CB Electronics Harrison-6

CB Electronics have designed four different systems for use with Harrison Consoles which can be combined with custom designed control  surfaces to suit the different Harrison consoles. CB Systems provide a direct serial connection with the IKIS automation to provide the timecode reader and with the Harrison track arming.
 
The four basic systems are as follows.
• Harrison-4: 4 port system: SR-4HD with custom control surface built into
console.
• Harrison-6: 6 port system: SR-6HD with custom control surface built into console
with optional CBServer Windows/Mac/Linux GUI.
• Harrison-7: 7 port system: RM-6HD in the machine room with CBServer Windows
GUI and UR-422 Motion Remote in the console.
• Harrisson-8: 8 port system: Custom control surface with RS-422 Hub in console,
RM-6HD in machine room with optional CBServer Windows/Mac/Linux GUI


LCD Display  

All Remotes include a LCD Display, where  possible they are built into the console surface. When this is not possible the display is housed in a low profile box that sits on the top of the display. The display unit has either two lines of 40 Characters or 4 Lines of 40 Characters and is supplied with 5 or 8mm high characters depending the space available. When used with CBServer it is also possible to run the system without a LCD Display


CBServer  
CBServer provides a Windows Graphical User Interface and online System Support using the internet.

CBServer2
Mac/Windows/Linux Graphical User Interface and online System Support using the internet.

S29 Parallel Remote
One or more transport remotes connected in parallel may be positioned at different positions in the console.

S29 Panel Mounted in MPC

RS422 Patch Bay  

Using a RJ45 or D9 patch bay to connect machines will allow connection to a selection of machines.

Timecode, Video Sync and Word Clock Distribution

On Larger systems use distribution amplifiers, the input impedance on some machines can be as low as 50ohms and the mix of balanced and unbalanced inputs may also cause a problem.
 
Extra playback machines may be connected using timecode chase.

Harrison-6: Six Port System
A SR-6 with custom remote panel is built into the console. Serial, Timecode, Video and GPIO are connected to the remote in the console. The IKIS RS422 Port is connected to port E or F.  The block diagram below shows CBServer connected to Port Port F, Ikis connaected to port E with ports A, B, C & D available for machine control. The GP Outputs are used to drive the Record and Lock indicators in the Giant Display. Optional S29 Motion control panels may be connected to the GPIO Port.
