Page 8: System Requirements
System Requirements Pilot is designed to connect to a Logitek JetStream running DSP version 4.x. Contact Logitek Electronic Systems or your reseller if you are unsure of compatibility, or are adding a Pilot surface to a pre-existing Logitek facility. System Architecture Put simply, the Pilot surface is just a remote control panel for the JetStream. - Page 9 Pilot is designed for use ONLY with the JetStream Router v4.x. The Pilot retains compatibility with other surfaces for the majority of its features. Following is the minimum software release version/date that is required for Pilot support on a JetStream Router v4.x system.

Page 11: Physical Installation
3 Physical Installation The Pilot surface is designed to be mounted on a desk in a semi-permanent studio installation. The Meter Bridge, if optioned, can be screwed to the back of the Pilot. Power Supply Unit The Power Supply Unit is an external brick-style supply. - Page 12 JetStream and the console begins to receive meter data. Mounting The Meter option is supplied separately and attaches to the back of the Pilot frame with two screws (included). The ribbon cable from the Meter attaches to an internal header via a small ribbon cable. The blue side of the ribbon cable should be up.

- Page 14 The Pilot is powered by an external 12VDC 40W power supply, included with the console. Connect the supply to mains using an IEC style inlet lead and the 12VDC to the rear of the Pilot. The included supply can be replaced by any similar unit.
- Page 15 Frame to JetStream The Pilot Frame connects to the Logitek JetStream Router using a balanced serial link. Connection from the Pilot to a JetStream Router JSM-DSP card is via a straight-through RJ45 cable (CAT5 or better is recommended). You can use a dedicated CAT5 patch cable or existing structured cabling. If using structured cabling systems, care should be exercised to ensure the serial connections are not confused with other network outlets and that the link is not unintentionally “un-patched”.
- Page 16 GPI connections are on a single DB25 connector on the rear of the Pilot frame. As wiring schemes vary from station to station, these cables are not supplied with the surface, but are available from Logitek Electronic Systems. They can also be purchased from local suppliers in the required form.

Page 17: Configuration
Configuration of the JetStream Router is done in AEConfig. Currently, AEConfig does not include specific DSP table entries for the Pilot. You should use a Mosaic surface of the appropriate size when configuring a Pilot. In the future, specific Pilot support will be added to AEConfig, however, the two consoles are compatible in DSP allocations. - Page 18 In Pilot v1.x the Device Number of a module is determined by its firmware and position. Dual Controls / Split Consoles The Pilot does not support Dual Controls or Split Consoles. It is designed as a single self-contained console. Softkey Addressing The twelve softkeys on the monitor module follow the Numix Bridge Button addressing scheme, therefore the Bridge Button and Bridge Lamp keywords in Command Builder may be used.
