Safety Considerations  
Section 2  
Section2 – Safety Considerations  
This section contains definitions and warnings, and practical information to ensure a safe working environment.  
Please take time to read this section before undertaking any installation work.  
Definitions  
‘Maintenance’  
All maintenance must be carried out by fully trained personnel. Note: it is advisable to observe suitable ESD  
precautions when maintenance to any part is undertaken.  
‘Non-User Adjustments’  
Adjustments or alterations to the equipment may affect the performance such that safety and/or  
international compliance standards may no longer be met. Any such adjustments must therefore only be  
carried out by fully trained personnel.  
‘Users’  
This equipment is designed for use solely by engineers and competent operators skilled in the use of  
professional audio equipment.  
‘Environment’  
This product is a class A product intended to form an integrated component part of a professional audio  
recording, mixing, TV, radio broadcast or similar studio wherein it will perform to specification providing  
that it is installed according to professional practice.  
Electrical Safety Warning  
When installing or servicing any item of SSL equipment with power applied, when cover panels  
are removed, HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS CAN EXIST.  
These hazards include:  
High voltages  
High energy stored in capacitors  
High currents available from DC power busses  
Hot component surfaces.  
Any metal jewellery (watches, bracelets, neck-chains and rings) that could inadvertently come  
into contact with uninsulated parts should always be removed before reaching inside powered  
equipment.  
Installation Instructions  
Voltage Selection and Fusing  
Although the majority of SSL equipment uses auto-ranging power supplies, some sub-systems have user-  
selectable voltage inlets. Always confirm that the input mains voltage range is set correctly before applying  
power. Always isolate the mains supply before changing the input range setting.  
If it is ever necessary to replace a blown mains-fuse, then always use the correct rating and type of replacement.  
If a correctly rated fuse continues to blow, then a fault exists and the cause should be investigated or the unit  
returned to SSL for repair/replacement as appropriate.  
Details of mains settings and correct fuse ratings can be found in Appendix A of this manual.

C100 Installation Guide  
Safety Earth Connection  
Any mains powered item of SSL equipment that is supplied with a 3-core mains lead (whether connectorised or  
not) should always have the earth wire connected to the mains supply ground. This is the safety earth and  
grounds the exposed metal parts of the racks and cases and should not be removed for any reason.  
Mains Supply and Phases  
SSL equipment is designed for connection to single-phase supplies with the Neutral conductor at earth potential  
– category TN – and is fitted with a protective fuse in the Live conductor only. It is not designed for use with  
Phase (Live) and Neutral connections reversed or where the Neutral conductor is not at earth potential (TT or IT  
supplies).  
All mains powered assemblies must be connected to the same mains phase. In particular, note that as PSU  
redundancy is standard, the two input leads must NOT be connected across different phases.  
Mains cables will be coded with either of the following colour schemes:  
1
Brown  
or  
2
LIVE:  
Black  
White  
Green  
NEUTRAL:  
EARTH:  
Blue  
Yellow/Green  
Mains Isolation and Over-Current Protection  
An external disconnect device (switch) is required for this equipment which must be installed according to  
current wiring regulations. A detachable power cord, if fitted to this equipment, is a suitable disconnect device;  
otherwise an approved disconnect switch is required – the rating of which is defined in the product specification  
(Appendix A) and on the equipment itself.  
An external over-current protection device is required to protect the wiring to this equipment which must be  
installed according to the current wiring regulations. The fusing or breaking-current is defined in the product  
specification. In certain countries this function is supplied by use of a fused plug.  
Some equipment (specifically units with PSU Redundancy) utilises multiple power sources. This is clearly  
marked on the equipment. The finished installation must also be clearly marked to ensure that all sources of  
power are removed before servicing begins.  
Physical Safety  
Most subsystems are too heavy for one person to lift. Take particular care when removing the computer chassis  
from the equipment rack.  
If the console trim is removed for any reason then there may be sharp edges exposed on the frame metalwork.

Safety Considerations  
Section 2  
CE Certification  
Note that the majority of cables supplied with SSL equipment are fitted with ferrite rings at each end.  
This is to comply with current European CE regulations and these ferrites should not be removed.  
If any of the console metalwork is modified in any way – particularly the addition of holes for custom switches  
etc. – this may the adversely affect the CE certification status of the product.  
FCC Certification  
The equipment which forms a C100/Centuri system has been tested and found to comply with the  
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a  
commercial environment.  
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of  
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required  
to correct the interference at his own expense.  
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union  
The symbol shown here, which is on the product or on its packaging, indicates that this product  
must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their  
waste equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point for recycling of waste  
electrical and electronic equipment. The separate collection and recycling of your waste  
equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is  
recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information  
about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local city  
office, your household waste disposal service or where you purchased the product.

C100 Installation Guide  
Section 3 – Pre Installation Information  
Physical installation of the console is normally carried out by a specialised transportation company. In some  
cases this will have been arranged by the local SSL office, in other cases by the facility.  
The cables that run between console and processor can be shipped in advance of the console in a separate kit (the  
pre-install kit). These cables should be installed by the facility engineers. Instructions for installing these cables  
are found on pages 29 to 31 of this manual.  
Note: Cables for the connection of ancillary functions, Meters, talkback, oscillator and any custom switches etc. are  
not supplied by SSL and will need to be provided by the facility. See pages 43–45 for wiring information.  
Before the console is installed all building work should be completed and the environment MUST be clean  
otherwise the warranty will be rendered invalid.  
Before commissioning can take place the following MUST be completed:  
• Air Conditioning installed, tested, blown-through and working  
• Lighting installed and tested  
• Cable Trunking installed  
• Wall and floor finishes completed  
• Power Distribution installed and tested  
• Cables installed and tested  
• Monitor loudspeakers installed and working  
• Other utilities (telephone, water etc.) available  
Services provided by SSL  
Commissioning  
All C100 systems include on-site commissioning by an SSL engineer. This is usually expected to take from 2 to 4  
days depending on system size, configuration and options. Large systems, or consoles split for shipment, may  
require an additional 1–2 days of commissioning time.  
You will be contacted by your local SSL office or agent shortly before delivery to arrange a commissioning date.  
Training  
Two days of standard operator training are provided with each C100 system. If required, this is scheduled to take  
place immediately following the commissioning period and is usually carried out by the commissioning  
engineer. A further day of advanced operator training is available at additional cost.  
On-site maintenance training is also available at additional cost. This can be either one day for a basic overview  
or two days for more advanced training.  
Training should be requested at time of order. For all training, we recommend that no more than five persons  
attend each session. If the use of an interpreter is necessary the training period may need to be extended (at  
additional cost). Note that travel and subsistence costs are not normally included. Please contact SSL’s Training  
Department at: [email protected].  
Warranty  
All systems normally include 13 months warranty from date of shipment. This does not include consumable  
items such as magnetic media, disks etc. Further details may be found in SSL’s Conditions of Trading (printed  
on the reverse of all SSL invoices).

Pre Installation Information  
Section 3  
Physical Requirements  
Console Control Surface  
The console control surface can be specified to have from 8 to 96 channels so the size and weight will vary  
considerably. A dimensioned footprint drawing for each specific console control surface can be provided by SSL’s  
Project Engineering Department. See page 8 for an example of a 32-channel footprint.  
Consoles can be built with split points at any profile (at additional cost). The console can then be split for  
shipment to simplify installation into client’s premises. Reassembly will be by SSL engineers.  
Refer to Appendix A for weights and power consumption information.  
Rack Mounting Equipment – Centuri, NetBridge and Stageboxes  
The Centuri Processor is a 15U height chassis into which a range of I/O cards can be fitted. The system’s  
processing and DSP resource is also housed in the Centuri rack. The Centuri is therefore fitted with cooling fans  
and is expected to be housed in a separate ‘machine’ room.  
A 19” equipment rack will need to be provided into which the Centuri Processor can be mounted. Note when  
positioning the rack that cards are inserted into the Centuri Processor from both the front and the rear depending  
on function. Clearance for access to cards must therefore be provided both in front of and behind the rack (see  
page 10 for service clearance diagram).  
NetBridge – which is an option – is a 2U high rack mounting unit.  
Remotely located stageboxes (C-SBs) – which are also optional – may be specified. These are 14U rack units.  
Note. Centuri, NetBridge and stagebox units MUST be supported on shelves and not only by the rack ears.  
SSL can supply 39U 800mm deep equipment racks and shelves if requested (at additional cost). Other rack  
heights are available to special order.  
Acoustic Isolation  
Because of the noise generated by cooling fans adequate noise isolation should exist between the machine and  
control rooms/recording areas.  
Noise figures for individual units are given in Appendix A.

Pre Installation Information  
Section 3  
Air Conditioning Requirements  
Air conditioning will almost certainly be required for both the Machine and Control rooms in order to maintain  
the temperature and humidity to within the required levels.  
Power dissipation figures for console control surface and equipment rack are listed in Appendix A.  
Appendix E contains the environmental specification for SSL equipment.  
Cable Ducting  
Cable ducting will be required between the console and the Machine room (as well as to any outboard racks and  
the recording areas). The ducting provided should be of sufficient size such that approximately 50mm x 35mm  
is available for console surface connection.  
The connectors for all control and interface cables are located beneath the console’s Centre Section. The connector  
panels are orientated so that cables will route towards the rear of the desk.  
The mains input power connector will be located on a separate panel. This panel is usually positioned in a bay  
adjacent to the Centre Section nearest to the centre of the console but may vary due to console layout.  
Cable sets are available in 10, 16, 20, 25, 48 and 80m standard lengths. Sets longer than 16m are at additional cost.  
Service Access  
Access to all major electronic assemblies within the frame is either from the front or from beneath the console.  
The meter LCD panels are retained by finger-screw fastener beneath the top trim. The top trim is designed to  
hinge upwards to allow access to these screws. If the console is being built into restricted space – as in some  
mobile installations – then always allow a minimum of 80mm clearance above the top trim (see opposite).  
Sufficient clearance must be provided in front of and behind the rack into which the Centuri processor is  
installed so that cards can easily be removed. See the drawing on page 10 for minimum clearances.

Pre Installation Information  
Section 3  
Technical Requirements  
Video Sync Source  
The Centuri Processor requires a feed of video sync. Other sources – MIDI or wordclock etc. – cannot be used as  
the sync reference.  
The sync required is 75Ω 1V(pk-pk) black-and-burst video. The standard can be either PAL (625 line, 50Hz) ,  
NTSC (525 line, 59.94Hz or 60Hz). Composite sync may also be used.  
Many other studio peripherals (digital recorders, editors and all video picture recorders) will also require a feed  
of video sync. Depending on the studio configuration, a suitable video distribution amplifier may also be  
required.  
Note : The Centuri processor does not provide internal sync generation.  
Power Connections – Mains Input Voltage & Current  
Both the console control surface and the Centuri processor rack are fitted with auto-sensing power supplies and  
will function at any voltage from 90 to 250 volts without adjustment.  
The console is supplied with one or more detachable mains leads. These leads are 2m in length and the cable  
diameter is 11mm. The free ends of these leads are unterminated for connection to a suitable outlet.  
The inrush current present when powering the console can be significant – typically ten times the steady current  
– so the use of ‘slow’ or ‘motor’ rated fuses/circuit-breakers is recommended.  
NetBridge (which is a separate 2U unit – see page 23) is fitted with a voltage select switch for 230V or 115V  
operation. Confirm that the voltage is correctly set before applying power – see page 23.  
See Appendix A for equipment specifications.  
Grounding  
A standard system should not require any additional grounding over and above that supplied by a correctly  
installed mains supply. All rack unit chassis are permanently bonded to mains earth. A permanent mains earth  
connection via the mains inlet must be provided.  
If, due to the quality of the mains wiring within an installation, it is deemed necessary to improve upon the  
mains earthing, chassis ground connection points are provided as follows:  
Centuri rack chassis ground can be accessed via a stud located on the rear panel.  
Console chassis ground can be accessed via a stud located on the mains power connector panel.  
All audio connectors, both analogue and digital, have their screen pins connected directly to the chassis at the  
point of entry to comply with AES/EBU grounding and EMC standards.

System Components  
Section 4  
Section 4 – System Components  
This section gives an overview of the main units in the system. See Appendix A for specifications and  
Appendices B and C for connector details and pinouts.  
C100 Console  
Each console control surface will consist of one Centre Section and can be specified to have from 8 to 96 channel  
faders in groups of 8. (Note: a group of 8 faders and controls and its frame is termed a bay). See page 10 for frame  
sizes.  
Each console channel-bay consists of four sections: Faders, Channel Control, Master Channel and the meters. It  
is only necessary to have one Master Channel tile fitted to the console frame as this can be used to access all  
channels, although for convenience and additional flexibility additional Channel Masters may be fitted to any  
bay.  
Only the faders are removable individually, all other panels (termed tiles) are 8 channels wide.  
Note that the number of physical faders fitted does not limit the number of processing channels available; this is  
determined by the amount of DSP resource fitted to the processor.  
The Centre Section may optionally be specified with a 6 or 8-channel LCD phase-scope and has additional space  
for mechanical meters. Alternatively, a range of custom meter configurations is possible; these should be detailed  
at the time of order.  
The console frame may be specified to have 19” wide sections for script space (known as ‘Producer’s’ tables).  
These can be fitted with either a full-depth flat table or a shorter table and 7U of equipment racking. A 7.2° corner  
section is also available to create angled frames.  
Every C100 console is fitted with dual redundant power supplies as standard. Accordingly, there are two  
separate mains input connectors beneath the console.  
The standard moulded end trims can be substituted by a thin trim panel (approximately 8mm) for installations  
where width is limited.  
SSL's Project Engineering Department can provide specific console footprint drawings detailing layout, size and  
metering options during the specification process.

Section 4  
The Centuri Processor  
The Centuri processor is a 15U high 600mm deep rack unit. Cards are fitted to the front and rear of the chassis  
so space for access is essential. See page 10 for chassis dimensions and minimum service clearance.  
At the front of the processor are located the plug-in PSU units. One unit is capable of powering the system.  
The panel below the power supplies is fitted with either a 250Mb Zip drive or an SD memory card reader. This  
is used to transfer system software onto the internal hard disk. This panel may also be fitted with the optional  
MO drive for project storage.  
Below the drives is the front card-cage which has space for 11 plug-in cards, numbered from left to right. The  
cards are arranged as follows:  
Slots 1–4 Channel DSP cards.  
Slot 5  
Slot 6  
Always fitted with a DSP card for the Centre-Section mixes.  
Reserved for future expansion.  
1
Slots 7–10 I/O cards – micamp cards (digital/MADI cards to special order only) .  
Slot 11 Always fitted with the system disc card; unless the dual-redundant disc option is specified.  
There rear of the processor has space for 12 plug-in cards. Note that these slots are numbered from right to left.  
Slots 1–4 Available for I/O cards (analogue, digital and MADI).  
Slot 5  
Slot 6  
Always fitted with the console’s Routing/Link card.  
Reserved for the optional GPI/O card.  
1
Slots 7–10 I/O cards – analogue, digital and MADI (mic cards to special order only) .  
Slot 11  
Slot 12  
Always fitted with the Console-Interface card.  
Always fitted with the CPU card.  
Note that front and rear mounting I/O cards, although functionally identical, are physically different so it is not  
possible to exchange cards between back and front after specification.  
Below the rear card-cage are connectors for MIDI functions and another labelled ’Expansion’. These are not  
implemented in the C100 system.  
(1) Specifying rear mounted micamp cards or front mounted digital/MADI cards will extend the order lead time.

System Components  
Section 4  
Centuri – DSP Card  
The DSP cards supply the signal processing function for the Centuri system. Each card provides 32 channels of  
processing. DSP cards are all the same and do not require configuration, they can therefore be fitted into any of  
the first 5 slots in the front of the Centuri rack.  
For a system to pass any audio, there must a card fitted in slot 5 and a card in slot 1.  
Centuri – Disk Card  
This is a 1.5 width card which is always fitted in the right-hand slot (slot 11) of the front card-cage. It houses the  
system hard-disk. This card is not fitted if the dual redundant disk option is specified. In this case a blank panel  
is fitted and the system discs are mounted internally in the space beneath the power supplies. A front panel key  
switch is provided to select which disk is in use.  
Centuri – CPU Card  
The Centuri Processor is always fitted with the CPU card. It must be fitted to the left-most rear slot.  
The CPU card is fitted with connectors for the following functions:  
(1)  
Ethernet  
Video 1–3  
Sync

The ethernet connection is used for SSL control information, it is not TCP/IP protocol. Do not combine with  
proprietary networks. Standard ethernet repeaters can be used.  
Centuri – Console Interface Card  
The Centuri Processor is always fitted with one Interface card. It must be fitted to the rear of the card-cage next  
to the CPU card.  
The card provides the connection to the console’s control surface and handles all switch and lamp signals. Of the  
three ‘Control Surface’ connectors, only numbers 1 and 2 are used as these contain sufficient capacity for the  
largest C100 console.  
The ‘Machine Control’ and ‘Timecode’ connectors are not used by C100.  
Centuri – Routing/Link Card  
The Centuri is always fitted with a Routing/Link card. It must be fitted to the rear card-cage in position 5.  
This card has two functions. The first is an internal function to organise the audio routes across the system’s  
backplane. The second is to provide access to the optical audio interfaces to the stageboxes and/or MORSE  
router (if specified). These optical audio connections are called Fibre Links and there can be from 1 to 4 fitted to  
the Routing card. Fibre Links are cost options and should be specified at the time of order. Note that each fibre  
link comprises two individual fibre optic connectors – one each for send and for receive.  
Fibrelinks are available as either multimode or singlemode versions. The multimode link can be used for cable  
lengths of up to 550m and the singlemode version for up to 2km.  
If no fibre links are specified then the two cutouts in the front panel will be fitted with blanks.

System Components  
Section 4  
Centuri – Micamp Card  
The Microphone input card (generally known as the BMA or ‘Broadcast Mic Amp’) provides 12 input channels.  
The input is via a female Varicon (EDAC) connector. Mating connectors can be supplied as a cost option.  
Each of the mic inputs has a buffered split output. The buffering takes place after the input pad, the RFI filter  
and the 25KHz low-pass filter but before the variable gain stage. The split output has a gain of 26dB above the  
mic input level (or 6dB with the pad in circuit) but is unaffected by the consoles’ mic gain setting. The split  
outputs are available on two female 25-way D-type connectors.  
Micamp cards are normally fitted to the front of the Centuri. If more than 48 channels are required then rear  
mounting cards can be specified as a special order.  
Refer to section C for connector pinouts.  
Centuri – Analogue I/O Card  
The Analogue card provides 24 channels of balanced line-level input and output. At least one Analogue card will  
need to be included if analogue monitor amplifiers are being used. The connectors used are Canon DL96 types.  
Mating connector kits and a contact crimp tool can be supplied (as cost options). This card is rear mounting only.  
See page 57 for the DL pinout.  
Centuri – Digital I/O Card  
The Digital I/O card is available in two versions: 110Ω and 75Ω. Both types provide 64 channels (32 AES/EBU  
pairs) of digital input and output. The 110Ω card provides balanced output signals whereas the 75Ω card is  
unbalanced for correct matching to co-axial cables. Sample rate conversion is available on every input so the card  
can accept input rates from 32kHz to 96kHz. The connectors are all D-25 type females and mating connectors can  
be supplied (as a cost option).  
A breakout panel is available as an option for the 75Ω card – this converts D-25 connectors to chassis BNC plugs  
and comes with 1m connecting looms. These panels should be mounted behind the Centuri rack; they cannot be  
remotely located because the linking cables are unbalanced.  
Front mounting versions of the digital cards are available to special order only.  
Centuri – Madi Card (Copper version)  
The MADI I/O card can operate in two ways: either as a 56 channel varispeed I/O multitrack interface (at 48kHz  
12.5%) or as a 64 channel fixed 48kHz link (station router). In either case a source of sync is required. The sync  
source can be AES, Word sync or self clocked from the MADI bitstream. This sync source must be derived from  
the same station video reference as used for the CPU card sync input.  
The card is fitted with dual MADI connections – MADI A and MADI B. The outputs are duplicates of the MADI  
signal so that a safety backup can be made without having to use external distribution. For the inputs, MADI A  
has priority but MADI B will take-over if the A signal is lost.  
Centuri – Madi Card (Fibre version)  
Operates exactly the same as the copper version but the MADI connectors are now singlemode or multimode SC  
optical types. The fibre type must be specified at time of order.  
Centuri – GPI/O Card  
The optional GPI/O card provides 60 GPI inputs and outputs. Inputs (which can trigger many console functions  
including channel faders and cuts) are opto-isolated. The outputs are provided by relay closure. Access is via 25-  
pin D-type connectors; inputs are male and outputs are female.  
Only one GPI/O card can be fitted to the Centuri rack.

System Components  
Section 4  
C-SB Stagebox (option)  
The C-SB is a Mic/Line input/output stagebox which can be located remotely from the Centuri chassis. It  
operates at 48KHz sample frequency and is a 14U high, 462mm deep, rack-mounted unit.  
At the front of the unit are nine slots for plug-in cards: six slots for mic/line input cards; two slots for line output  
cards and one for the CPU card. At the rear is an auto-ranging switch-mode power supply. This will accept input  
voltages from 90–250v without adjustment. The PSU units provide two un-switched mains outlets via IEC 6A  
shuttered sockets. A 2nd power supply unit may be fitted to provide redundancy.  
Each micamp input card provides 8 channels, therefore a C-SB rack may be fitted with from 8 to 48 mic inputs.  
The line output card also provides 8 channels but also features 4 channels of GPI relay closure. The CPU card is  
fitted with a headphone socket to allow local monitoring of sources and also provides four analogue outputs via  
a 25-way D-type connector. These outputs are assigned from the console and may be used for additional  
analogue feeds, such as talkback or SLS.  
Each mic input is provided with a split output. This output functions in the same way as the BMA circuit. (ie.  
post pad, limiter and 26dB buffer but pre the variable gain stage). The split outputs are available on 25-way D-  
type male connectors.  
(1)  
Remote stageboxes are linked to the Centuri core using duplex LC fibre-optic cable for the audio data and a  
(2)  
separate ethernet cable for the control functions (gain, pad, filter etc.). The audio fibre links to a stagebox can  
be duplicated thus creating audio redundancy for critical or on-air reliability. (Fibre Links for the Centuri rack  
should be specified at the time of order).  
The standard unit is fanless and so can be located within the live production area; subject to the following note.  
A low-noise fan ventilation kit is available as an option.  
Note: The stagebox racks are cooled by convection at the front of the rack. The air flow from bottom to top of the front  
panel must not be obstructed in any way (cable guides are provided at each side to route cables away from the air  
intake). The air temperature at the intake and at the rear PSU heatsinks MUST NOT exceed 30° Centigrade.  
Special considerations need to be observed when fitting stageboxes into flight cases – refer to Appendix F.  
(1) The fibre optic cable is available in two types: for distances of up to 550m (multimode fibre) and distances of up to 2Km  
(singlemode fibre).  
(2) The standard maximum limit for ethernet cable is 100m. For distances of over 100m ethernet repeaters may be needed.  
Alternatively, the ethernet cable can be converted to fibre. This can then run the same distances as the audio fibre. Please  
discuss specific requirements with SSL’s Project Engineering Department.  
MORSE System (option)  
The MORSE (MOdular Resource Sharing Engine) system provides a cost-effective, scalable solution for the  
sharing of local or remote audio I/O and managing control data. The system is designed for on-air reliability and  
features optional redundancy on all data links and fault tolerant proprietary software.  
The system comprises a central router to which remote stageboxes and consoles are connected via optical MADI  
links. Up to 24 individual links are available.  
The router is a 3U 19” rack unit. Stageboxes are connected to the router and I/O can then be allocated to any  
C100 console connected to the router.  
Stageboxes can be 3U or 6U 19” rack units and each can be fitted with up to 56 channels of I/O. Plug-in modules  
are available for mic, line, AES, MADI and SDI (due 2007). A 2nd redundant power supply can be fitted to the  
6U version. Stageboxes are connected to the router using one or two duplex optical MADI links.  
The MORSE system is more fully described in a separate document. Part number 82S69MOR10A.

System Components  
Section 4  
NetBridge (option)  
NetBridge is a 2U rack mounting unit.  
The NetBridge provides two main features. Firstly (as the name suggests) it is a bridge between the proprietary Solid  
State Logic network, and the standard TCP/IP protocol, allowing remote diagnostic connection over the Internet. Up  
to 7 diagnostic ports may be served by a single NetBridge unit, with secure log-in facilities enabling trained staff  
or SSL engineers to access diagnostic functions remotely from any location worldwide.  
Note: Do not combine the SSL Network and the facility’s TCP/IP network; they are different protocols.  
Secondly it can be used to transfer data files between the C100 console to which it is dedicated and the ‘SSL-Network’  
central file server (CFS). This allows C100 session templates (used for offline configuration) and project archives to be  
moved across the Internet without requiring access to the console’s CPU.  
Using the secure login access provided by NetBridge, users may upload a console template to a secure website,  
edit the configuration offline and then reload their profile prior to the production saving valuable setup time.  
Parameters available for offline configuration include fader strip allocations, channel names and type, bus  
routing assignments, processing order, output options and fader grouping setup.  
NetBridge requires access to the facility’s internet service. To do this, an Ethernet connection will be required.  
The NetBridge will also need permission to access the SSL Network secure server; this may require the  
configuration of any firewall software that may be in use. (See page 39 for further information.)  
NetBridge does not have dual power supplies as it is not critical to console operation.  
Note: NetBridge is not fitted with an auto-ranging power supply and the input setting must be confirmed before  
applying power. The voltage select switch is located on the rear of the PSU unit, see opposite for switch location.  
To change the setting:  
1. Switch off and remove the IEC lead.  
2. Using a small flat-bladed screwdriver, slide the select switch so that the appropriate voltage is indicated.

External Keyboard / Trackball (options)  
There is an inbuilt software keyboard included in the C100 system. This is accessed via the Centre Section touch  
screen.  
Alternatively an external USB computer keyboard and or USB mouse/trackball may be connected to the audio  
connector panel using the connectors provided. The diagram opposite shows the location of these connectors.  
Script Tray (option)  
The script tray is a movable transparent panel which fits over a channel bay. It has rollers fitted to allow it to  
move along the length of the desk.  
The script tray does not require modifications to the console and can be added to existing consoles.  
Loudspeaker Shelf (option)  
A flat secure shelf is available for the positioning of loudspeakers, monitors etc. Each shelf is 400mm wide by  
253mm deep. A supporting rail is fixed to the console back panel for each speaker shelf. Additional support rails  
can be fitted so that shelves may be moved to different positions along the console.  
TFT External Input (option)  
This option allows any of the channel bay TFT screens to be switched to show an external XGA (1024x768) video  
signal. The switchover is effected either by a GPI closure triggered from a free button or by a dedicated switch  
mounted on a custom panel (not included).

Main & Redundant Console power  
Console to Centuri  
a) Connect both the console’s Harting mains leads to independent mains supplies. For live transmissions  
work it is recommended that one of the power sources will be from an un-interruptable source. The  
console is fitted with auto-ranging power supplies which will accept mains voltages which range from 90  
to 255V without adjustment.  
THE TWO POWER SOURCES MUST NOT BE FROM DIFFERENT PHASES OF A 3-PHASE SUPPLY.  
THE MAINS SAFETY EARTH MUST BE CONNECTED  
b) Connect both the Centuri’s IEC leads to independent mains supplies. The Centuri crate is also fitted with  
auto-ranging power supplies which will accept mains voltages which range from 90 to 255V without  
adjustment.  
c) If specified, do not connect a source of power to the NetBridge until the voltage select switch position has  
been confirmed. The NetBridge operates at either 115V or 230V ranges and its power supply must be set  
to the appropriate range for the local supply.  
Refer to the diagram on page 22 for the location of the voltage select switch.  
d) Earth Wiring – A chassis to chassis earth cable needs to be installed between the console and the processor.  
This keeps the two earths at the same potential thus preventing currents flowing along the signal cables.  
Run the green chassis earth cable from the Console’s earth bolt to the similar earth bolt located on the  
Centuri chassis.

a) Front Panel Cables – Locate the two MDR–MDR front panel cables and connect them between the Centuri  
Control card and the console interface panel as shown opposite. Although there are three connectors at  
both the Centuri and the console end, only connectors 1 and 2 are used.  
These cables are symmetrical, having the same connectors at each end.  
Note: The front panel cables are only supplied in 16m, 48m or 80m lengths. This is due to a timing requirement for  
the high speed serial data. Do not attempt to shorten these cables. The connectors on these cables are not removable.  
b) Network Cable – The Centuri processor uses an RJ45 Ethernet network to communicate with the C100  
console, Stageboxes and NetBridge. The console has a built-in 4-way Ethernet repeater.  
Connect the ethernet lead between the Centuri CPU card and any of the four ‘Ether’ sockets beneath the  
console.  
If Netbridge is specified then a second RJ45 Ethernet lead will be supplied with the system. This lead is  
connected between the console and the ‘SSL Network’ connector on the NetBridge rear panel.  
c) Serial Cables – Three RS422 serial cables are supplied for the installation. These connect the CPU card in  
the Centuri to the touch screen, the bitpad (keyboard trackball) and the keyboard (if fitted).  
The processor card is fitted with a 62-pin connector for the eight serial ports. An adapter lead which  
breaks-out the 62-pin connector to eight off 9-way D-type male connectors is provided. Connect the three  
serial leads as shown in the diagram opposite ensuring that the correct ‘TTY’ connector is used in each  
case. Note that 9-way D socket–socket adapters will be necessary at the Centuri end.  
d) Video Cable – There are three video outputs available on the CPU card. Video 1 and Video 3 are static  
background displays. Video 2 is used for the Centre section touch-screen display.  
Note that the picture output from video 2 is rotated 90° so the Centre Section touchscreen can be used in  
‘portrait’ orientation. If for any reason you wish to duplicate the video 2 output, then any monitor used  
will have to be turned onto its side to display correctly.  
Connect the video cable as shown in the diagram opposite. The cable is male-male so does not have to be  
run in a particular direction.  
Note: SSL does not recommend that the supplied video cable be extended. Doing so may reduce the video quality as  
the cable is matched to function over long runs; these cables are of a high quality individually screened type. Longer  
cables are available from SSL.

I/O – MicAmp Card (SSL ref. 908)  
Each MicAmp Input Card contains 12 Microphone circuits. The inputs are accessed via a Varicon (aka. EDAC or  
Elco) 56-way female connector.  
The split outputs are accessed via two 25-pin D-type female connectors.  
Refer to Appendix C for the connector pinouts.  
SSL is able to supply mating connectors if requested, (at additional cost).  
If more than one micamp card is fitted then the card furthest to the right will have the lowest input number and  
the channel numbers will increment by 12 as each card is added. Any cards added subsequently, should be  
placed to the left of any existing cards otherwise the channel numbering will be altered.  
I/O – Analogue input/output Card (SSL ref. 904)  
The Analogue Card provides 24 circuits of electronically balanced input and output. These circuits are accessed  
via Canon DL 96 way female connectors; mating connectors are available to order  
Refer to Appendix C for the connector pinouts.  
As is the case for the MicAmp, cards added subsequently should be placed to the left of existing cards.  
The default line-up level for analogue I/O is 0dBFS = +18dBu. This level may be globally altered and can range  
from +9dBu to +24dBu. The value can be adjusted from a setup screen to match the standard operating level for  
the facility.  
Note. When assigning analogue card output channels as insert sends, the routing system will automatically assign  
the same input channel number as the corresponding return. It is therefore necessary to physically wire outboard  
equipment so that circuit allocation follows this arrangement.

I/O – Digital Input/Output Card 110Ω (SSL ref. 902XF)  
The Digital Input Card provides 32 balanced AES/EBU signal pairs of both input and output. All circuits are  
accessed via 25-pin D-type female connectors.  
Refer to Appendix C for the connector pinout for this card.  
Mating connector kits can be ordered for the card.  
As in the case of the Analogue I/O, cards added subsequently should be placed to the left of existing cards.  
Note. When assigning digital card output channels as insert sends, the routing system will automatically assign the  
same input channel number as the corresponding return. It is therefore necessary to physically wire outboard  
equipment so that circuit allocation follows this arrangement.  
I/O – Digital Input/Output Card 75Ω (SSL ref. 902XJ)  
This version of the Digital I/O card is externally identical to the the 110Ω version (apart from its designation  
number). The Impedance of each input and output circuit however, is now 75Ω for correct matching to  
installations using co-axial cabling.  
A separate BNC interface panel is available as a cost option. This is 2U high and is fitted with 64 chassis mounted  
BNC plugs – 32 input and 32 output. 1metre D25–D25 interconnecting looms are provided.  
As in the case of the Analogue I/O, cards added subsequently should be placed to the left of existing cards.  
Note. When assigning digital card output channels as insert sends, the routing system will automatically assign the  
same input channel number as the corresponding return. It is therefore necessary to physically wire outboard  
equipment so that circuit allocation follows this arrangement.  
I/O – MADI Card (SSL ref. 902XG copper version / 902XH/K fibre versions)  
The MADI I/O card can operate in two ways: either as a 56 channel varispeed I/O (multitrack interface) or as a  
64 channel 48kHz link (station router). In either case a source of sync is required. The sync source can be AES,  
Word sync or self clocked from the MADI bitstream.  
The Card is fitted with dual MADI connections – MADI A and MADI B. The outputs are duplicates of the MADI  
signal so that a safety backup can be made without having to use external distribution. On the input side, MADI  
A has priority but MADI B will take-over if the A signal is lost.  
The fibre version of the card – see page 18 – has duplex SC optical connectors for both MADI A and B. The Fibre  
type can be either singlemode or multimode (this must be specified at time of order).

Installation Wiring  
Section 5  
I/O – GPI I/O (SSL ref. 907XA)  
The GPI I/O Card contains 60 circuits of opto-isolated input and 60 circuits of relay-closure output. Inputs are  
accessed by 25-pin D-type male connectors and outputs by 25-pin D-type female connectors; mating connector  
kits are available to order.  
Both the input and the output circuits are fully isolated from the processor electronics. On output connectors,  
there is a protected source of +15V available an, a 0V reference is available on input connectors.  
The input and output signals can be either latching or momentary; this is individually assigned in software using  
the touch screen. When set to momentary, the input signal duration needs to be greater than 50mS.  
Note: When used for track arming and tally, the tally must return to the same number input as the output signal.(ie.  
the tally for GPI out 1 will be on GPI in 1).  
The switch closure is by DIL relay. Contact rating is 100Vdc, 125Vac, 100mA max. Do not use the output contacts  
to directly switch capacitive or reactive loads; always use an external relay with a suitable contact rating.

Installation Wiring  
Section 5  
Stageboxes & Fibre Links  
The C-SB Stagebox utilises fibre-optic connection between itself and the Centuri Processor. This has the  
advantages of noise immunity, reduced weight and bulk of wiring and the elimination of earth loops. A separate  
control signal (for gain, pad, filter etc.) is carried over the SSL ethernet network. This control signal can be  
converted into fibre optic for runs longer than 100m.  
The standard connectors for the fibre links are duplex LC at both the Centuri and the Stagebox ends. A 2m lead  
is provided as standard with each stagebox.  
When Stageboxes are specified, it is recommended that a 10/100 ethernet hub/switch is installed so as to provide  
isolation for the remote network connection(s). A 1U rack mounting 16-port switch is available as a cost option.  
Longer fibre cables and/or ruggedised OB cable using adaptor panels/patch panels are options. SSL is able to  
provide a range of fibre solutions although the facility may prefer to provide its own fibre installation. Details of  
fibre installation options should be discussed with SSL’s Project Engineering Department at the time of order.  
For location of Stageboxes at distances of greater than 100m from the Centuri rack the ethernet control cable will  
have to be buffered – using an ethernet repeater/switch – or converted to fibre.  
The maximum length for a multimode Fibre Link is 550m, and for singlemode is 2km.  
The Centuri Routing card can be fitted with up to eight Fibrelinks. These are arranged in four groups of two  
labelled as ‘Port 1’ to Port 4’.  
Note: Each Port on the Routing/Link card actually provides up to four separate connections (two pairs).  
Connections numbered 1 and 3 are for the primary Fibre Link and numbers 2 and 4 are reserved for the optional  
redundant links.  
Remote stageboxes may be connected to the Centuri core in any order.

Installation Wiring  
Section 5  
NetBridge Installation  
NetBridge has eight serial ports plus two Ethernet ports. The first Ethernet port is connected to the C100’s  
network. The second port is for connection to the Internet; this can be via DHCP server (for a dynamically  
assigned IP address), or a static IP address defined by the operator. The IP number (in ‘dot’ notation) will be  
shown on the front panel while the unit is powered.  
In facilities with a firewall to the Internet, this address is likely to be for internal use within the installation and  
not visible to the outside world. For external diagnostic access, the firewall will have to be set to pass (and  
redirect) the appropriate incoming traffic to the NetBridge unit, which will have to be agreed with and  
configured by the facility’s IT staff.  
NetBridge operation is more fully described in a separate document which is supplied with the hardware.  
Connection  
The eight serial ports are all located on the single 62-pin connector (a breakout adaptor is provided). Serial ports  
1 to 7 can be connected to the ‘Console’ port on the Centuri’s CPU card (on port TTY-E), allowing one NetBridge  
to have terminal diagnostic access to up to seven C100 processors.  
Serial port 8 may be connected to a data terminal (or software terminal emulator) for permanent local diagnostic  
access without requiring login. (see Appendix C for cable details)  
Access  
For security purposes, the NetBridge file transfer functions can only be accessed by one registered user who  
must be logged into the Central File Server (CFS). This uses the secure HTTPS protocol, which must be passed  
through any firewall (and redirected as required), although this is unlikely to cause any security concerns as it  
has 128bit Secure Socket Layer encryption. For file transfer between the console and the CFS, the user must be  
logged in at the console itself. For file transfer between the CFS and another computer (eg. authorised freelance  
engineer or SSL support staff), the user may login from an Internet connection, with the same username and  
password security requirements.  
Diagnostic access also uses ‘Secure Socket Layer’ encrypted login, and is available to multiple users  
simultaneously over the TCP/IP network link. They can log-in as terminal users and each run the terminal client  
application on the NetBridge to give them switched access to the seven serial ports.  
File Transfer  
If a console operator wishes to export a session template to the CFS so that others may create offline setups from  
it, secure login from the C100 allows that file to be uploaded to the facility’s private account on the CFS, so that  
registered users can download the template and upload their own setups. Any existing setups in that account  
can be downloaded from the CFS to the console’s hard disk.  
Remote Diagnostics  
In order to access a C100’s diagnostics through its NetBridge, first you need to know the IP address of that unit  
(on the front panel, or defined by a firewall/router), which can be determined by contacting the facility’s IT staff  
or consulting the security arrangements agreed with them. Once a secure connection has been made, running the  
terminal server application on the NetBridge will allow you to connect from the Internet to any of the seven  
‘console diagnostic’ ports on that NetBridge.

Installation Wiring  
Section 5  
Talkback and Oscillator  
Talkback Connections  
The C100 console contains a built-in talkback microphone and amplifier. In addition, a second input is available  
for connection to an external dynamic microphone. This input is mixed with the internal T/B mic and the  
combined signal is available via an XLR connector on the audio interface panel beneath the console. This signal  
should be connected to an analogue input circuit in the Centuri processor. The circuit chosen can then be  
assigned as the talkback source via the console’s routing.  
The gain of each mic signal can be independently adjusted. Access to the trim controls is from beneath the  
console on the console interface panel.  
The external mic input is via a 3-pin XLR female labelled ‘Ext T/B Mic In’.  
The mixed T/B output is via a 3-pin XLR Male labelled ‘Talkback Output’.  
See Appendix C for connector pinouts.  
Oscillator Connections  
The C100 system includes an inbuilt software oscillator. This can be assigned to any relevant output without  
additional cabling.  
Alternatively, an external oscillator (either analogue or digital, mono or stereo) may be used. In this instance one  
or two circuits should be allocated on an input card, these can then be assigned in software.

Section 5  
Meters and Phasescope  
The Centre Section of the C100 console may optionally be fitted with an LCD phasescope and/or twin moving-  
coil mechanical meters (PPM or VU). Two standard phasescope types are available, the MSD600C or the RTW  
10830. Other custom meter solutions may be possible.  
Cable connections to the meters and phasescope will need to be run between the Centuri and the Console. Both  
balanced analogue and 110Ω digital cables may be necessary depending on configuration. These cables are not  
supplied by SSL.  
The mechanical meters require two circuits of balanced analogue audio.  
The MSD600C 5.1 phasescope has inputs for 6 digital signals (3 AES/EBU pairs), plus a serial diagnostic port.  
The RTW 10830 has eight digital input signals, eight digital output signals, eight analogue input signals plus a  
remote control port. Note that two of the analogue input signals will also feed the mechanical meters.  
The Analogue meters could be parallel feeds from the console main output signals or, alternatively, independent  
feeds from the analogue output card.  
See Appendix C for pinouts of the Meter Inputs and Phase Scope connectors.

Appendix D – Audio Interfacing  
Appendix D: Audio Interfacing  
All analogue audio inputs and outputs are electronically balanced. The screen pins are all directly connected to  
the chassis at the point of entry to comply with AES/EBU grounding and EMC recommendations.  
Balanced Circuits  
It is strongly recommended that balanced connections are used wherever possible using high quality screened  
cable. The following diagram shows the recommended connection with both screens connected to the chassis:  
Balanced – Balanced  
both screens connected to chassis  
(recommended)  
chassis  
chassis  
On some older items of equipment the screen connection may still be referenced to the circuit 0V rather than the  
chassis. In these cases it may be advantageous to disconnect the screen at this connection. Note however that this  
practice will degrade the EMC performance.  
Balanced – Balanced

Connecting to Unbalanced Equipment  
Connecting to unbalanced equipment can be much more problematic. It is much more likely that earth and  
induced RF currents will become referenced to the audio 0V which will give rise to audible hum and buzz.  
The recommendation for connection of balanced to unbalanced equipment is to isolate unbalanced connections  
by using a balancing transformer.

Appendix F – Stagebox Installation  
Appendix F: Additional Information for Installing Stageboxes  
When positioning and installing C-SB the following rules must be followed:  
• Unobstructed airflow at front and rear.  
• No obstruction to airflow, horizontal or vertical, within 300mm in front, above and below both the front  
and rear panels.  
• Ambient temperature no more than 30˚C measured at the air intake (lower front opening) or just below the  
rear heatsink.  
• Microphone cables must not obstruct the air intake. To help ensure this, a cable guide is provided down  
the sides of the rack.  
Design Requirements for a Flightcase  
If a Stagebox is to be installed into a flight case the following requirements, in addition to those above, must be  
met to ensure adequate passive cooling – otherwise user must install a ‘forced-ventilation kit’.  
• Both front and rear covers must be completely removed during operation.  
• The front and rear covers must be deep enough to ensure that the front and rear faces of Stagebox are flush  
with front and rear of the open flight case.
