CB Electronics Harrison-8

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-8: Eight Port System
Using a RM-6 in the machine room with a remote control panel in the console simplifies the connections to the desk and expands the number of ports available (3 input ports and 5 output ports). In the diagram below port D on the hub is used to interface with the Harrison IKIS automation, port A on the hub is connected CBServer, the third input may be used to connect with a DAW.
