INFORMATION

6 ARTEMIS Digital Broadcast Production Console Information
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.
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.
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.
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 its 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.

CONTROL SURFACE

10 ARTEMIS Digital Broadcast Production Console Control Surface
SURFACE DIMENSIONS AND ASSEMBLY
The Artemis control surface can be
customised in terms of width and
fader count, and can be provided with
a number of stand and trim options.
Desk-top mounting
The control surface can be supplied with
no floor stand, or if supplied, the floor
stand can be removed allow for desk-top
mounting, as shown in Figure 1.
Floor stand options
Several floor stand types are available.
The standard 'Studio' type, as shown in
Figure 2 has adjustable feet for levelling.
The 'OB' version, shown in Figure 3
allows for the stand to be bolted to the
floor, typically for use in mobile or outside
broadcast units. Note the OB version
is 7.8mm [0.31'] taller than the Studio
version. Both the Studio and OB style
are also available with a reduced height,
sitting the console 40mm [1.57'] lower
than the standard versions.

as required when fitted in mobile or
outside broadcast units, the OB style
stand replaces the adjustable feet with
extra support and 2 x 11mm [0.43'] holes
in each foot plate, as shown in Figure 4.
Note that the OB stands are slightly taller
than their studio equivalents, sitting the
control surface 7.8mm [0.31'] higher.

Reduced height stands
Both the OB and studio stands are
available in reduced height versions,
sitting the control surface 40mm
[1.57'] lower than their standard height
equivalents, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
Surface sizes
Artemis 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' & '3.5'
A standard Artemis layout consists of a
number of fader panels and a monitor
panel. The standard fader panel is
260mm [10.24'] wide and is fitted with
eight faders across its width. The monitor
panel is 200mm [7.87'] wide and is loosely
termed as 'half-width'
Therefore, for example, a 3.5 section can
be fitted with 3 x fader panels and 1 x
'half-width' or '.5' monitor panel.
Each frame section is as wide as the
modules it can contain, plus a 3mm
[0.118'] bulkhead at each end. Once
assembled, the overall chassis is fitted
with a side-trim at each end. The standard
side-trim is 18mm, adding 36mm [1.42'] to
the overall width.
Standard Artemis consoles are supplied
with a PC monitor screen and keyboard
tray which can be fitted on the left or right

side of the chassis, as specified at order.
If required, a second PC monitor/monitor
mount (and / or keyboard tray) can be
fitted at the other end of the chassis.
PC monitor mounts attach to the side
of the chassis, outside the side trims,
increasing the overall width again by a
further 45mm [1.77'] per monitor mount
fitted..
Consoles can also be supplied without
any PC monitor mounts, minimising the
surface width but requiring the installation
provides a convenient location to display
the main application for the audio
operator.
Where surface width is critical, optional
narrower 5mm side trims (10mm [0.39']
per pair) can be fitted in place of the
standard 18mm (36mm [1.42']) trims.

14 ARTEMIS Digital Broadcast Production Console Control Surface
Access to surface connections
The data connections from the Artemis
processing core to the control surface
are made through a small cut-out on the
rear cover of the control surface located
near the IEC AC input connectors. Two
fibres or Cat5e cables need to be routed
through the cut-out to connect to the
Surface Switches inside the control
surface. A rear interface panel provides
power connections on three IEC's along
with a connection point for earthing the
chassis. Audio and data connections
are also provided for interfacing to audio
driven devices along with ancillary data
connections.
The format of the interface plate may vary
depending on the optional hardware fitted
within the surface. Connector and pin-out
information is provided in the Console
Connection section of this document.
Access to internal surface
components
Removing up-stand meter panels and
control surface panels gives open access
to the Surface Switches and other internal
components. Some early production
models are fitted with hinged rear covers
that allow access from the back of the
control surface.
Non-hinged rear covers can be removed,
however, care needs to be taken to
support the weight of internal components
mounted on the inside of the rear covers
and the cabling to them..

FIGURE 1 - STAND MOUNTING POINTS
FLOOR STAND REMOVAL
If the control surface is supplied with
a floor stand, it can be removed if
required to reduce the overall size
and weight aiding installation logistics
or for where desk-top mounting is
preferred.
The floor stand is attached to the control
surface by eight bolts as highlighted in the
drawing to the right.
With the fixing bolts removed, as long as
the cross beam between the stand legs
is fitted, the stand will be stable, however
care needs to be taken whilst the surface
is not fixed to the stand. If the cross beam
is not fitted and the stand not attached
to the surface, it will be very unstable.
It is not recommended to be working
under the control surface unless it is fixed
in place.
When re-attaching the stand, ensure the
cross beam is fitted to provide stability.
Take care to align the fixings to avoid
cross-threading the bolts. The surface
MUST be correctly fastened to the stand
to prevent possible equipment damage or
personal injury.

SURFACE COMPONENTS
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 and up-stand meter
panels, or by removing the rear covers as
shown in the Surface Dimensions and
Assembly 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. See Figure 1.
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 & S2 are full POE,
power and data, Surface Switches do not
use the power from this feed.
Ports SPR1 & 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 up-stand
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. Artemis up-stand
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. Due to the size of
Artemis up-stand TFT's, the fader panel
cannot power them and therefore they
require an additional connection, from a
POE AP port for power only. See Figure 2.

POE Reset connections
The two ports labelled RST are used
to pass hard reset lines between the
POE's. The reset lines originate from
the up-stand reset panel and are wired
to the 'Reset and Meter' connector on
the monitor panel via a D25 cable. This
cable's pin-out is shown in Figure 3. The
monitor panel's 'Reset' RJ45 connector
outputs the reset signals and is wired to
a POE RST port, the other RST port is
used to pass the signals on to the next
POE and so on, daisy-chaining the signal
through all the POE switches.
It does not matter which RST is used
for 'in' & 'out' or in what order the POE's
are connected. These are hard logic
lines rather than data, ensuring reset
commands can be passed throughout
the system irrespective of the functioning
state of each piece of hardware.

During surface reset, all POE's & Surface
Switches reboot and power is momentarily
dropped to all panels forcing them to
reboot. DSP and control resets are
passed on to the processing core via
the active Surface Switch.
All Calrec fitted Cat5e cables are wired
'straight-through' or 'pin to pin' Panel
cables and I/O to Router cables can be
either straight-through or cross-over,
however POE RST and SPR cables MUST
be wired straight-through.

Surface Switches
The Surface Switch is the interface
between the control surface and the
processing core. To provide redundancy,
two Surface switches are fitted, primary
and secondary. The system will always
attempt to boot and run on the primary,
however if there is a problem with the
primary or its connections, the secondary
will automatically take over.
Like POE's, the Surface Switches are
mounted to the inside of the rear cover,
usually in the same section as the IEC
inlets. Access is gained by removing
control panels or the rear cover as shown
in the surface dimensions section of this
document. When viewed from the front,
the primary Surface Switch is always the
left hand unit. See Figure 5.
To communicate with all the control panels
and PC, each Surface Switch requires a
direct connection to each POE switch.
POE switches MUST be connected to
specific ports in the correct order:
POE #1 connects to surface switch port
PS1, POE#2 to PS2, POE #3 to PS3 etc.
POE's are numbered by location from
left to right across the console. Figure 6
shows the correct data connections for a
3 x POE system. On each POE, port S1
connects to the primary Surface switch,
port S2 to the secondary. LEDs 1 - 6
show activity on these ports and should
display a regular flashing pattern once
booted and comms established. Although
the POE sends power down these lines,
the Surface Switches do not use it.
Any POE SPR ports can be used to feed
Surface Switch PR1/PR2 ports to power
the Surface Switch as well as passing on
the reset signals. LEDs I/P1 and I/P2
indicate if power is present on these ports.
Ports A & B are SFP slots Port A is used
to interface with the Control Processor
in the processing core, port B is currently
unused. The primary Surface Switch
should connect to the primary Control
Processor's 'Surface 1' connector (MAC7
for the 8U or older 4U Control Processor
design) . The secondary Surface
Switch should connect to 'Surface 1'
on the secondary Control Processor.
These connections are NOT supplied
by Calrec and need to be made by the
installer. Please see the Surface to Core
Connection section of this document for
more details.

Artemis control surfaces have 3 x IEC
AC mains inputs requiring 100–240V
AC.
The AC power inlets are wired internally to
three distribution blocks mounted to the
base of the inside of the control surface.
The POE switches have dual power
supplies for redundancy and take two
AC inputs, one from each of the first
two mains sources. The majority of the
remaining hardware in the control surface,

including the PC is DC powered via POE
connections.
The third IEC input and distribution block
is used to power ancillary or third party
items with a single mains input, such as
DK/RTW meters and PC monitors.
To ensure all equipment is powered and
redundancy is applied where available,
all three IEC inputs to the control surface
need to be fed with 100–240V AC. If only
one of the first two inputs is fed, System
Status error messages will be generated
by each POE indicating they are not
receiving power on both inputs.
It is recommended that these two mains
inputs are fed from two separate AC
supplies where possible to provide
redundancy against external power failure.
