Chapter 1: Introduction to the Artist Series

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 1-1MC Control and MC Mix

The MC Mix supports two types of applications:

•EuCon-awareapplications (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-awareapplications 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.

EuControl Software

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.
