Chapter 1: Technical Overview
Hardware Components
Hardware Components
The mc²56 MKII consists of three principal components:
·
Console control surface - with integrated power supplies and local I/O connections.
·
Nova73 – with Router Modules, DSP boards and AES, MADI, RAVENNA or DANTE I/O. Available in two
sizes: Nova73 HD (10RU) or Nova73 Compact (7RU).
·
DALLIS or Compact I/O – offering further I/O breakout options. DALLIS frames can be fitted with a
choice of I/O cards and connect to the Nova73 via MADI or RAVENNA. The Compact I/O is a 5RU
stagebox with a fixed amount of I/O; it connects to the Nova73 via RAVENNA Link.
The exact hardware specification defines how many analogue and digital connections are available for external
equipment, and how much DSP processing is available for input channels, monitor return channels, groups, sums
and auxiliary sends.
From Version 5.4 onwards, two identical control surfaces can connect to the same Nova73 in order to mirror
each other - for example, in a theatre you can install one surface in the auditorium and the other in a
separate control room to facilitate mixing from two different locations. The surfaces
MUST be from the same
console family (either mc
2
56 OR mc
2
66), but different frame sizes are possible. For more details, see
