MSC X INSTALLATION

The

is designed to be rack mounted in a central control room for fixed

installations or flight cased for touring applications. The 2U enclosure and 19” rack mounting
complies with IEC 60297.

The unit is largely solid state and has been qualified to operate in a dry environment within a
temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).

Since the unit requires no user intervention once installed it is suitable for remote installation
with all configuration and management taking place over an Ethernet network. However it is
recommended that access can be gained in the unlikely event of a hardware failure.

NOTE:

Particular attention must be paid to cooling; under no circumstances should

the airflow to the heat sinks be restricted and a rack fan cooling unit should
be considered when multiple units are stacked together to maintain the
correct ambient temperature.

MSC X VERSIONS

There are multiple versions of the MSC X that differ only in the maximum number of control
channels that can be accommodated. For example, the MSC 20 can control 20 DMX universes
(10,240 channels) while the MSC 200 can control 200 DMX universes (102,400 channels).

The MSC X can be used as a stand-alone controller or co-operatively with other Unison
Mosaic Controllers and Remote Devices, via an Ethernet network, to form a scalable system.
