Euphonix System 5 Hybrid Pilot Operation Manual

Chapter 2: Console/Workstation Operations

This chapter discusses starting up the Hybrid Pilot, communicating with the System 5
console, and using the Hybrid Pilot with System 5.
2.1

System 5 PC Startup

When the Hybrid Pilot is launched, boot up the System 5 PC and launch eMix. Once
launched, check that the list of modules (System 5 Pilot, CM401, CM402, and CM408
modules) includes the Hybrid pilot. If it does not, recheck your steps up to this point to
make sure the Hybrid and System 5 PC are set up correctly. The Hybrid must be listed
to be correctly interfaced with for the System 5. If the Hybrid is updating it may require
a few minutes before it is visible.
2.2

Hybrid Operations

The Hybrid Pilot connects to workstations running the EuCon software and makes their
tracks available to the System 5 surface. These tracks are as easily assignable as any
other input/output source. It also enables application sets, a set of SmartSwitches with
customized functionality for each DAW.

Assigning Workstations and Tracks

1. On the CM401 center module's main panel, press the EuCon button (upper
left).
The panel shows the Setup and Smrt options at the bottom.
2. Press the Setup button.
The panel displays all workstations available.
3. Press a workstation button to attach it to the Hybrid.
The button flashes slowly while the workstation is attaching. The button flash-
es more quickly while waiting for a supported application or while download-

is running and in focus. When the Hybrid has finished, the workstation appears
in the subpanel.

the lower panel of the CM401. To assign a workstation to a different slot, hold
down the desired slot's button and press the workstation's button in the main
