IMPORTANT INFORMATION
After Sales Modifications
Please be aware that any modifications
other than those made or approved by
Calrec Audio Limited or their agents, may
invalidate the console’s warranty. This
includes changes to cabling provided by
Calrec and variations to the recommended
installation as detailed in Calrec
documentation.
Modifications to this equipment by any
party other than Calrec Audio Limited
may invalidate EMC and safety features
designed into this equipment. Calrec
Audio Limited can not be liable for any
legal proceedings or problems that may
arise relating to such modifications.
If in doubt, please contact Calrec Audio
Limited for guidance prior to commencing
any modification work.
Third Party Equipment
Integrating third party equipment into
a Calrec system may compromise the
product's ability to comply with the
radiated emission limits set in the EMC
(Electro Magnetic Compatibility) standard
EN55022.
Calrec Audio Limited can not be
responsible for any non-conformities
due to use of third party equipment. If
in doubt, please contact Calrec Audio
Limited for guidance prior to integrating
any third party equipment.
Installation
In many installations the AC power
connectors will not be readily accessible,
effectively making the equipment
permanently connected. The installation
should be carried out in accordance
with all applicable installation rules and
regulations.
Service Personnel
The AC power disconnect devices are
the 2 x IEC (IEC60320-1 C13/C14)
couplers located at the rear of each unit.
WARNING: The apparatus has a dual
power system. It is essential that BOTH
AC power IEC couplers are disconnected
to prevent exposure to hazardous voltage
within the unit.
ESD (Static) Handling Procedures
In its completed form, this equipment has
been designed to have a high level of
immunity to static discharges. However,
when handling individual boards and
modules, many highly static sensitive
parts are exposed. In order to protect
these devices from damage and to protect
your warranty, please observe static
handling procedures, for example, use an
appropriately grounded anti-static wrist
band. Calrec will supply an electrostatic
cord and wrist strap with all of it’s digital
products.
All modules and cards should be returned
to Calrec Audio Limited in anti-static
wrapping. Calrec Audio Limited can
supply these items upon request, should
you require assistance.
This applies particularly to digital products
due to the types of devices and very
small geometries used in their fabrication,
analogue parts can however still be
affected.
RoHS Legislation
In order to comply with European RoHS
(Reduction of Hazardous Substances)
legislation, Calrec PCB and cable
assemblies are produced with lead-free
(tin/copper/silver) solder instead of tin/
lead solder. See Figure 1.
In the unlikely event of a customer
having to carry out any re-soldering on
Apollo, Artemis or Hydra2 hardware,
it is imperative that lead-free solder is
used; contaminating lead-free solder with
leaded solder is likely to have an adverse
effect on the long-term reliability of the
product. Circuit boards assembled with
lead-free solder can be identified (in
accordance with IPC/JEDEC standards)
by a small oval logo (see Figure 2) on the
top-side of the circuit board near the PCB
reference number (8xx-xxx). The same
logo is used on the connector hoods of
soldered cable assemblies.
If in doubt, please check with a Calrec
customer support engineer before
carrying out any form of re-soldering.
ISO 9001 and RAB Registered
Calrec Audio Ltd has been issued
the ISO9001: 2008 standard by the
Governing Board of ISOQAR.
The award, for both UKAS (Figure 3)
and RAB (Figure 4) registration, is the
most comprehensive of the ISO9000
international standards. Granted in
recognition of excellence across design,
development, manufacture and after-
sales support, the certification follows a
rigorous and thorough review of Calrec’s
internal and external communication and
business procedures.

APOLLO
CONTROL SURFACE

10 APOLLO Digital Broadcast Production Console Control Surface
SURFACE DIMENSIONS AND ASSEMBLY
The Apollo control surface can be
customised in terms of width and
fader count and can be provided with
various stand and trim options.
Desk-top mounting
The control surface can be supplied
without a floor stand to allow for desktop
mounting, or for mounting into a custom
stand or control room furniture. Figure 1
shows the end elevation with no stand
fitted.
Floor stand options
The standard height stand sits the surface
of the fader panels at a height of 740mm
[29.13'] above the floor. A reduced height
stand is also available, positioning the
surface of the fader panels at 700mm
[27.56'], the overall height being reduced
by 40mm [1.57']. Both versions of the
stand have inline fixing holes to allow
the stand to be secured to the floor
without affecting the footprint, typically
when being used in mobile or 'Outside
Broadcast' units. The standard height
stand fixing holes are 10mm in diameter.
The reduced height fixing holes are
8.5mm, designed to be used with M10
tapping screws, or alternatively adjustable
feet can be added here to bring the fader
height up to 720mm [28.35']

Total surface width (including 50mm trim)
Internal leg measurement
External leg measurement
Surface sizes
Surface sizes are stated in the number
of faders they can contain. A number of
chassis sections are fitted together to
provide a control surface of a suitable
width to contain the number of faders
required, or to fit the physical space
available. Often chassis' are ordered to
be larger than is required at the time to
allow for a future increase in the quantity
of faders.
Chassis sections come in a variety of
widths and are defined by the number
of control panels that they can contain
across their width. Chassis sections
currently available are '2', '2.5', '3' & '3+'.
Each section contains two rows of panels
in the control bed. A standard Apollo
layout consists of a number of fader
panels and a dedicated monitor panel
fitted in the bottom row, and a number of
assignable panels along with a joystick
panel in the upper row. Both control
bed panel rows are the same height and
panels can be fitted in either. Standard
panels are 250mm [9.84'] wide, these
include the assignable panels and fader
panels. The dedicated monitor and
joystick panels are 130mm [5.12'] wide
and loosely termed as 'half-width'.
Therefore, for example, a 2.5 section
would generally be fitted with 2 fader
panels and a 'half-width' monitor panel in
the bottom row, and 2 assign panels and
a 'half-width' joystick panel in the upper
row. A 3+ section allows for a joystick
and monitor panel to be fitted in the same
row as each other alongside 2 standard
panels. 3 standard panels can be fitted
in the other row which would then also be
fitted with a 10mm blank panel to fill the
remaining space.
FIGURE 5 - INTERNAL / EXTERNAL LEG MEASUREMENTS
FIGURE 6 - OVERALL SURFACE WIDTH

CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 13
Each frame section is as wide as the
modules it can contain, (2 section -
500mm, 2.5 section - 630mm, 3 section
- 750mm, 3+ section - 760mm) plus a
3mm wide bulkhead at either end. Once
assembled, the overall chassis is fitted
with a side trim at each end. The standard
trim is 50mm, adding 100mm [3.94'] to
the overall width of the control surface.
Consoles without a floor stand can be
supplied with optional 10mm [0.39'] wide
side trims instead if physical space is
limited. Note however that the PC monitor
mount cannot be fitted to the 10mm wide
trim, therefore a suitable alternative will
need to be provided by the installers to
give the operator a conveniently located
PC monitor display.
A standard chassis build is fitted with
a PC monitor and keyboard tray at the
right hand side of the control surface. As
an option, these can be fitted at the left
hand side. If required, monitor mounts
and keyboard trays can be fitted at both
ends of the console. One of these would
typically be used as a convenient location
to control / display other equipment such
as playout devices.

REAR CONNECTION INTERFACE AND COVERS
Access to surface connections
Data connections from the control surface
to the processing core are made to the
back interface panel, located next to the
left hand leg when viewed from the back,
as shown below.
Two fibres or Cat5e cables (depending
on connection SFP type ordered) should
be connected to the back panel from
where they are routed internally to the two
Surface Switches.
The rear interface panel provides power
connections on three IECs along with a
connection point for earthing the chassis.
Removing these screws allows
the rear panels to fold down,
providing access to the inside
of the surface without
removing control panels.

The rear cover of the surface is hinged
to provide access to internal surface
components. The hinged panels are
fixed by screws along their upper edges
as shown above right. Once unscrewed
they can be carefully lowered. They will
support their own weight at the end of
their travel and require a certain amount of
space at the rear of the surface for access
as shown on the right. Alternatively, the
internal components can be accessed
from the front by removing control surface
panels.

There are a range of components
within the surface. This section
explains how these components
are connected, receive power and
communicate with each another.
POE (Power Over Ethernet) switch
Control panels in the surface have a single
connection that carries all data and power
via an RJ45 connector from a POE switch.
The number of POE switches fitted in
a control surface is determined by the
number of panels fitted. Each POE switch
can connect to up to six control panels.
POE switches are mounted to the inside
of the rear cover and are accessible by
removing control panels, or by opening
the rear covers as shown in the Rear
Connection Interface and Covers section
of this document.
Each POE switch has two AC mains
inputs and two PSU's to provide internal
and external power redundancy. 'Power
Good' LED's 1 & 2 indicate each power
supply is receiving mains and active. A
PSU failure or loss of a mains input will
generate a System Status error message.
Each POE switch has 16 RJ45
connections, split into two groups - A & B.
The A group of connectors are full POE
- carrying both data and power. Status
LED's are provided for these ports which
should display a steady, regular flashing
pattern once the system is booted and
comms have been established.
Connections P1 to P6 are used to
connect to control panels. Control panels
must be connected to the correct POE
unit and port, as defined by the Surface
Layout page in the Main application. The
Surface Layout page, and other utility
software refers to these ports simply as
POE ports 1 - 6.
When a surface reset command is
received by a POE switch it momentarily
cuts the power on ports P1 – P6. Control
surface panels are 'reset' by cycling power
to them.
Each POE switch requires a connection to
both the primary and secondary Surface
Switches. POE connector S1 connects to
the primary Surface Switch and connector
S2 connects to the secondary Surface
Switch. Although S1 and S2 are full POE,
power and data, Surface Switches do not
use the power from this feed.
Ports SPR1 and SPR2 are uninterrupted
during reset and are used to provide
power to the Surface Switches, PC and
any other items that may need to remain
powered during reset, such as ancillary
audio feeds. The SPR connections also
contain the reset lines from the upstand
reset panel for the surface, control and
DSP which the active Surface Switch acts
upon accordingly. All other hardware,
such as the PC will ignore the reset lines
in the SPR feed.
The B group of connectors do not pass
data. Ports AP1 – AP4 are ancillary
power, used to power 'non-intelligent'
units with no control processor or data
connection, such as moving coil meters.
AP connections drop power during
surface reset.
Upstand TFT panels do not have a direct
data connection from a POE. They have a
connection to a fader panel which carries
out the processing and passes on the
data to the display.
