The Blackrock Processor
The Blackrock processor is a 2U high 430mm deep (excluding connectors) rack unit. The unit is based on an industry
standard industrial PC chassis running SSL’s operating software. There are no 3rd party licensing requirements.
Behind the removable front panel are one or two swappable SATA drives, the filters for the cooling fans and a protected
mains switch. At the rear of the rack are the removable PSU units, the console network and terminal connections, the
optical Madi ports for I/O and a serial port.
Power supplies
The unit is fitted with two removable power supplies, either of which is capable of powering the Blackrock chassis so as
to provide fault redundancy. The units are autoranging and are fitted with a standard IEC male connector for mains input.
Motherboard
This card is the processor for the system files and for project storage and also functions as the interface for remote
diagnostic servicing and storage capability when connected to an IP network.
The Motherboard is fitted with the following connectors:
TCP/IP Network IP network connection – will need to be connected to the facility’s TCP/IP (Internet) service to
facilitate remote diagnostics (SNMP), project backup and system file management.
SSL Network Console network connection – must be linked to the built-in hub.
Note that the SSL network is used to transfer control surface data which is not TCP/IP protocol. Do not
combine this network with the TCP/IP network.
DAW Reserved for the implementation of IP MIDI – Not currently available.
USB 1&2 Standard peripheral USB – can be used for direct connection of a keyboard and mouse to facilitate
file management.
XGA Standard analogue video output – combined with above, can be used for direct connection of an
analogue XGA monitor to facilitate file management and backup functions.
Serial Port RS232 D9 female for serial connection to Probel routers to facilitate router name transfer.
CPU and DSP
This single PCie card performs all the system DSP and processing functions. It can be specified as one of three versions
to support 64, 96 or 128 full-function channels at 48kHz simultaneously. Processors specified with less than 128 channels
can be subsequently expanded via a license upgrade.
The DSP card is fitted with the following connectors:
Network 1&2 Console network output connectors. Connector ‘ Net 1 ’ must be linked to the built-in hub.
Sync in BNC input connector for system reference. A feed of sync must be supplied. The following are
suitable sources: Analogue Video (black&burst 1Vp-p or composite), Wordclock or AES3-id 75Ω .
USB SSL Service use only.
Mezzanine 1&2
A Madi interface card fitted with four off SFP fibre sockets. Each of these sockets can be equipped with a duplex LC fibre
interface adapter for connection to a remote I/O unit. Each Madi port provides up to 64
†
audio channels.
The fibre multiplexers fitted as standard are the 50/125 multimode version which will function at cable lengths of up to
550m. 9/125 singlemode multiplexers which can function at distances of up to 2km are available to order at additional cost.
One mezzanine card (ports 1–4) is included as standard and a second card (ports 5–8) can be specified to provide access
to up to 512 I/O channels.
† The signal capacity of the first Madi link connected to any RIO is reduced to 62 as two channels are reserved for
control and status information. This restriction does not apply to subsequent links connected to the same RIO.
