6. Overview
The top of the Advanced Remote Control features a rotary encoder with push switch function, 2
lower buttons, and 6 upper buttons with Status LED.
The
rotary encoder
is used to change various parameters, like gain and volume. The left but-
ton
Prog
is programmable, and can perform several functions. The same is true for the upper 6
buttons, which also include a status LED to signal the current state.
The default setting is printed on the unit:
Button Function
A Talkback
B Mono
C Mute
D Phones

E Phones

F Ext.
Input
The
Prog
button’s default function is
Speaker B
.
The button
Recall
is used to store and load a
specific listening volume for the Main Out defined
in TotalMix FX. Pushing the knob for 2 seconds
stores the current setting. If the volume (output
level) was changed a quick hit on Recall will
restore the former value.
The ARC needs very little power, which is provided
by the main interface through the attached cable.
7. Hardware Installation
The Advanced Remote Control has a 9-pin Mini-DIN connector at the end of its 5 m long cable.
Plug this connector into the corresponding jack, labelled REMOTE, on the back of the UFX or
UCX.
Do not try to blindly insert the connector by turning and pressing it into the unit’s jack. This
will most likely cause at least one pin of the connector to be bent, so that the connector
either can no longer be inserted or the remote is not fully functional!
Make sure to locate the position of the orientation mark on both the connector and the jack, and
bring the connector into the correct position before inserting it.
8. Driver and Firmware
The UCX supports the Advanced Remote Control from its initial release on.
The Fireface UFX supports the ARC from driver version 1.018 (USB Windows), 3.062 (FireWire
Windows), 1.63 (USB Mac OS X), 3.03 (FireWire Mac OS X), with the DSP firmware 146 or
later flashed into the unit.
Older Fireface UFX that have not been modified (see chapter 3, System Requirements) will
cause the ARC to not work at all, or enter an invalid mode where LEDs will flash constantly.
Details on driver and firmware updates can be found in the respective units’ manual.
