Signal flow in a CINETRA/NEXUS System
Because of the versatile routing capabilities that only a digital system
such as NEXUS/CINETRA is able to offer, any conventional wiring diagram
showing the signal flow in an »analog« style would remain
unclear. The simplifying diagram illustrates the flexibility in a much
better way: All resources such as inputs and outputs, processing channels,
and mix buses are grouped all around the central NEXUS audio network.
After all, the idea of a random access to all system resources has come
true!
The CINETRA console and the NEXUS audio network make up the overall
system. The signal flow from the input to an output allows for innovative
solutions compared to conventional systems; however, the standard scheme
is as follows:
|
| |
Inputs
The output signals from external devices are fed to the NEXUS boards
that are installed in decentralized base devices.
|
|
Input Routing
The resources that are available within the entire NEXUS system
are routed to the desired mixing-console input channels using the
CINETRA input matrix.
|
| |
Input Channels
Signal processing is performed in the audio channels. As with analog
desks, the processed signals can be routed to buses of different
types.
|
| |
Buses
The buses either are routed to the processing channels or bypass
them. Their signals are then fed to the NEXUS system via the CINETRA
output matrix.
|
| |
Outputs
Finally, the output signals are available at the NEXUS outputs.
|
| |
Inserts
External processing units or cinema processors are connected to
the NEXUS, too. This allows for routing these devices to the desired
point within the signal path.
