3.3 Bridge Card A943.0370 (Redundant Version: A943.037035 and up)
The SCore Bridge card is used in the SCore Live to manage the whole core
system. Two Gigabit Ethernet connectors provide a redundant connection
to the desk or host application. The card downloads code to the DSP cards
and passes serial data, parameters, and meter data between the desk or host
application and the DSP cards. Furthermore, a sub-circuit is acting as a master
clock generator for the system. It can accept video, WCLK and AES inputs
from the External Sync card, and generates a local clock from these. The
implementation has been made in such a way that a change from internal to
external sync or vice versa causes no audible artifacts, and the DSP cards will
continue processing. In a system, the SCore Live runs with the last
setting within less than 10 seconds after powering up thanks to a non-volatile
memory (gold cap backup, capacity sufficient for approx. one week).
Two bridge cards may be plugged into the frame for redundant operation
(A943.037035 and up). The inactive bridge card will not be connected to the
system buses and remains in idle mode. The card is hot-pluggable.
