Both Max Air and System 5 digital audio consoles have their own router built into the DF66 DSP SuperCore. The StudioHub is for extending these console routing systems and for integration or replacement of broadcast routers in the facility.

StudioHub is available in three different packages:

Integrated TDM Broadcast Audio Routing Frame
Integrates with ES-Switch Protocol Routers including: Nvision, Pesa, Pro-bel, Sony, Grass Valley and Utah Scientific.
Finally a solution that integrates the digital audio console router frame with the main broadcast facility router. This eliminates the need for two routing and I/O systems in certain broadcast applications with considerable cost savings and increased efficiency of operation.

Audio Facility MADI Router
For large single room facilities or for connecting audio between multiple rooms, Euphonix can provide StudioHub with a standalone patching software application that runs on a PC. Analog and digital audio signals can be connected using the range of Euphonix converters or any MADI source.

Euphonix is pleased to announce another un-compromised cost savings breakthrough for the Broadcast industry.

The StudioHub router, employed with the Euphonix System 5 or Max Air digital audio mixing systems, enables the user to substantially reduce the amount of audio I/O that has traditionally been required for remote trucks, production control rooms and post production rooms. Savings of over $30,000 per installation can be achieved because the StudioHub has been designed to communicate with industry standard ES-Switch protocol routing control systems, such as the Harris - Leitch, Nvision, Pro-bel, QuStream, Sony, Thompson-Grass Valley and Utah Scientific systems. This ELIMINATES the need for two routing systems and two I/O systems while satisfying the demands of redundancy for on-air operation.

Get ready for a more streamlined and efficient way of utilizing your audio control room. The production monitors, I/O feeds, tape machines, console mix, aux and group busses are all available on the router and to the console simultaneously! If a tape operator needs to get 'mono fx' to Ch 1 of the replay machine, they simply dial it up on the router panel. It is no longer necessary to create the buss, assign it to a console output, then patch that output into the router, then assign the router source to the tape op destination. This greatly simplifies the way audio is routed throughout the facility.

Console output busses such as main program, aux feeds, and IFB's automatically appear as sources on the router. Additionally, engineering then has full control of all audio sources from any router control panel, which means no more crowding the audio room during setup and troubleshooting for shows.

Most digital audio mixers are unable to separate the routing matrix from the digital mixer, thereby forcing the customer to purchase two discreet (and expensive) systems. The Euphonix TDM MADI router (SH612) is separate from the mixing engine - much like a video switcher, therefore ensuring operation completely independent from the audio console. The SH612 router has redundant power supplies, boots to last known state in five seconds, can handle 672 x 672 cross-points, and connects via industry standard 75ohm BNC connectors.

In the event of an unforeseen catastrophe, there are complete 'real world' failsafe redundancy procedures that will enable you to 'patch' around problems just like the old days.

In conjunction with Euphonix full line of converter products, a fully featured 672 x 672 audio router with multi format I/O is achieved cost effectively and is easily installed (most connections are 75ohm coax). I/O formats include; analog, 75ohm AES, 110ohm AES, SDIF, ADAT, legacy ProTools and TDIF.

Since the SH612 is switching routing signals in a common format, MADI, all I/O specific formats are converted to MADI through the I/O converter units. These include analog and all digital formats with sample rate conversion if necessary. If a source is an analog signal, and the destination is a digital signal, the SH612 can make that switch with no problems to the operator.
