Common Issues and Solutions

My MC does not turn on.

Make sure the MC’s power connector is securely connected. Push on it lightly to seat

it, twist the outer ring to lock it onto the MC, and make sure the transformer is plugged

into the wall.

The MC cannot connect to a workstation; the workstation does not appear in the

MC’s Workstation Setup screen.

• Make sure EuCon Workstation software is installed on the workstation, and that

the Windows Firewall is not blocking the MC Client and EuCon Discovery ap-

plications (see page 20).

• The MC and workstation must be connected to the same TCP/IP subnet (same

switch or router). If not using a DHCP server on your network, make sure the

MC’s IP address is set correctly (see page 21).

• Both the workstation and MC must have the

same

version of the EuCon software.

• Make sure the MC is properly connected to your workstation(s) (see page 23).
• To further troubleshoot this issue, we recommend using a cross-over cable be-

tween the MC and one workstation, to remove network variables from the equa-

tion. Once this setup is working, re-connect the MC and workstation(s) to the

switch/router, and verify proper operation.

The MC does not connect to Nuendo.

• The Nuendo EuCon Adapter must also be installed when installing the EuCon

software on your workstation.

• Make sure your Nuendo license includes EuCon connectivity, and that you have

added the EuCon device in Nuendo Device Setup (see page 92).

• Make sure the MC is properly connected to the workstation. The MC’s Main

Touchscreen should display the name of your workstation computer in the upper-

left corner.

The MC does not connect to Pyramix.

• The Pyramix EuCon Adapter must be installed when installing the EuCon soft-

ware on your workstation.

• Verify that the MC is properly connected to the workstation.

The talkback mic does not produce any audio.

The talkback mic is a condenser microphone and the XLR output is at mic level so it

must be connected to a preamp and provided with 48-V phantom power.
