Chapter 1: Introduction: The Artist Series Media
Controller
The MC Control, MC Mix, and MC Transport comprise the Artist Series family of media controllers. They use a 100 Mbs Ethernet
EUCON™ connection to control audio and video applications running on a workstation computer. EUCON is a high-speed com-
munication protocol and enables control of virtually every application feature.
Each Artist Series media controller can run as a standalone device. Up to four MC Mixes can be used with an optional MC Control
and/or MC Transport to create a larger control surface. Artist Series media controllers borrow many features from the Euphonix
MC Pro and System 5-MC.
The MC Mix supports two types of applications:
• EUCON-aware applications (such as Pro Tools™ 9.0 and higher, Cubase, Logic Pro, and Nuendo) directly support the
EUCON protocol. They provide the highest level of integration, high-resolution controls, and high-speed connectivity.
• Non-EUCON-aware applications that support Mackie Control or HUI (such as Pro Tools 8.x and lower, Live, and Reason) can
use many functions but are less integrated than EUCON-aware applications.
EuControl Software
The EuControl software application is responsible for finding, linking, and communicating with all Artist Series controllers on
the network. EuControl must be installed on the computer that runs the applications you want to control before using Artist
Series controllers.
