CONTROL PROTOCOLS
In addition to GPI activated controls, the Hydra2 product range supports several protocols to allow 3rd party
equipment to remotely control various features. CSCP (Calrec Serial Control Protocol) can be used to remotely
automate various Brio 36 features.
CSCP
Calrec Serial Control Protocol (CSCP) allows remote control, using third party equipment, of the following:
• Fader positions (including VCA master faders)
• Path cut/on status
• PFL status
• Routing to auxes and mains
• Aux output levels
• Main output Level
• ‘Left to both’ and ‘right to both’ switching
CSCP can be enabled and disabled per fader:
1. Press a fader’s ACCESS button.
2. Tap the fader processing tab.
3. Tap
CSCP ENABLE in the screen header to switch on or off.
When a fader is under CSCP control, this can be overridden by touching and dragging the fader to the desired level.
Setting Up CSCP
Tap SYSTEM SETTINGS in the top right of the screen and select CONTROL PROTOCOLS from the left hand menu. In
this screen the user can configure each CSCP controller device to connect to your network. On the left of the screen the
LAN port IP address information is displayed (see
“LAN CONFIGURATION” on page 192 for more information) so that
it is available for configuring the CSCP controller. On the right of the screen the user can add the CSCP interface, EDIT
the settings, switch on the connection or DELETE the controller from the system. By default, the Assist CSCP interface
will already be defined. Use CSCP version 21 unless otherwise advised by a Calrec engineer.
