Euphonix SH612 Studio Hub User Guide
Chapter 1: Getting Started
1.1 Introduction to the SH612
The SH612 Studio Hub is a TDM signal router using MADI connections to route 672
inputs and 672 outputs. It supports 56 channels at 48 kHz on each MADI port, or 28
channels per port at 96 kHz sample rate, and outputs any input MADI port to any output
port.
For System 5 and Max Air console installations, the SH612 provides the central point
from which to send and receive MADI signals. In these installations, each SH612 is
configured and installed by Euphonix, so you will not often need to modify most of its
parameters. The console has built-in routing control for the Studio Hub. For console
system hookup, see your console’s Technical Overview document in your manual bind-
er.
The SH612 can also operate as a standalone MADI router and as an ES Control capable
router for use with video routing systems. For these applications, all functions can be
controlled from the front panel, or through the standalone Route Manager application
or ES Control capable video router.

Euphonix SH612 Studio Hub User Guide
Getting Started
If necessary, the SH612 can distribute synchronization signals via four AES Sync
(AES/EBU), Word Clock, video, or MTC outputs to System 5/Max Air components.
The SH612 can generate or lock to Time code, or convert between different formats.
All standard time code rates are supported:
•
•
•
•
•
Film: 24 fps
PAL/SECAM: 25 fps
Color NTSC: 29.97 (drop and non-drop)
black and white video rate
MIDI sequencers: 30 fps (drop and non-drop)
NOTE: Euphonix does not recommend using the SH612 for synchronization distribution.
System 5 and Max Air installations should use synchronization distribution amplifiers
with separate sync lines going to each component (no looping). Please see the syn-
chronization notes in your console’s install guide.
The SH612 routes digital audio via 12 MADI In and 12 MADI Out ports, each with the
capacity to receive or transmit up to 56 channels (up to 24-bit, 48 kHz). For sample
rates exceeding 50 kHz, each MADI channel can carry only 28 digital audio channels.
The MADI spec allows 64 channels of audio per port - however, Euphonix’ VariSpeed
technology occupies some of this bandwidth and thus each port supports 56 channels at
48 kHz.
1.1.2
Power On Sequence
Attach the provided IEC-compatible power cables to the two IEC inlets. Connect the
other ends to wall outlets with appropriate plug adapters if necessary. The SH612 power
supply automatically adjusts to any voltage in the range 110–240 V.
We recommend powering up the SH612 before the digital devices to which it is con-
nected. The SH612 conducts a brief self-test routine upon power-up and displays the
firmware revision number. When the Main Menu is displayed, power up the attached
devices.
NOTE: For console installations, please refer to the power up routine for System 5/Max Air-
before attempting to power the DF64 Digital Frames and the Pilot Computers.

1.2 Modes of Operation
The SH612 has two main standalone modes of operation, with different firmware load-
ed for each. The firmware can be flashed in the field if the other mode is desired (typi-
cally it is decided on ordering and the firmware is uploaded at the factory). The two
modes are as follows:
Standard Operation
The SH612 acts as a standalone routing hub for all MADI sources/destinations. Using
the standalone MADI routing application, routes in and out of the Studio Hub can be
created, saved, and recalled as necessary. For more information, see page 19.
ES Control
With the ES Bus capable firmware (the second bootup screen shows ES-Control
Equipped Edition) the SH612 can be controlled by various video routing systems using
the standard ES Bus serial protocol. This negates the need for a separate audio router
for the video routing system, useful in situations with limited space and weight consid-
erations (OB trucks, small studios, etc). Integration for each video routing system is
documented in its own chapter - see the table of contents.
1.3 Setting the Control Port
For both modes, the SH612 must be set to read control messages from its female DE-9
Control port (RS-422 serial), instead of its IEEE-1394 ports (previously used for the
now-discontinued Euphonix R-1 recorder).
First disconnect all cables from the Control and IEEE-1394 ports (the unit does not al-
low Control port settings modifications with cables connected, to avoid accidental
changes). Then proceed as follows:
1. Power on the SH612 and press Select once to enter the Main Menu.
If the SH612 does not display its Main Menu, press the Escape key several
times until the status display is shown, then press Select again.
2. Turn the SpinKnob to highlight Utility Menu and press Select.
3. Turn the SpinKnob to highlight Control Port and press Select.
4. Check that the LCD displays Control Port = RS422 at the top. It not, turn the
SpinKnob to highlight RS422 (at bottom of LCD) and press Select.
5. Press Escape twice to show status again.
6. If you changed the setting, reboot the SH612 to implement the control port
change.
7. Reconnect the control cables.

The Pull-Up or Pull-Down LEDs illuminate when the sample rate is set to a Pull-Up
or Pull-Down rate of one of the three nominal or Custom rates.
The Dual Ref LED illuminates to indicate that the time code and sample rate clock
sources for the SH612 each reference a separate external signal. This means that syn-
chronization must be accomplished externally to the SH612 or the signals may drift.
The SH612’s response to drift varies depending on the mode. Drift is allowed in the
Jam Continuous (1% only) and Jam Once modes. It is only in either of these two
modes that the Dual Ref LED lights. In all other cases the LED is not lit.
The TC Lock LED indicates time code lock status:
•
•
•
Solid LED: Locked to valid time code signal
Flashing LED: No lock because expected time code signal not present
Unlit LED: SH612 is generating internal time code

Chapter 3: Standalone MADI Routing
This configuration requires an SH612 with non-ES firmware loaded (check that the
firmware version number displayed on the LCD at startup does not have “ES” after it).
This is the standard mode of operation for the Studio Hub.
3.1 Connections
If you have not done so, first check that the SH612’s Control port is set to RS422. See
page 9. Then to enable control of the SH612 from the configuration PC:
1. Connect one end of a 9-pin straight-through serial cable (DE-9 connector) to
the SH612 Control port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-422 to RS-232 adapter. The RS-
422 end of the adapter should be connected to the cable.
3. Connect the RS-232 end of the adapter to the configuration PC serial port. (You
may need a female to female RS-232 adapter

Chapter 4: Integration With Jupiter VM3000
Routers
The SH612 with ES-Control firmware can be controlled by the ES-capable Thomson
Grass Valley Jupiter. This chapter details integrating the SH612 with the Jupiter.
Make sure your SH612 has the ES-Control firmware by watching for ES-Control
Equipped Edition and the firmware revision (with ES after the number) on the second
bootup screen on the LCD display when turning on the SH612.
Your Jupiter system must have the ES Bus Router Control and Third Party Router
Control Unrestricted options enabled. If these are not installed, contact Thomson
Grass Valley to obtain them. Without these options, the Jupiter does not have the capa-
bility to control the Studio Hub.
NOTE: This chapter assumes you have an installed Jupiter router system and are trained to
use it. If you are new to the Jupiter system, consult its documentation and familiarize
yourself with its operation before proceeding with this section.
4.1 Connections and Basic Setup
We recommend installing the SH612 in the same rack as the Jupiter VM3000 control
board to minimize cable length and make checking configuration and communication
between the two devices easier.
For the SH612 to receive and acknowledge commands from the VM3000, the Control
power off/on after resetting the Control Port.
NOTE: Make sure no control cables are connected to the SH612 or the following procedure
will not be possible.

Euphonix SH612 Studio Hub User Guide
Integration With Jupiter VM3000 Routers
1. Enter the MADI Routing menu using the SpinKnob.
2. For each MADI port, switch it to Non-Audio Deck and press Select to confirm
the selection.
3. Connect an RS-422 cable (9-pin, male-to-male, straight-through) between the
SH612’s Control port (bottom-right of the rear panel) and the Jupiter’s Serial
port.
The VM3000 has eight Serial ports configured in pairs, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8.
4. Delegate one pair for the SH612.
Do not connect anything to the other port in that pair except another SH612.
4.2 Jupiter Configuration
This section assumes you are familiar using the Jupiter Network Suite and Jupiter Con-
figurator applications to edit Jupiter configuration sets. The examples and figures in this
section document a basic configuration set with only the options necessary for the
SH612 and VM3000 to work together.
NOTE: As the Jupiter manual suggests, we recommend adding rows to the end of the data
tables, instead of inserting them in the middle, to reduce the risk of creating problems
in a working setup.
To configure the Jupiter to control the SH612, open the Jupiter Configurator by opening
the Jupiter Network Suite, click the JNS Tools button at the top, and click Configura-
tion Editor. Then edit the configuration tables as described in the following sections
(each of which is an entry in the Jupiter menu of the Jupiter Configurator).
4.2.1
Serial Protocol
1. Configure the protocol for the port pair to which you connected the RS-422 ca-
ble from the SH612 to be ESC (ES-Control) by selecting it from the dropdown
menu.
Do not use ES-Bus, ES-Physical, or ES-Switch.
Figure 4-1 Jupiter Serial Protocol dialog
2. The baud rate for the port pair should be automatically set to 38400 when ES-
Control is selected. If not, select 38400 from the Baud 7/8 dropdown menu.

The empty rows appear at the bottom.
Figure 4-2 Jupiter Switcher Description dialog
4. Enter a Switcher name in each new row.
We suggest SH612 or something similar to remind you what those levels refer
to. You must put in the same switcher name or the switching will not work
properly.
5. Enter names for the new Level fields.
6. For the two audio levels, enter 768 in the #In and #Out fields.
NOTE: The SH612 reserves bandwidth on the MADI bus to enable Varispeed operation, and
thus carries 56 connections per MADI port instead of the 64 allowed in the MADI
specification. The SH612 has 12 MADI ports so there are 56 * 12 = 672 ins/outs avail-
able. Since the Jupiter assumes 64 per port, this discrepancy must be taken into ac-
count when setting up switcher inputs/outputs. See next section.
7. Enter PLvl values for each logical level.
Choose three unused Plvl numbers; the exact numbers do not matter.
8. In the Driver field for each level, select ES-Bus from the drop-down menu.
This example created a switcher named Euph-SH with six levels for 5.1 sourc-
es, although each input and output device does not require all the levels created.

Switcher Input
1. If you have multiple switchers, select Jupiter->Switcher Input in the Config-
urator.
This displays a dialog to choose which switcher to edit.
2. Click the switcher added in Switcher Description above to describe the SH612.
3. Press OK.
The Switcher Input dialog opens.
Figure 4-3 Jupiter Switcher Input dialog
4. Enter each SH612 input device on a separate row. For each input, enter the
physical inputs for each level corresponding to their inputs on the SH612.
For example, the VTR connected to inputs 1 and 2 of the SH612’s MADI port
1 has its physical inputs set to 000 and 001 (the Jupiter begins its input count
at 000).
NOTE: The first input of MADI port 2 is Jupiter physical input 064, even though the last input
of MADI port 1 is Jupiter physical input 055 (SH612 port 1, input 56). This is because
the SH612 carries only 56 audio channels per MADI port to reserve bandwidth for
Varispeed operation, and the Jupiter assumes it carries the full 64 channels. Thus,
make sure to enter the physical inputs properly on the Jupiter when configuring inputs
on the SH612’s MADI ports: 064 for the first input of MADI port 2, 128 for the first input
of MADI port 3, etc.

Switcher Output
1. If you have multiple switchers, select Jupiter->Switcher Output in the Con-
figurator.
This displays a dialog to choose which switcher to edit.
2. Click the switcher added in Switcher Description above to describe the SH612.
3. Press OK.
The Switcher Output dialog opens.
Figure 4-4 Jupiter Switcher Output dialog
4. Enter each SH612 output device on a separate row. For each output, enter the
physical outputs for each level corresponding to their outputs on the SH612.
Note again that outputs start at 000 so output 1 on MADI port 1 is output 000
on the Jupiter and output 1 on MADI port 2 is output 064 on the Jupiter. There
are no matching outputs on the SH612 for Jupiter outputs 056–063.
NOTE: The Security, S-T, and Password settings do not affect the SH612 routing. Check with
your Jupiter router system administrator to see if they affect your configuration.
5. When finished entering all outputs, click Apply and then Close.
6. Save the configuration set.

4.2.5
AES/Analog Routing
The SH612 treats all signals as time-division multiplexed (TDM) digital signals, which
means that any level of any input can be routed to any level of any output. It does not
matter if the original was an AES digital or analog signal: The Euphonix input convert-
ers (AM713 for analog, DM714 AES), and their corresponding output converters
(MA703 and MD704) feed MADI signals to the Studio Hub, which routes them without
regard to their original format, source, or destination. Analog sources can be routed to
AES destinations, and AES sources to analog destinations. Thus, separate levels need
not be created for AES and analog signals in the Jupiter input and output sets. We rec-
ommend creating levels named Audio 1 through Audio 4 (or your highest level number).
4.2.6
Finishing the Configuration
The basic steps for router integration are complete. You may need to create control pan-
el input and output sets or modify your currently existing control panel sets to accom-
modate the inputs and outputs on the SH612. This is the same as creating Jupiter control
panel sets for any other switcher (see the Jupiter Operations Manual for more informa-
tion). When finished, close the Configurator and activate the edited configuration set
on your VM3000 board by selecting JNS Applications->Control Center.
Before proceeding, verify the routing has been properly implemented. Send audio to
some of the SH612’s inputs and perform some routes using a Jupiter control panel or
the Router Control applet in the JNS Applications tab of the JNS Control Console soft-
ware.

Menu Reference and Technical Specifications
Time Code Mode
The SH612 has three time code outputs: VITC, LTC, MTC. The time code outputs al-
ways represent the current time of the SH612.
Generate - This is the default mode for the SH612. Time code is internally generated,
routed to the time code outputs, and sample-rate-resolved.
External - With this setting the SH612 is locked to an external time code source and
generates the received time code position information at its outputs. This setting corre-
sponds to the Slave key on the R-1 Remote.
External Varispeed - This feature is available only on SH612s configured for R-1
systems.
Time Code Offset
Time Code Offset is only relevant when the SH612 is slaved to an external device or an
external device is slaved via LTC from the R-1. The R-1 does not output offset Time-
code. The Time Code Offset can be positive or negative, and range from 1 frame to
23:59:59:29. A negative offset is subtracted from the Time Code Source value; a posi-
tive Offset is added to the Time Code Source value. The equation for Current Time is:
TC Current Time = TC Source +/- TC Offset
The Time Code Offset defaults to 00:00:00:00 unless specifically set by the user.
To set the offset:
1. Use the left/right arrow keys to position the cursor under each of four double-
digit fields.
2. Use the SpinKnob to set the desired number.
3. To create a negative offset, position the cursor under the + sign and use the
SpinKnob to change to the minus sign.
Jam Sync Mode
Jam Once - Locks when time code is first received and runs independent of incoming
time code thereafter.
Jam Continuous - Locks continuously to incoming time code and resynchronizes
whenever necessary.

Time Code Free Wheel Duration
When the incoming time code signal is interrupted, the SH612 continues to generate
time code while it checks for the resumption of incoming time code within the period
specified in the Time Code Freewheel Duration setting. If the time code source re-
sumes before the Time Code Freewheel Duration, the SH612 checks to see if the dif-
ference between the current time code source frame value and the time code output
frame value is within 1% deviation.
•
•
If the difference is less than or equal to 1%, the SH612 resynchronizes to the
new time code source without interrupting time code or sample rate lock.
If the difference exceeds 1%, the SH612 drops time code and sample rate lock
and locks to the new time code position.
Drift Warning Threshold
Specifies the amount of drift that triggers the drift warning (1–100 frames).
LTC Output Gain
Specifies the output level of LTC in the range -2 to +10 dBv.
