Formed as a microphone manufacturer in 1964, Calrec celebrated 50 years as audio specialists in 2014. The company’s reputation for build quality, reliability and audio performance has made it an industry benchmark across the world.

Today, broadcasters demand even more versatility and integration from their audio equipment, and in this technologically-progressive era TV companies want to ensure that their systems can produce programmes efficiently and to required specifications. For their audio systems to achieve this, greater consideration has to be given to their networks as a whole, and how efficiently they can be controlled. Calrec has designed its range of consoles to meet these demands.

Consistently pushing technology barriers, the Apollo platform introduced Bluefin2, the next generation of award-winning Bluefin technology. It provides over 1000 channel processing paths on just one DSP card. For surround sound mixing it is the industry’s most advanced and economical solution. In the Apollo, Artemis and Summa consoles, and the Hydra2 network, Calrec provides intelligent solutions for easily sharing network I/O resources and control data.

This Product Guide provides detailed descriptions for every single item of Calrec hardware, from the biggest Apollo console to the smallest Summa. It covers panel options, Calrec’s full range of fixed format and modular Hydra2 units, and dimensions for a variety of console configurations. It also provides a quick and easy console comparison to select the right console to meet your requirements.

Note: This product Guide now includes our latest console Brio 36 and its associated hardware including its new BRIO expansion rack.

For putting sound in the picture, broadcasters trust in Calrec.

Apollo surface sizes are very flexible. A number of chassis sections are fitted together to provide space for the required panel layout. Chassis sections come in a variety of widths, defined by how many control panels they can hold. Currently available sections are: 2, 2.5, 3 and 3+. Some standard surface options are shown in the table below.

As shown, 80 is the maximum number of faders allowable on the Apollo stand but each Apollo system can have up to 160 faders. This can be achieved by having multiple surface sections on stands connected to the same core.

Two side trim options are available: Studio - 50mm or Slim - 10mm. Two stand height options are available: 740mm and 700mm.

*Internal / external leg widths do not include the floor fixing plates fitted on OB version.

IC5717 DUALFADERPANEL

The IC5717 is a dual fader panel, fitted with 8 x 100mm throw faders and a second row above of 8 x 60mm faders. The panel is the same physical size as the IC5701 with some strip functionality removed to make space for the second row of faders. The dual fader panel gives physical access to both A and B layers simultaneously.

250mm


IM5705 MONITOR/SPILLPANEL

The monitor/spill panel fits in either row of the control bed, providing a dedicated set of main monitoring controls. As well as monitoring controls, this panel provides surround spill and downmix faders for in-depth control over surround paths. The faders on this panel can also be used to control Main output bus levels if required. Eight momentary buttons with LED tallies are fitted at the bottom of the panel that can be assigned to GPIO for the triggering of external devices, for example, for talkback or remote start of playout devices. If required, for example on a large console, or for multiple operators, multiple monitor/spill panels can be fitted in the same control surface. Each can switch between controlling monitor 1 or monitor 2 outputs as well as having access to miscellaneous monitor and headphone outputs.

130mm


IW5718 JOYSTICK/SPILLPANEL

The joystick/spill panel, like the monitor/spill panel, is ‘half-width’ and can fit in either row of the control bed. Typically it would be located above the monitor/spill panel. This panel provides joystick control over surround panning / output positioning from mono and stereo paths. Like the monitor/spill panel, the joystick/spill panel also provides assignable control over surround path spill and downmix settings, as well as allowing its faders to be assigned to Main output buses if required.

130mm


LS5957, LS6053LOUDSPEAKERPANEL

The LS5957/LS6053 loudspeaker panels provide a mono loudspeaker with four separate balanced stereo audio inputs. The panels can be fitted into either of Apollo’s control bed rows.

Audio input connections are made to the rear of the panel via a 25 pin D-Type connector.

DIP switches are provided on the rear of the panel for individually enabling/disabling left and right portions of each input feed and Cut/On switches are provided above each level control.

DIP switches are also provided to set the frequency response of the incoming audio, three options are available: Flat, high frequency filter (4k7 Hz), low frequency filter (215 Hz).

Level rotary controls are illuminated to ease identification and the illumination colour of each can be set using rotary controls on the rear of the panel.

LS6053 provides an additional rotary level control for controlling an audio feed to an external loudspeaker. The external audio feed is connected through the panel using a 9 pin D-Type connector on the rear of the panel.

CA5700 WILD/ASSIGNPANEL

Assignable control panels can quickly switch between 4 main operating modes, giving access to the majority of operational functions, and can also be used in “wilds” mode to provide in-line control functions for the fader directly below each strip. A wild/assign panel needs to be located above a fader panel in order for it to be fully functional and for mode selection to be performed. Multiple wild/assign panels can be fitted in order to provide multiple modes of control parameters at the same time, for multiple operators working on the same console at the same time as well as giving control to all functions from various physical locations across the console.

250mm


MD5702 TFTSCREEN

A number of TFT screens can be fitted in the control surface upstand to display input and output audio metering, dynamics gain reduction metering and loudness metering. Each upstand screen requires a fader panel to carry out its processing and therefore the maximum number of upstand screens fitted in a console is the same as the number of fader panels fitted. TFT screens are the same width as fader and wild/assign panels.

250mm


RT5707 BROADCASTFACILITIESPANEL

Each control surface requires that a Broadcast Facilities panel is fitted in the upstand. This panel is 55mm [2.17”] wide and as such is ideally fitted alongside a 3rd party meter panel (see next page) to take up the same width as a standard panel (250 mm).

The Broadcast Facilities panel provides the following:

• Resets• Talkback Mic• USB Port• Facilities Buttons/Indicators

REAR CONNECTIONS - BRIO 36

The BRIO 36 surface is designed to be a self-contained compact mixing console however there are a number of external connections that are made to interface to other equipment such as I/O, Networks and OEM equipment. Some of these require fibre connections via singlemode or multimode usually via LC SFPs.

Looking from left to right across the rear panel, there are:-

2 x IEC power sockets labelled PSU 1 and PSU 2, either of which can power the console, together they provide power redundancy. The IEC inputs should be fed from separate AC sources to protect against external power loss. In the event that only one AC outlet is available, power should be fed via the supplied IEC Y-Split cable to provide redundancy against internal PSU failure.

Below the power cable strain relief clips and large whisper quiet fan are 6 x BNC connectors that provide options for external Sync connections, the 2 x Wordclock, 2 AES & 2 Video BNC ports.

2 x Hydra 2 SFP interface connections are located next to the Sync connectors which, when the optional Hydra 2 module is fitted allows connections to external I/O on the Calrec network.

BRIO 36 REAR CONNECTIONS

The left hand SFP, when viewed from the rear of the surface, is the primary connection and the SFP on the right is the secondary connection.

Next to these are the GUI and Meter DVI out connectors. The GUI connector provides a backup to the touchscreen interface which together with a USB keyboard allows the system to continue in the event of touchscreen failure. Note: there is a USB port in the front of the console for this purpose.

The Meter DVI provides up to 4 rows of user definable metering, including compliant loudness meters, and dynamics gain reduction meters on a customer provided TFT screen.

2 x Ethernet connectors labelled 1 & 2 are placed to the right of the DVI Outputs and are used to connect to 3rd party equipment for Ember+ , SWP-08 control or other OEM interfaces. Alternatively they can connect to Calrec H20 or Calrec Assist interfaces.

There are 3 double expansion slots labelled C, D & E are available next to these and any of the Calrec Modular I/O cards may be fitted and the empty spaces filled with single blanking plates, see ”I/O Options – Modular” on page 54 onwards to see the modular I/O range.

To the right of the expansion slots are placed 4 x 9-pin D-Sub connectors each of which carry 4 x GPI or 4 x GPO circuits providing a total of 8 In & 8 Out GPIOs.

These general purpose are classed as being in slot F, for patching purposes.

2 columns of 8 x Digital ports on BNCs (1 column of 8 AES3 Outputs & 1 column of 8 AES3 Inputs with SRC column) appear next to the GPIO providing 8 x Digital Stereo AES3 outputs and inputs.

These digital outputs and inputs are classed as being in slot B for patching purposes.

There are 16 analogue line outputs on XLR male connectors next to the AES connectors arranged in a 4 x 4 block numbered 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 & 13-16.

Finally there are 24 analogue Mic/Line inputs with Phantom Power on XLR female connectors arranged in a 6 x 4 block numbered 1-6, 7-12, 13-18 & 19-24.

These analogue outputs and inputs are classed as being in slot A for patching purposes.

HYDRA2-HUB

The H2Hub provides a network distribution node that can be used to connect from a router up to 4 external connections which may be I/O boxes or other Hubs to form a local array of I/O connectivity, in a compact, cost-effective package.

EnclosureThe H2Hub is 220mm wide x 284mm deep x 40mm (<1U) high. Threaded fixing holes in the base allow the unit to be secured in place if required.

CoolingThe unit has a single ultra low noise fan. Air is drawn in from the front and extracted from the rear, please allow at least 25mm (1’) clearance at the front and rear of the unit for operation up to 40 deg C (104 deg F) ambient temperature.

PowerThe H2Hub contains a single AC mains PSU that can be fed 100-240V AC via a rear mounted IEC connector. The IEC connector has a retaining clip that can hold some types of IEC cables in place. The cable supplied with the unit has a built in latching mechanism and does not need to be clipped in place.

A 10-30V DC input allows an optional external PSU to be connected to provide redundancy if required.

BatterypoweredoperationThe DC input is also suitable for use with batteries. Batteries can be used as a backup to the internal AC supply, or as the primary power source. There is no drain on the battery whilst the unit is fed with AC, yet switch-over from AC to DC is seamless.

A wide range of suitable batteries are commonly available from broadcast suppliers. Costs vary significantly based on run time and other factors. Calrec recommends the use of Anton Bauer G150 batteries in conjunction with their QR-UNIV XLR mount to provide a runtime in excess of 12 hours. ‘Hot-swap’ battery mounts are also available to fit 2 batteries that can be individually swapped out without interrupting operation.

The DC input is protected by ISO 7637-2 circuitry against surges, reverse polarity and other external power faults.

Hydra2networkconnectionsA pair of front mounted SFP slots provide primary and secondary connections back to routers in a Hydra2 network. Various fibre and copper SFP modules can be supplied.

Primary and Secondary SFP slots are also provided for up to 4 downstream ports which can either be connected to Calrec I/O Units or other H2Hubs.

The H2Hub must be given an ID which is unique on the network, before being connected. The ID is a value from 1 to 64, set as a binary representation using DIP switches accessible from the rear. Note that Hub ID’s are different to I/O Box HID’s so no conflict occurs if an I/O Box and a Hub have the same ID.

Two other switches are also provided on the rear of the unit the first is the Split / Contained switch. The unit is normally used in Contained mode where both Primary and Secondary connections are made to the same hub. In this mode the Upper row of SFP’s are used for Primary connections and the lower row used for Secondary connections.

In certain situations extra redundancy may be provided by switching this to ‘Split’ the Hub. In this mode each Hub only manages either the Primary or Secondary connection which is determined by the Pri /Sec switch adjacent. Another hub is then required to be in ‘Split’ mode with the same ID to manage the other paired connection for mission critical I/O redundancy. Note that in ‘Spilt’ Mode ,

DUALMADI


I/O OPTIONS – MODULAR

Modular I/O boxes are 3U rack-mount enclosures with 20 I/O card slots that can be populated with a mixed range of I/O cards, allowing for a custom selection of I/O quantities and formats.

Modular I/O boxes connect to a Hydra2 network in the same way as Fixed Format I/O. Multiple modular I/O boxes can coexist on a Hydra2 network alongside fixed format I/O if required in order to make up the total quantity of I/O in the format and location it is needed.

PowerEach modular I/O box is fitted with 2 x rear mounted AC PSUs, each with their own AC IEC input operating from 100–240V AC 50/60 Hz. Either PSU can power the whole box, two are fitted in order to provide redundancy. Where possible, each PSU should be fed from a separate AC source in order to provide redundancy against both PSU failure, and external AC mains loss. Input power (maximum) 100–240 VAC, 1.52–0.68A RMS, 50/60 Hz.

EarthingChassis earth studs are fitted to each PSU cover. These should be connected to ground using earth cable of at least 6mm2 cross-section (10 AWG).

AirflowandmountingThe unit is a 19” rack-mount enclosure designed for mounting into standard equipment bays. Rear/side supports should be considered in order to avoid excessive stress on the front racking angles, particularly if fitted into a mobile installation.

A recessed air-intake grill runs across the bottom of the box. The box can be mounted directly under, or on top of another unit or surface—the recessed design of the intake allows sufficient air to be drawn in from the sides (see diagram) to cool the box. Both side facing inlets should be left unobstructed.

Low noise fans fitted to the PSU modules pull air through the box, venting to the rear. To minimize fan noise and longevity,

modular I/O fan speed is varies depending on the temperature within the box.

Hydra2interfacecardThe central card slot of a modular I/O box is reserved for a Hydra2 interface card. This card connects the I/O to a Hydra2 network. Unlike fixed format I/O, the Hydra2 interface connectors are on the front of the modular I/O box.

Two Hydra2 interface ports are provided for redundancy—port 1 connects to a primary Calrec router, port 2 to the secondary router in the same core. The Hydra2 interface is via pluggable SFP modules, the correct type of SFP should be ordered to match the installation requirements—Cat5e copper, singlemode, or mulitmode fibre. Please refer to the section on SFPs in the Installation manuals for more detail.

The table on the following page provides an overview of the modular I/O cards which are currently available. More detailed information is provided in the following sections.

The AL5870 provides 2 balanced mic / line level analogue inputs to the Hydra2 network along with a pre-gain analogue ‘split’ output for each input in a 2 slot-wide module. The 2 Input connectors are female XLR, the 2 ‘split’ outputs are male XLR.

The pre gain analogue split outputs are active, irrespective of the Hydra2 interface card status, as long as the I/O box is powered.

Front panel LEDs indicate audio signal presence for each input and split output, lighting green for signals above -60dBFS.

Each input also has front panel LED indicators which light red when 48V phantom power is on.

This module supports phantom power detection, allowing for power to the mic input to be controlled by the device being fed from the split output. This feature is enabled per input / split using PCB mounted DIP switches fitted to the card. When active, if +24V DC or greater is detected on a split output (i.e. phantom power is being fed by the device connected to the split), the card will automatically switch its own phantom power to the corresponding mic input. If phantom power has been switched in this way, the 48 V LED indicator will briefly blink off approximately every two seconds.

SPECIFICATION

The JM6199 provides 1 x MADI input stream plus 1 x MADI output stream with independently switchable sample rate converters for both input and output.

The front panel LED provides indication for receiving a valid MADI input and for sample rate converters being active.

Input sources are selectable between BNC copper and SFP. Both BNC and SFP outputs are fed simultaneously with the same signal.

A range of SFPs are available, see Connection Information from page 30 for more details.


VI58722XSDIEMBEDDER(BNC)

The VI5872 provides 2 SDI outputs, into which audio can be embedded from the Hydra2 network. This is a 1 slot-wide module with SDI interfacing via BNC connectors.

Any console, H2O user or 3rd party SW-P-08 controller on the Hydra2 network can select audio to be embedded into the SDI outputs. Each SDI output can carry up to 16 channels of embedded audio.

Each SDI output is paired with an SDI input. A valid SDI signal must be fed into an input connector in order for the corresponding output to function. The output can only pass video content from its corresponding input—video content cannot be re-routed by the Hydra2 system. Any audio in the incoming SDI signal is stripped and discarded—all audio in the output stream is routed from the Hydra2 network. Audio channels within the output stream will be silent unless Hydra2 patches are made to them. If any of the audio content from the SDI input needs to be maintained, the signal should first pass through a de-embedder card (VO5841 / VO5873).

3rd party EMBER controllers, such as L-S-B’s VSM and Colledia’s BNCS have the ability to insert SMPTE2020 metadata into each SDI output stream’s VANC space.

Front panel LEDs for each input will light up green to indicate a valid SDI signal is being received.

SPECIFICATION

MaximumchannelcountAs Hydra2 links are limited to 512 channels of audio in each direction, each I/O box can be populated with cards that provide a maximum of 512 input channels, and 512 output channels.

This limitation becomes a factor when a large number of SDI cards are fitted in the same modular I/O box. Channels are counted across the card slots from left to right. If, for example, SDI embedder (audio output) cards are fitted in the first 16 card slots, the output channel count will be at its maximum (16 channels of audio per SDI output x 2 SDI outputs per card x 16 cards = 512 channels) - Any output cards fitted in the remaining 4 slots will not pass audio or GPIO signals, irrespective of whether audio is being routed to any or all of the SDI outputs. The remaining card slots could however be fitted with input cards as inputs and outputs have separate channel count quotas.

Note, the channel count totals mono audio channels, therefore, each SDI stream has a channel count of 16 and each digital AES port has a channel count of 2.


VO58412XSDIDE-EMBEDDER(BNC)

The VO5841 provides 2 SDI inputs, the audio from which can be de-embedded and distributed across the Hydra2 network. This is a 1 slot-wide module with SDI interfacing via BNC connectors.

All 16 channels of audio can be de-embedded from SD, HD or 3G SDI signals.

For each SDI input, there is an SDI ‘thru’ connector which passes on the incoming SDI signal, unchanged, with its original audio channels included.

Front panel LEDs for each input light up green to indicate a valid SDI signal is being received.


MaximumchannelcountAs Hydra2 links are limited to 512 channels of audio in each direction, each I/O box can be populated with cards that provide a maximum of 512 input channels, and 512 output channels. When counting inputs and outputs GPIO ports must also be included.

This limitation becomes a factor when a large number of SDI cards are fitted in the same modular I/O box. Channels are counted across the card slots from left to right.

WY5858GPIO,8IN/8FULLCHANGEOVEROUT(D-TYPE)

FRONT PANEL VIEWGPIO cards can be fitted to provide General Purpose interfacing for logic control such as remote / fader starts for playback devices, triggering autofades on a control surface, and much more.

Access to each general purpose input and output can be given to any console on the Hydra2 network.

The function of each general purpose input and output is configurable and assignable from any Apollo/Artemis/Summa console which has been granted access.

This is a one slot wide module. Inputs and outputs are all on 1 x female 50 pin D-type connector.

LEDsThe Status LED strobes to indicate that the local software is running. The LED illuminates solidly when connection is established to the Hydra2 Interface Module in the same modular I/O chassis.

GPInputs8 opto-isolated inputs allow for remote control of console functions. Applying between 3 and 50 Volts, AC or DC across the + & - pins of the opto will trigger them.

If using a dry closure to trigger a GP input, note that the incoming closure should be wired to one side of an opto input only. The other side of the opto should be pulled up by linking it to the 5V pin on the connector. The other side of the closure should be wired to the 0V pin. An example of wiring a closure to GP input #1 is shown above right.

GPOutputsThe WY5858 version provides 8 changeover relays with access to both the normally open, and normally closed contacts for each. A closure pair is achieved by wiring one leg to either NO or NC and the other leg to a common pin for that specific relay. If external equipment requires a ground for activation, rather than a closure, the common pin for that relay should be connected to a ground from the external equipment.

The Fieldbox provides 8 balanced analogue mic/line level inputs, and 8 balanced analogue line level outputs, in a compact, cost-effective package.

EnclosureThe Fieldbox is 220mm wide x 384mm deep x 40mm (<1U) high. Threaded fixing holes in the base allow the unit to be secured in place if required.

CoolingThis is a fanless design that is cooled through natural convection and radiation. If not being used in a cooled environment, please allow for 45mm (1.75’) clearance on the top and sides from other heat generating equipment.

PowerThe Fieldbox contains a single AC mains PSU that can be fed 100-240V AC via a rear mounted IEC connector. The IEC connector has a retaining clip that can hold some types of IEC cables in place. The cable supplied with the unit has a built in latching mechanism and does not need to be clipped in place.

A 10-30V DC input allows an optional external PSU to be connected to provide power redundancy if required.

BatterypoweredoperationThe DC input is also suitable for use with batteries. Batteries can be used as a backup to the internal AC supply, or as the primary power source. There is no drain on the battery whilst the unit is fed with AC, yet switch-over from AC to DC is seamless.

System Status warnings are issued across the network and front panel LED indication is provided if the battery level is low.

A wide range of suitable batteries are commonly available from broadcast suppliers. Costs vary significantly based on run time and other factors. Calrec recommends the use of Anton Bauer G150 batteries in conjunction with their QR-UNIV XLR mount to provide a runtime in excess of 12 hours. ‘Hot-swap’ battery mounts are also available to fit 2 batteries that can be individually swapped out without interrupting operation.

The DC input is protected by ISO 7637-2 circuitry against surges, reverse polarity and other external power faults.

Hydra2networkconnectionA pair of rear mounted SFP slots provide primary and secondary connections for a Hydra2 network. Various fibre and copper SFP modules can be supplied.

Note that SFP design varies depending on manufacturer, please ensure that SFPs are correctly latched in place after fitting them. In the event that a connection is not automatically established after hot-plugging an SFP, please reset the unit the SFP is plugged in to.

Like all other Hydra2 I/O, the Fieldbox must be given an ID, unique amongst all the I/O on the network, before being connected. The ID is a value from 1 to 255, set as a binary representation using DIP switches accessible from the rear.

For further guidance, please refer to the I/O Box Identification section, under Fixed Format I/O in the Hydra2 Installation manual.

Another DIP switch accessible from the rear sets whether the unit is to network via Hydra2 or AoIP. Please ensure this switch is set to the Hydra2 position for normal operation.

AoIP

A card slot within the unit will allow for future upgrades to AoIP networking. More information on AoIP connectivity will be provided when module options are available.

Hydra2networkconnectionsA pair of rear mounted SFP slots provide primary and secondary connections back to routers in a Hydra2 network.

Primary and Secondary SFP slots are also provided for the 2 x AoIP ports and indicators are provided on the rear to show which modules have been fitted to the unit.

The AoIP unit must be given an ID which is unique on the network, before being connected. The ID is a value from 1 to 256, set as a binary representation using DIP switches accessible from the rear.

The AES sync O/P on the rear of the unit provides a PTP clock reference derived from the Internet stream. Note: this sync O/P is not yet enabled as of 01/09/16.

The System OK LED strobes every second to indicate that the system is actively talking to the AoIP modules and the Hydra 2 interface. or every 100ms if the Hydra 2 interface is not active.

ConfigPortA Cat 5e connector on the front of the unit is used for Setup via a WEB UI.

FrontPanelReset&StatusLEDsA recessed Reset button allows the user to reset the system. A Red Fan Fail LED illuminates if the fan stops spinning. Next to this are the 2 PSU LEDs which illuminate green to show they are ON.

The Hydra2, AoIP 1 & AoIP 2 primary and secondary interface LEDs illuminate to show they are connected.

SPECIFICATION


BR-IOisa4UHydra2basedexternalI/ORackallowingforcosteffectiveexpansionofI/OforusewithBrio36consoles.

It is intended to be placed in control/equipment rooms, trucks, studios, and even outdoor use providing the user provides appropriate protection against the elements (flight-cases / covers / general protection). This rack has the same complement of analogue and digital I/O that can be found in a Brio 36 system.

ExternalI/ORackAudioInterfacesThe image below shows the BR-IO rack and the Audio interfaces available to the user from this I/O Rack are:-

24 x Analogue Mic/Line I/Ps, 16 x Analogue Line O/Ps,8 x Digital AES I/Ps, with SRC,8 x Digital AES O/Ps.

The Audio Specifications for the Analogue and Digital inputs and outputs are the same as those built-in to the Brio 36.

PortPatchingIdentificationThe BR-IO has it’s own ICON which appears in the I/O Boxes patching pages. The analogue inputs and outputs are prefixed by the Letter ‘A’ in the port patching pages and the digital inputs and outputs are prefixed by the letter ‘B’ for patching purposes.

For example, where the box ID is set to 434 then Analogue Mic/Line Input 3 would be identified as 434A-03. See below for a I/O Box / Port Patching example.

Hydra2interfacingThe interface controller on the right hand side of the front panel of the unit connects the I/O to the optional Hydra2 module in a Brio 36 system either directly or via a H2Hub.

Two Hydra2 ‘Light’ based interface ports are provided on the BR-IO for redundancy: Port 1 connects to the Primary H2 connection on a Brio 36, Port 2 connects to the Secondary Hydra 2 connection on the same Brio 36. Multiple BR-IO units may be added via a H2 Hub along with other I/O boxes from the Hydra2 range.

Hydra2 based network components interface via pluggable SFP modules, the correct type of SFP should be ordered to match the installation requirements.
