M.A.R.S. Multitrack Audio Recording System – this is a 64-channel
multitrack hard disk recorder integrated within the Eclipse
console.
Mix-Box
The Mix-Box (or local audio rack) is the hea
rt the console. It
contains the DSP engine and MCoptical module that manages all
of the console's I/O modules, the Muxipaire interface and
communication with the console's internal PC.
On Eclipse, the Mix-Box is integrated into the back of the console
and provides 8 slots in total: 6 slots for I/O modules, one slot for
DSP and one for the MCoptical card.
Muxipaire
This is the
proprietary INNOVASON transmission protocol used
with Stage-Box.
Nova
Nova is the Eclipse operating software
which runs on the
console’s on-board computer or can be run offline on an external
PC for training, presetting your show, etc.
PCB Personal Console Builder – this display within the Nova Software
is used to configure the console’s faders, Smart Panel controllers
and mix busses. It can be used online from the console, or offline
to create a configuration on an external PC.
SI-8D3
The SI-8D3 is the famous 8-channel microphone preamp module
which gave INNOVASON its reputation for high audio qua
lity. It
can be installed in any distant Stagebox, DioCore
or local audio
rack (Mix-Box).
SmartFAD
This is the name given to the concept of controlling several inputs
from one physical fader. The user can configure a SVCA
(SmartFader Master) to control a number of input slaves
(SFADs). The user can also configure where those slaves appear
when the SEL
button is pressed on the master creating a Smart
Fader zone (SZONE). By configuring multiple SVCAs, SFADs
and SZONEs the layout of the desk can be customised to handle
complex show configurations.
Stage-Box A Stage-Box is a remote stage rack with 8 audio card slots that
can hold 8-channel input or output cards for up to 64 I/Os. Stage-
Box is controlled by a SCoptical card fitted within the unit.
Transmission is via dual coax or optical lines utilizing the
proprietary INNOVASON transmission protocol called Muxipaire.
UM-8PO The UM-8PO is a “universal” signal processing audio output
module providing 8 analog and/or digital AES outputs plus optical
format via an ADAT Tos-link connector. It can be installed in any
distant Stagebox, DioCore or local audio rack (Mix-Box).
The card includes signal processing for each output including a
31-band Graphic EQ, 8-band Parametric EQ, f
requency specific
Dynamics and Delay.
