Euphonix System 5 Hybrid Pilot Operation Manual

Chapter 1: Installation and Configuration
This chapter introduces the Hybrid Pilot and instructs you how to configure it and the
Euphonix System 5 console to work together.
1.1
Introduction
As digital audio workstations become more prevalent in the audio production envi-
ronment, it is vital to smoothly integrate them into the production workflow. The
Euphonix MC and System 5-MC products are full-featured control surfaces able to
control and communicate with multiple software products (Nuendo, Logic, Pyramix,
Pro Tools, etc.).
The System 5 Hybrid Pilot brings that functionality into the System 5 console:
•
Tracks can be loaded from DAWs onto the console surface.
•
SmartSwitch functionality enables DAW control and editing directly from the
console surface.
•
Tracks from different DAWs co-exist on the surface alongside tracks from reg-
ular System 5 sources, enabling simultaneous use of many different sources
and total control of the studio from the console.
1.2
System 5 PC Software
Before proceeding make sure your components are up-to-date:
•
System 5 software must be version 3.00 or higher.
•
System 5 Studio Computer SC262/263 must be imaged with .v03 or higher.
•
See System 5 Manual for step-by-step installation instructions.
1.3
Hybrid Pilot Connection and Configuration
The Hybrid Pilot arrives with its software installed and configured, but it must be con-
nected properly.
The first time the Hybrid Pilot is booted after connecting to the System 5, it will check
for new software and automatically update itself. This process may take a few minutes
and briefly delay the Hybrid being visible in eMix.
