EuCon Control Protocol

EuCon is a high speed Ethernet control protocol that allows the MC Control and MC Mix to seamlessly connect to any Mac OS X application. EuCon has been developed by Euphonix working closely with industry leading media application manufacturers such as Apple and Steinberg to implement this next generation MIDI control protocol.

EuCon is 250X faster and 8X more resolution than MIDI. Because it’s faster, its control connectivity is much more responsive and feels like a real console. Euphonix implements EuCon in all of its large format pro consoles such as System 5, S5 Fusion, System 5-MC and MC Pro used by thousands of professionals throughout the world to mix movie, TV, music and live venue performances.

With the MC Mix and MC Control you get the same high-speed, high-resolution connectivity and control as the pros.

EuCon White Paper
EuCon was presented by Euphonix to the AES in Oct 06 – the White Paper can be downloaded for reference. It’s a bit technical but it roughly means that EuCon takes MIDI control to a new level as its faster, higher resolution and can send data both ways so the MC Mix and MC Control get metering, parameter values back for display on their surface.
