Workstations - Avid Technology Artist Control User Manual

Automatically Add
The Automatically Add menu has two settings that control what happens to stored Surfaces between shutdown and startup.
All Surfaces (default) This setting is best used when you are the only person running EuControl in your home or studio. It pro-
vides an easy plug-and-play experience by automatically adding your All Surfaces list to your My Surfaces list so you never have
to manually edit the My Surfaces list.
My Surfaces Only This setting is useful in facilities where other EuControl users are on your network. When EuControl starts,
only the surfaces from your My Surfaces list are added. Because a surface can only be claimed by one user at a time, this avoids
claiming another user's surfaces.
Update Firmware
Each time a new version of EuControl is installed, each Artist Transport, Artist Control, and Artist Mix in your system may need
its firmware updated. The firmware is embedded in EuControl so an Internet connection is not required.
To update firmware:
Select each Artist Series controller in the My Surfaces list (Shift-click to select multiple devices).

• The Artist Series controllers must be plugged into a working power source.
• Do not power off any units during the update or attempt to interrupt the update.
• The status for each unit being updated is displayed on that device as well as in the EuControl dialog box.
Show Info
Select an Artist media controller and click Show Info to display the name, and hardware and software information on-screen.

Workstations

An Artist Series controller can control applications running on a second computer, referred to in this guide as a workstation. The
Workstations tab establishes the list of workstations that the WORKSTATION key cycles through. Any workstation running EUCON
software can be in this list, including those controlled by Artist Control.
