The Control Modules
The System 5 surface is modular and can include 6 different
modules (see opposite page) :
• CM401-T Master Control Module (1ft wide, 305mm)
• CM402-T Sub-Master Control Module (1ft wide, 305mm)
• CM403-F/J Film Module (1ft wide, 305mm)
• CM408-T 8-Fader Channel Strip Module (1ft wide, 305mm)
• CM409-F Blank Module (1ft wide, 305mm)
• Producer’s Desk - Flat worksurface with provision for built-in
high-res 23” TFT screen (2ft wide, 610mm)
Producer’s Desk
Typical Equipment Rack
The rack below shows a typical System 5 system equipment
rack. Further details about the converters may be found later in
the guide. As the system is modular, additional converters may
be added at any time in the future to allow the system to grow
to match production needs and to match the digital/analog ratio
of sources and destinations.
The typical system shown below has the following I/O
totals:
• 24 Mic Sources
• 26 Analog Line Sources
• 26 Analog Destinations
• 56 Digital Destinations (28 AES/EBU pairs)
• 56 Digital Sources (28 AES/EBU Pairs)
• 4 to 24 MADI I/O (4 per DSP Card)

System 5 Frame
The System 5 Frame comes in three standard sizes.*
* Custom Frame sizes are available.
Two frames are available - the traditional System 5 frame
shown opposite, or a more compact frame this is lighter and
more cost effective.
The main console modules connect to the equipment rack via
Ethernet cables for extremely simple hookup, allowing the sur-
face to be placed long distances from the rack. The CM401-T
Master Control Module also includes talkback wiring.
