the line (live) conductor is fused for over-current protection. Systems that have both current
carrying conductors live with respect to ground , such as phase-to-phase in multi-phase
systems are not recommended as power sources.

It is recommended that both the Engine and Console are connected to the same electrical
supply or ring main which ideally should be regulated and smoothed. If the power source is
likely to be unexpectedly cut then both the units should be fed from a backed up power source
such as a UPS.

For Power Requirements, see Appendix A21 at the back of this Manual.

Mains connections should be fitted with the appropriate type of plug. See Section “Mains
Plugs & Power Cords” at the front of this Manual.

15

2.3 ENGINE REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

The Engine rear is split into two distinct sections; the System I/O Panel, located to the right

and the Audio I/O section, located to the left.

The System I/O Panel contains all the synchronization needed to allow communication

with external devices including RS-422, Midi, LTC, AES Sync, Serial and GPIO.

To allow communication with other Fairlight products including Fame and Prodigy, a

Mixer port is provided.

To allow comunication with the Merlin Console, a Controller port is provided.

The System I/O Panel also contains the VGA Output, Word Clock and Video sync In

connectors.

The Audio I/O Section can contain up to a maximum of 4 QDC cards, which perform all

analog and digital I/O Connections and Processing.

Each QDC card can contain a maximum of :-

 16 Analog Inputs and 32 Analog Outputs

or a maximum of :-

 32 Digital Inputs and Outputs

 16 Analog Inputs.

Depending on what configuration is ordered, the system can allow for more QDC cards to
be configured. Please contact your local Fairlight office or Distributor for further information
regarding the maximum inputs and outputs which can be configured within the system.

Please refer to the Appendix page 53 for further details on the Audio I/O and System I/O
Panels.

16

The interconnecting cables suppled as standard may not be long enough for your
installation, in which case you must provide longer cables. The following information gives
specific wiring details and highlights any special requirements, however as with all equipment
not supplied with the Merlin system, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that these
cables comply fully with the applicable safety and EMC regulations.

2.4 CABLING

Once the mechanical installation of the Engine is complete, a number of cables must be
connected. Some of these connect various components together and may have been supplied
with the Merlin system, others provide connection to the rest of the environment.

17

2.5 EXTERNAL CABLE LENGTH CONSIDERATIONS

Poor cabling can be the bane of a good system. Earth loops, floating inputs and outputs

and extended runs are just some of the issues to be addressed when planning an installation.

2.5.1 MERLIN CONTROL CABLE

The Merlin Control Cable connects the Merlin Console to the Engine. The cable carries
RS232, RS422 and MIDI signals and is limited to a maximum length of 30 meters, providing
correct attention is paid to signal pairing using twisted pair cable. Ensure sufficient slack is left
at the Console end to ensure movement of the Console does not cause undue stress on the
connector, or cause the connector to partially disconnect, which can damage the serial
drivers. When fitting or reconnecting the cable ensure that power is off at either the Engine or
the Console.

2.5.2 SONY 9-PIN CABLE

The 9-Pin cable connects the Engine to a Sony 9-pin protocol machine. The recommended
maximum length for this cable is 30 meters. Again it is recommended that the power be
switched off at one end when connecting to protect the drivers.

2.5.3 VGA CABLE

The Video cable connects the VGA output from the Engine to the attached Monitor. It is a
15-way shielded 50 Ohm cable with high density D-type connectors at each end. A maximum
length of 20 meters is typical.

2.5.4 AUDIO CABLE

Standard shielded audio cable is suitable.

2.5.6 DIGITAL AUDIO CABLES

Digital cables connected to the Engine system must be of the correct 110 Ohm impedence.

18

2.6 CONNECTING THE VARIOUS SYSTEM COMPONENTS

1 Once cabling issues have been dealt with the various system connections need to be

made.

2 Connect an IEC Power lead to the back of the Engine.

3 Connect the 15 way D connector of a Video cable to VGA 1 connector on the System I/

O Panel on the rear of the Engine.

4 Connect the Console Controller cable to the connector on the System I/O panel

located on the rear of the Engine.

5 Connect any external SCSI drives to the external SCSI card (if fitted) and ensure that

the last device is terminated. Ensure that the SCSI I.D.'s are not in conflict with each other.

6 Connect all Synchronization cables such as LTC, Word clock, Video Black burst etc.

7 Connect all audio input and output cables to the QDC cards located on the rear of the

Engine.

5 Connect the Keyboard cable to the Keyboard socket on the back of the Merlin

Console.

6 Once all connections have been made to the Console, it can be powered up safely, by

pressing the switch located on the back panel.

3.3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The Power Supply unit is an auto ranging unit which will take any input voltage from 100 to
250VAC using a standard IEC mains cable. As there are no mains switches on the power
supply it should be plugged into a switched mains outlet. The output from the PSU is 12DV,
fed to the console via an 8 pin mini DIN connector. As the output lead is fairly short, the PSU
should be located close to the close.

A small LED indicator illuminates when the supply is on.

3.3.1 MERLIN CONTROL CABLE

The Merlin Control Cable connects the Merlin Console to the Engine unit. The cable carries
RS232, RS422 and MIDI signals and is limited to a maximum length of 30 meters, providing
correct attention is paid to signal pairing using twisted pair cable. Ensure sufficient slack is left
at the Console end to ensure movement of the Console, does not cause undue stress on the
connector, or cause the connector to partially disconnect, which can damage the serial
drivers. When fitting or reconnecting the cable ensure that power is off at either the Engine or
the Console.

CAUTION : 1. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER POWER SUPPLY TO POWER THE CONSOLE.

2. DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE CONSOLE WITH THE MAINS

POWER TURNED ON.

21

Additional 3.5” Drive Bay

3.6 INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SCSI DEVICES

The Engine unit has been designed to accept two 3.5 Inch drives and 2 5.5” drive bays
internally which can take either Kingston Technology drive enclosures or an Exabyte
enclosure. The system typically comes configured with one system disk which contains the
O/S9 Operating System and Merlin software. This allows for 3 media drives to be fitted
internally in the system.

With a second SCSI Controller installed within the Engine an additional 7 SCSI devices
can be attached externally.

Typically Exabyte drives should be set to ID “5” when connected on either SCSI Buss.

Optical based devices should be set to ID “3”. When connected on either SCSI bus.

It is recommended that a rack tray be fitted either above or below the Engine to hold
external SCSI devices. The last device on the chain should be terminated with all other
devices being looped through. The cables should be the shortest length possible to avoid
SCSI bus corruption.

5.1.1 WIDE BASED DISK DRIVES

The Ultra Wide single ended SCSI specification is used within the internal and external SCSI
busses. This allows for ultra fast transfers speeds from a disk drive up to 40 megabytes a
second.

The SCSI controller comes configured with a single ended 68 Pin configuration connector.

Only a Fairlight supplied SCSI Controller can be installed and configured with the Engine.

When using narrow based disk drives along the SCSI buss the Engine must be configured
for Narrow use only.

All cabling to SCSI devices must be kept as short as possible. The maximum length for the
entire buss must not exceed more than 1.5 meters. It is highly recommended that drive
enclosures with an active backplane be used to reduce cable lengths.

Some disks have SCSI terminating resistors in place and these should be checked and
resistors removed when extra disks are being added to the system.

The last disk drive at the end of the chain must be terminated using an active
terminator.Lower transfer rates and SCSI errors will result if the buss is not correctly
terminated.

SCSI I.D.'s can be 0 through to 6. SCSI I.D. 7 is reserved for the SCSI controller.

5.1.2 NARROW BASED DISK DRIVES

Narrow Based SCSI Disk Drives may be attached to the buss but must always be the last in
the chain after any Wide disks are connected.

A quality 68 pin to 50 pin Adaptor must be used when connecting from the SCSI buss to a
narrow disk drive.

The end of the Buss must be terminated using an active SCSI terminator plugged into the
last drive in the chain.

28

5.1.2 CONFIGURING THE ENGINE FOR NARROW USE

Connect disk drives to external SCSI buss port.

Power on the disk drives and Engine

When the BIOS screen appears PRESS THE SPACE BAR, before the -

“Press Key To Display Boot Menu” Countdown ends.

Under Booting Procedure press RC and press Enter .

A message should appear next on screen asking

“Do you want to use the recommendedNVRAM Configuration” PRESS N

Press C then Enter - to “Reconfigure The System Setup”

Press Return untill the cursor has moved down to the 11 th line -

Slot 1 SCSI Wide........

At this point you will need to know which PCI slot the SCSI Controller Card has been fitted

in. Looking at the Merlin Engine from the rear will show which slot the card is in -

 Slot 1 is the top most slot

 Slot 2 is the middle slot

 Slot 3 is the Bottom slot

Use the Enter key on the Console Keyboard to move down the list to the correct

slot.

Next press 0 on the Console Keyboard to change from Wide to Narrow use.

Then Press Enter untill the following message appears on screen

“Enter the NVRAM Section you wish to Update”

Select Q and then press Enter.

A message will appear -

“NVRAM Configuration is complete ....System will now restart”

Press Return on the Console Keyboard.

The configuration is now complete.

29

5.1.3 MIXING WIDE AND NARROW DISK DRIVES

Wide and Narrow based disk drives can be mixed on the same SCSI buss at the same

time -

Narrow Based SCSI Disk Drives must always be the last in the chain after any Wide disks
are connected.

If the Engine is configured to run in Wide Mode, a quality 68 pin to 50 pin Adaptor must be
used when connecting from the SCSI buss to a narrow disk drive.

Please note the High Data Byte must be terminated when using an Adaptor, to allow for
correct termination wide converting to a Narrow disk drive.

Remember to always terminate the last drive in the chain.

If the Engine is configured to run in Narrow mode, an Adaptor without High Byte
termination may be used.

Remember to always terminate the last drive in the chain.

5.2 CHECKING FOR NEWLY INSTALLED SCSI DEVICES

Once you have mounted all external and internal SCSI devices, the following will aid

you in determining if they are all detected.

1. Ensure that the Engine is completely reassembled and that there are no loose cables.

2. Power up the Engine and Console.

3. Press the SPACE BAR once a gray display is seen. If you miss the time window in
which the Space bar must be pressed, simply reboot and try again.

4. The displayed prompt is " Select a boot method from the above menu: ".

5. From the prompt type " SCAN " or “ DF ”< RETURN >.

6. Observe that all SCSI devices are detected.

7. You may need to run this command a couple of times as some drives are much
slower to boot than the Engine.

8. If a SCSI device is not seen, power down the system and check all SCSI ID's and that
the SCSI and power cables are connected.

5.3 SETTING UP REMOVABLE MEDIA DEVICES

To set up optical drives for use on the system it is not necessary to format the media. All

that is required is that the following command be run on the media;

DISKINIT /tdwx -w -n=name

(W is the PCI #, X is the SCSI ID)

This command must be run from the shell, so you will need to quit from the main

application to the shell.

When media is not in use it is strongly recommended that the media is ejected from the

drive to ensure that the media has not deteriorated due to the level of heat in the drive itself.

CAUTION - KEEP MEDIA AWAY FROM STRONG MAGNETIC FIELDS AND DIRECT SUN
LIGHT AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DISK.

Please note - The system automatically detects new SCSI devices. For example if an Optical
drive is connected at boot up and the media is not present the device will be seen on the
Project page, however it will indicate no media. On placing a suitable formatted media in the
drive the device will become available for use.

Hard drives will also be automatically detected if they are installed correctly.

Please avoid connecting external devices by breaking the SCSI chain while the system is
running as it can either crash the system or if a project is open, lead to project corruption.

6.1 CLEANING THE EXTERIOR OF THE UNITS

You should clean the Merlin system units often enough to prevent dust or dirt from
accumulating. Dirt acts as a thermal insulating blanket that prevents effective heat dissipation
and may provide high-resistance electrical leakage paths between conductors or components
in a humid environment.

Clean the dust from the outside by wiping with a soft cloth or small brush. A brush is
especially useful for removing dust from around connectors and cooling grilles. Use a cloth
dampened in water that contains 50% Isopropyl alcohol to remove hardened dirt. You should
not use abrasive cleaners.

6.2 CLEANING THE MONITOR SCREENS

The Graphics Monitor has a special coating on the screen which prevents glare. A cleaning
cloth should be supplied with the Graphics Monitor and the instructions given in the monitor
manual should be followed.

SECTION 6 - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

6.3 CLEANING THE ENGINE AIR FILTER

To ensure good airflow through the Engine, the air filter in the front panel must be
periodically cleaned. It is usually sufficient to simply remove accumulated dust using a
vacuum cleaner to suck it out of the front panel grille. From time to time, however, the front
panel will have to be removed to give the filter a thorough clean or even replace it altogether.
The front dress panel should removed to allow access to the Air Filter.

1. Gently lift the dress panel away from the Engine.

2. Unclip the Air Filter and remove it from the front facia of the 2nd panel.

3. Once the air filter has been removed, clean it thoroughly by washing it in warm water

with mild detergent. Make sure it is completely dry before reinstalling it.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO GET INSIDE ANY ENCLOSED ASSEMBLY OR
COMPONENT. DO NOT CLEAN ANY PLASTIC MATERIALS WITH ORGANIC CLEANING
SOLVENTS, SUCH AS BENZENE, TOLUENE, XYLENE, ACETONE, OR SIMILAR COMPOUNDS,
BECAUSE THEY MAY DAMAGE THE PLASTIC. CAUTION: DO NOT USE CLEANING FLUIDS,
OTHER THAN THOSE MENTIONED IN THE GRAPHICS MONITOR MANUAL, TO CLEAN THE
SCREEN - THE SPECIAL COATING COULD BE DAMAGED.

32

4. Reverse the above steps to attach the front dress panel back into place.

Air Filter

NEW AIR FILTERS

If the filter cannot be cleaned properly or is worn out, a new one should be ordered. Please

contact your local Fairlight office or Distributor.

APPENDIX - CONNECTION SPECIFICATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The following information contains all the wiring details to allow users to connect
peripheral devices to the back panel of the Engine.

A1 - AUDIO I/O CONFIGURATION

Merlin uses a Fairlight ESP designed proprietary card called the QDC for all its audio I/O
and processing. A number of QDC cards can be configured within a Engine. Merlin can be
ordered with any of 12 Audio I/O combinations.

On each QDC , a maximum of 6 I/O module boards, can be configured, to allow 8 I/O
channels per module. This allows for a maximum of :-

16 analog inputs and 32 analog outputs

or a maximum of 32 digital inputs and digital outputs plus 16 analog inputs per QDC to be

available.

The following pages describe the wiring pin outs for each QDC, to enable installation
personnel to configure and wire the system.
