Euphonix EuCon Manuale Utente

11

The MC Mix and MC Control comprise the Artist Series desktop control surfaces. 
They use a 100 Mbs Ethernet EuCon connection to control audio/video applications 
running on a workstation computer. EuCon is a high-speed communication 
protocol and enables control of virtually every application feature. 

The MC Mix and MC Control can each run as standalone devices and up to four 
MC Mixes can be used, with or without an MC Control, to create a larger control 
surface. The Artist Series

 

borrows many features from the Euphonix MC Pro and 

System 5-MC.

Figure 1-1 MC Control and MC Mix

The MC Mix supports two types of applications:

•

EuCon-aware applications (i.e., Nuendo, Logic Pro) are written to directly 
support the EuCon protocol. They provide the highest level of integration, 
high-resolution controls, and high-speed connectivity.

•

Non-EuCon-aware applications that support Mackie Control or HUI (i.e., Pro 
Tools, Final Cut Pro and Digital Performer) can control many functions but 
are less integrated than EuCon-aware applications. 

The MC Control can provide some functionality over non-EuCon-aware applications 
that do not support HUI or Mackie Control by sending out keystroke commands 
over EuCon. 

The EuControl software application is responsible for finding, linking, and 
communicating with all MC Mixes and MC Controls on the network. EuControl 
must be installed on the workstation computer that runs the applications before 
using the Artist Series devices.
