REMOTE CONTROL
In addition to GPI activated controls,
the Apollo/Artemis/Hydra2 product
range supports various protocols to
allow 3rd party equipment to remotely
control various features.
Two of these protocols can directly affect
control surface operation.
EMBER
EMBER controllers can change the user
memory/show that is on the control
surface, as well as changing alias files
which can change I/O patching.
Input port settings which can be
controlled include:
• Mic input gain
• Mic input phantom power switching
• SRC switching
See the Apollo Installation Manual for
more details.
CSCP
Calrec Serial Control Protocol (CSCP)
allows remote control from 3rd party
equipment over fader positions, path
CUT/ON status, PFLs, routing to Auxs
and Mains, and Aux output levels.
Selecting the main application
>System
Settings>Ext Contro
l screen allows for
these remote control interfaces to be
enabled and disabled. This screen shown
in Fig 1, displays IP addresses and aliases
for the primary and secondary control
processor and any serial control interfaces
that are installed. Static route addresses
are also shown here. Note, that as part of
the System Settings, these settings are
not saved as part of the user memory.
CSCP Per Fader
CSCP can be enabled and disabled per
fader using the External Control Enable
on/off button in the control cell on the
right hand side when in PROCESSING-
Overview mode. If CSCP is enabled
globally from the main application, the
EXTERNAL CONTROL ENABLE on/off
button will allow the user to disable and
re-enable CSCP control for the currently
assigned fader.

Note that the EXTERNAL CONTROL ENABLE on/off button and AUTOFADER
ENABLE on/off button are now on separate controls.
For more information on remote control setup, please refer to the console and Hydra2
installation manuals.
