Workstation Setup
EuCon is a high-speed audio data transfer protocol created by Euphonix. EuCon-aware
applications (Nuendo, Pyramix, Logic) offer full control through EuCon commands,
while Mackie Control Universal and HUI emulation over the EuCon connection en-
ables control of Pro Tools and other software.
Each DAW must be networked with the Hybrid Pilot and the EuCon software must be
installed to enable EuCon control and communication.
1.4.1
Network Configuration
Using straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cables, connect your workstation(s) to the
LAN
ports on the included DHCP-capable network router.
NOTE: You have now created a small local area network comprised of just the Hybrid
Pilot and your workstation(s). To access an outside network, such as a studio
facility LAN or the Internet, connect the WAN port on the router to your studio’s
network switch, or to your cable/DSL modem.
The DHCP server in the included router hands out IP addresses to the devices connected
to its LAN ports: the Hybrid Pilot and your workstation(s). This allows easy plug-and-
play network configuration.
For this reason, the router must be turned on before the
Hybrid and your workstation(s).
1.4.2
EuCon Software Installation
Install the EuCon software on every workstation connected to the Hybrid Pilot through
the DHCP-capable router. Check
www.euphonix.com
for updated versions of the Eu-
Con software.
NOTE: The EuCon software also serves to communicate with the Euphonix MC/Sys-
tem 5-MC products, and contains references to those products.
