Controlling a Second Workstation
MC Control can control applications running on a second computer, referred to in this guide as a workstation. Most users will not

Do one of the following:
1
• Download the EuControl installer from www.avid.com/artistsupport onto the second computer. After downloading, make
sure the installer is uncompressed (.dmg on Mac or .ZIP on Windows).
– or –
• Insert the Installer disc into the second computer.
In the Extras folder, double-click the Install EuCon Workstation installer.
