DAWs. In addition to AES/EBU I/O, the FC726 allows direct connection to seve-
ral third-party formats, including TDIF, SDIF-2, ADAT Optical, and MADI (via
SRCs!). AES/EBU outputs are always active even when using third-party formats.
Embedders/De-embedders
Four and eight-channel embedder/de-embedder modules are available in the Modu-
lar I/O system. These modules can simultaneously de-embed and embed audio
from/to a single video signal. SMPTE272M (SD) and SMPTE299M (HD) stan-
dards are supported. The HD943 module listed below has an auto-sensing input.

HD943 8ch HD/SD Embedder/De-embedder
Modular I/O configurations consist of one or more 3RU double-sided frames with
redundant PSU that can be fitted with a variety of I/O modules. For interface to the
console, all signals are converted to/from MADI. Depending on the configuration,
a maximum signal density of 64 inputs and 64 outputs can be achieved on a single
MADI I/O.
Audio formats supported are remote-controlled preamp, line level analog, AES/EBU,
and HD/SD embedder/de-embedder. Additional modules handle sync, MADI I/O,
and remote-control interface.
Refer to the Euphonix Modular Configuration Guide for more details and configura-
tion possibilities.

Monitoring
System 5 monitoring is handled by the MC524 Monitor-Comms Interface. This unit
provides Main (7.1), Alt 1 (5.1), and Alt 2 (stereo) control room speaker outputs; SLS
(7.1), and Cues 1-3 (each stereo) studio speaker outputs; 2 talkback mic preamps and
4 listen mic preamps. A dedicated MA703 MADI-toAnalog Converter feeds audio to
the MC524. The MA703 is connected to the DF66 MADI out 1, which is reserved for
monitor outputs. The MC524 is connected to the System Computer and is controlled
via the Euphonix TCC serial protocol.
SNMP
SNMP monitoring is available in the SC263 System Computer (S5B only), DF66 Su-
perCore, and the CO600 MADI Changeover Switch. SNMP modules are battery
backed-up and have an independent network connection.
