4.2.3: SCore CARD FRAME
HARDWARE > LOCAL RACK > SCore CARD FRAME
The rear panel of the SCore shows the Score Card Frame. Your console’s Card Frame will be populated according
to your own specification. The diagram shows a 96kHz-capable system with four MADI cards installed. A 48kHz-only
system has five DSP cards installed in the top section, with three additional ‘blank’ spaces (left of bridge card, left of
FX card, right of FX card). ‘Standard’ cards are shown with a blue background, optional cards (including the three
96kHx-system DSP cards) are shown with an orange background.
There are a number of connections that must be made in the Score Rack Frame, and between the SCore Rack Frame
and the Active Breakout Unit, in order for the system to operate correctly. These are shown in section 4.2.4.
There are 12 single slots for I/O cards, identified with letters A-L, the HD cards are not included in these 12 slots.
Double-slot cards such as MADI and Dante take the letter of their left-hand single slot.
GPIO Card with Relay Contacts
Provides a set of GPIO contacts, controlled by the GPIO page of the control surface, The inputs are opto-isolated and
the outputs are SPST relay contacts.
DSP Cards
Contains the DSP processing for audio processing in the SCore. A 96kHz-capable system will have eight DSP cards
while a 48kHz-only system will have five DSP cards. The left-most DSP cards (1 & 2) must be connected to the HD
cards 1 & 2: HD IN 1 > HD OUT 1; HD IN 2 > HD OUT 2 and so on.
Bridge Card
Provides the connection from the Local Rack to the Control Surface. Houses a QNX embedded processing system
that controls all the audio processing in the rack. The Primary Bridge Card connection should be connected to the
Primary Bridge Card connection on the rear of the Active Breakout Unit.
