Signal Flow & Processing
 The DSP resources provide a mixture of input channels (INP),
monitor return channels (MON), groups (GRP), main outputs (SUM)
and auxiliary sends (AUX).
 The exact numbers are determined by your choice of production
template.
 Each channel comes with either full or reduced signal processing
(known as tiny channels).
 This enables EQ, Dynamics, Delay, etc. to be applied to both inputs
and outputs.
 The production template also determines the channel type (Broadcast
or Recording), and whether DSP redundancy is active.
 Channels can be configured for mono, stereo or surround operation.

Banks & Layers
 The console supports six control surface banks (1 to 6)
 each with two layers - Layer 1 and Layer 2 Think of
each bank as a separate console, with fast global
switching from one bank to another.
 Within each bank, layers can be switched globally or
individually.
 This makes layers ideal for related channels.

SFP Module Installation
o In order to use the console's rear MADI port, an
optical fibre SFP transceiver must be fitted.
o The SFP module determines the type of optical
fibre connection.
o The following transceivers can be specified at
the time of order and delivered with your
console:
981/60-80 - for MADI multi-mode fibre
981/60-81 - for MADI single-mode fibre

SFP module is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable
 An SFP module is a Small Form-
Factor Pluggable. Simply put, it is
a small transceiver that can send
and receive data over fiber.
 SFPs plug into your network
switch or media converter.
 They are hot-pluggable, so
modules can easily be swapped in
and out.

Cont……….
 The single mode SFP or
multimode SFP means the SFP
transceivers which work at
different types of optical fibers,
 ie single mode SFP will work
with single mode fiber, while
multimode SFP will work with
multimode fiber.

Signal Connections
You should connect all external audio, network and reference signals at the
rear of the console:

1 Analogue & Digital Monitoring (XLR)
 LINE OUT 1 to 8 and AES OUT 1 to 4 are reserved for monitoring.
 Two independent monitor outputs are supported: CRM 1 (5.1 surround) and
CRM 2 (stereo).
 In each case, you may connect either an analogue or digital loudspeaker
system.
 For digital main monitoring, connect your speaker system to AES OUT 1 to
3. Or,
 for analogue main monitoring, connect your loudspeakers to LINE OUT 1
to 6.
 For digital secondary monitoring, connect your speaker system to AES
OUT 4. Or,
 for analogue secondary monitoring, connect your loudspeakers to LINE
OUT 7 & 8.

2 External Mic, Line and AES Devices (XLR)
 The remaining AES IN/OUT, LINE OUT and MIC IN connectors
are free for external devices such as microphones, outboard effects,
playback machines and external metering. They comprise 8 AES IN
(1-8); 4 AES OUT (5-8); 24 LINE OUT (9-32); 32 MIC IN (1-32*).
*Note that MIC IN 32 may be reserved for talkback.
 All XLR connections are electronically balanced.
 AES INs and OUTs conform to the stereo AES 3 standard.
 For LINE OUTs, the maximum analogue level can be adjusted to
 +12, +15, +18, +21 or +24 dBu relative to digital full scale (dBFS).
This is a factory-configured setting; +24dBu is recommended.

3 MADI (optical fibre via SFP Module)
 The console's MADI port carries up to 64 input and output channels.
 It is ideal for connecting a multitrack recorder or external multi-channel device.
The connection conforms to AES 10 and is available on optical fibre LC
connectors, once you have fitted the recommended SFP module.
 The LOCK / ERR LED indicates the status of the MADI link: green = active;
flashing red = link is asynchronous; off = no connection or link is invalid.

Ethernet B (External Network)
The ETHERNET B port provides a network connection to the mc236 control system.

TCP/IP Configuration
To establish communication, you will need to configure the TCP/IP settings for your
computer’s network interface card.
The following screenshots demonstrate how to do so on a computer running
Windows 7 and Mac OS X:

TCP/IP Configuration Cont……..

IPAddress
 The IP address of your computer’s network interface card must be unique, and set
within the same range as that of the mc²36 control system.
• You can check the IP address of your control system from the Central GUI (using the
Signal Settings display).
 For example, if your Lawo system's IP address = 192.168.102.36, then set your
computer's IP address to 192.168.102.101
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask should be identical to that of the system. The default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0.

Operation of MC^2 36
Assigning an Input Source
 On input channels, you can assign any source connected to the console's routing
matrix.
 This can be a local source (from the Rear Connector Panel), or a remote source
(from a Compact IO stagebox or networked Lawo system).
 The simplest way to assign a new source is from the Channel Display touch-screen:
 Touch the channel's source label at the bottom of the display (e.g. A: INP 1), and
then select a directory, subdirectory and input - for example: Local I/O -> Mic ->
Mic 01. Note that sources are listed using both their system name and user label -
System name / User Label:

 Bus Out - the bus outputs
from the console (Auxes,
Groups and Sums).
 Direct Out - the direct
output from any other
channel.
 Insert Send - the insert send
from any other channel.
 Local IO - external sources
connected to the Rear
Connector Panel.
 Ra-Link - external sources
connected to a Compact IO
stagebox (optional).
 Generator - the internal
signal generator (two sine
wave, one pink noise and
one white noise output).

The Signal List Display
• From the Signal List display, you can configure signal routing and edit user labels. You
can also choose which input channels, groups, sums, etc. need to be mono, stereo or
surround.
To route a source to an input channel:
 Select a source – e.g. Local I/O (Directory) -> Mic (Subdirectory) -> Mic 28. Then
select the destination – e.g. Input/Mon A + B (Directory) -> A Inp 1 (Subdirectory) ->
INP 28A.
 Note that input channels support an A/B input switch, hence you will see both A and B
INP Subdirectories.

Assigning Channels to Fader Strips
*To assign a single channel to a fader strip:
 First, put the channel into access - you can do this either by
pressing its fader SEL button (if the channel is already assigned
to the surface), or using the ACCESS/ASSIGN touchscreen
panel as follows:
1. On the SCREEN CONTROL front panel, press the ACCESS /
ASSIGN button to switch the right of the Central GUI from
Monitoring to Access/Assign functions:

2. Enter the channel type - e.g. INP for input channels - the button flashes.
3. Enter the channel number from the numeric keypad - e.g. press 2, 5 and ENTER
for the number twenty five.
 The channel in access is shown in the ACCESS/ASSIGN display.
 With the correct channel in access, select the on-screen STRIPASSIGN button
(shown opposite) - the fader SEL buttons across the console flash, in green:

 Press a fader SEL to complete the
assignment. the fader strip updates and the
SEL button changes colour, from green to red.
 Deselect the on-screen STRIPASSIGN
button, or press ESC, to exit the strip
assignment mode.
To assign a range of channels to consecutive fader strips:
Repeat the steps above to put the first channel into access -
e.g INP 1. Then select the on-screen FIRST LAST
button (instead of STRIPASSIGN).
This time press the fader SEL on the first fader you wish
to assign (e.g. strip1) followed by the fader SEL on the
last fader (e.g. strip 24)

Saving Settings & Next Steps
 At any time you can save the current settings of the console into a new production using the
Save button (on the Production List display).
 Save keeps all the current settings, including any snapshot folders, and saves them under a
new production name. (i.e. this operation performs a "Save As..".)
1. First, select the Production List display by pressing the PROD/FILE button located on the
SCREEN CONTROL panel.
2. Then select the on-screen Save button – the current settings are saved into a new production
which is given a default name (e.g. production 0012):
