AXUM-frAME-14_RackTWO_SCREEN

FRAME-14 CONTROL SURFACE FOR 12 FADERS +CRM SECTION
RACK TWO for I/O cards

The AXUM is a modular platform that can grow with you and your organization any time, any moment.
I/O cards can be shared between systems and a Broadcast station that has decided to use the AXUM as their main and support mixers can be sure to have invested in a future proof product.
The Axum can be used for small local 4 fader desktop use as well as large scale (128 faders max) production work and everything in between.

A large matrix of 1280x1280 with extensive signal processing on a maximum of 128 stereo channels is available that can be assigned to Sixteen stereo summing mixing busses and sixteen monitor buses as well as directly between the maximum of 4 DSP's.

Imagine a console where you can determine what a switch/encoder or fader will do for you. Not possible?.
With the AXUM this is possible and... you can do that yourself by selecting a function out of hundreds of functions simply selectable in your browser.
Two control surfaces in different studios sharing the same I/O rack is also no problem for the AXUM platform.

Hardware purchasing choices are straightforward:
Rack ONE accepts a maximum of 21 I/O single slot cards.
Rack TWO accepts a maximum of 40 I/O single slot cards.
A Control Surface Frame starts with 4 faders as a minimum and can be extended to a maximum of 128 motorized faders plus Control/CRM section.
Each individual Control Surface Frame can be mounted drop through in a work surface left or right of your script space.

Interfacing with studio equipment is with high quality low cost readily available STP cable, also called shielded STP Ethernet cable, see breakout boxes below to choose from.

An internally generated webpage allows you to remotely control all settings anywhere over Ethernet and /or Internet.

The MambaNet protocol controls the communication between all system parts linked to each other with world standard Ethernet.
It gives such an enormous freedom in system solutions so we hardly can imagine that your needs can not be met with the AXUM.

A software Meter application is included and runs directly from the Control Surface, but also from any PC in the network.
Also hardware meters can be connected in the network anywhere, thanks to the MambaNet protocol.

FLEXIBLE CONTROL SURFACE

Axum_inbouw

Axum modules built into the table.

The switches on the channel-strip are software assignable to a function.
For instance the ‘ON’ Switch can be above or below the fader.
Any Control surface switch can do anything you want it to do, but… to not confuse you we have programmed a factory default assignment that represents the working procedures of the average Radio Studio to start with.
Switches have long life dual color LED’s. So every active function is clearly shown.
The basic desktop frames are built to use as a drop through frame in a furniture surface.
They can accept 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 pcs of 4 faders sections, or 2,3,4,5 pcs of 4 fader sections and 1 CRM/STUDIO section plus master blind.
With two frames (script space in the middle) you can have a maximum of 48 faders with CRM/STUDIO section.
If more faders are needed larger frame sizes are available upon request to achieve the maximum of 128 by fader controllable stereo channels this design can handle.

PROCESSING RACK FOR I/O CARDS

RACK ONE, accepting 21 one slot cards.

RACK ONE can accept 21 one slot space I/O-cards. There are 16available slots for I/O cards (5 are used for POWER and Engine card)
RACK TWO can accept 40 one slot space I/O cards. There are 35 available slots for I/O cards (5 are used for POWER and Engine card)

Rack2

RACK TWO (6HE) accepting 40 I/O one slot cards

An internal power supply card (3 slots positioned on the left side) is necessary as well as one Engine card (2 slots, on the right hand side of the Rack), a redundant power supply is optional.
If you just want I/O routing no DSP card is necessary, but if you want signal processing one DSP card is always necessary to control 32 stereo channels as a maximum. More DSP cards (4 max) give more processing channels (up to 128)
A range of I/O cards can slide into the 19" rack to achieve the necessary number of analog and digital in and outputs your studio needs.
Any changes can be performed while ON-AIR.

IN / OUTPUT CONNECTORS

The huge amount of in- and outputs per card could not be designed with a dedicated (jack/Cinch/XLR connector in the space available on the front of the card.
By using standard STP cables in every input and output module a compact and neat cabling can be achieved.
Due to standardization, changes in wiring can be achieved very easily without the need for soldering.
These low cost Cat-5 cables are ready made available from us or from your nearest computer store starting at lengths of 30cm up to 20 meters.
If you need to connect a MICROPHONE to the AXUM take our 19” part number 60882045 break out panel.
Mount it in your studio rack, hook up a shielded RJ45 (STP) cable between the AXUM and this Mic input panel and you're ready.
This also includes the remote wiring! No need to buy twice the amount of expensive XLR’s.
We have five types of patch panels available to choose from, see below.

ENGINE CARD

The engine is the main controller of the rack system. On this card all information for the rack is processed.
The RJ45 Connector is your gateway to the Ethernet switch that is connected to all MambaNet^TM compatible devices.

For service only the following interface connectors are available:

RS232
VGA
Keyboard
Mouse
USB

On the BNC connection you can connect a word clock output signal or a word clock input signal.
The input signal can be terminated with 75 Ohm using the latching switch.
By plugging a DSP card in the I/O rack you add mixing capabilities to your matrix.
In combination with the engine card you create an advanced mixing console.

The DSP card processes 64 mono input channels to 32 busses and 8 monitoring busses.
On an input channel the following processing is available:

Low cut

FRAME-14 CONTROL SURFACE FOR 12 FADERS +CRM SECTION

With the latest software version for the AXUM you can:

- Build 4 consoles/studios with one AXUM system.

- Only give control to functions the customer requires.

- Make fool proof presets like: Sports, News, Talkshow and Nonstop.

- Keep an eye on the console over internet.

- Learn one system for all your broadcast solutions.

Enhanced voice processing on every module

The new functionality of the voice processing may be compared with the Symetrix™ 528E and can be used to get a clean MIC signal (e.g. for HIT-Radio).
Parameters available for custom settings are:

* Downward expander threshold

* AGC threshold

* AGC/Limiter ratio.

Advanced preset system

The preset system is designed to give many possibilities from only an EQ preset up to complete module or console Presets.

You can have:
* Processing presets (used in combination with a source)

* 8 Module presets per module

* Console Presets (32 presets which you can share on the 4 consoles).

For the console presets a time-delay is implemented before loading the preset:

- Shorter than a second: nothing happens

- Between one and three seconds: on-air safe recall

- Longer than three seconds: recall independent of on-air channels.

Dump facility

A buss may be assigned to be exclusive, when routing to this buss is enabled on a module; all other routing on this module is turned off.
So you can make a safe recording of from one or more modules.

Internal web server for configuration

The internal web server is optimized to make the configuration faster and easier to understand.

Remote assistance
Via SSH tools (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell) it is possible to give remote assistance, check system status and eventually do upgrading.

Mono mixing busses

The mixing busses may be used as mono busses.

Time synchronization

It is possible to synchronize the AXUM system to an Internet time server via NTP and/or via a GPS-receiver.

Easy integration with custom software.

There is a library which can be used for communication with the AXUM system.

This is the way to integrate your console(s) with play out systems or other software.

The library can be used by manufactures of play out systems to have start/stop and many more functions accessible via the network. A good example is the implementation of PC-Radio from Broadcast Partners.
Added GPS support for time synchronisation with USB-GPS receivers available from AXEL and Conrad.
A special PC Radio automation hardware section has been designed in collaboration with Broadcast partners.
