Euphonix Media Application Controller Operation Manual

Chapter 7: Working with Channels

7.1

Channel Strips

The MC has four channel

strips

to which workstation

tracks

can be assigned. The track

names assigned to these strips are displayed in the top-right corner of the Main-Tracks
touchscreen. Workstation tracks can be assigned to the strips using the

Channel Select

and

Wave

strip keys, or using the Layouts-Assign Touchscreen. The System 5-MC has

two motorized joystick panners in place of the four faders.

Figure 7-1

Solo

When activated, this button solos the assigned channel. Solo preferences are set on the
Preferences-Solo Touchscreen (see page 37).
