Multiple Workstations

Thanks to the EuCon protocol, any combination of the MC Control and MC Mix units can connect to a second Mac workstation.

Any Mac computer such as a Mac Pro, Macbook Pro, Macbook or and iMac, can act as the master Artist Series workstation. It runs both the EuControl and the MC Client applications which are included with each Artist Series unit.

EuControl not only manages how the MC Control and MC Mix units connect to the main workstation but also handles passing on EuCon commends when a second workstation is connected - all this is done seamlessly in the background.

The second workstation has the MC Client application installed to communicate EuCon commands from the first workstation with the applications on the second workstation. Workstation control selection can be done from a dedicated button on the MC Control or MC Mix units.

Keyboard commands from the first workstation can be passed over the EuCon connection to the second workstation or a second keyboard can be used. Preferences in EuCon allow either mode of operation.

DVI switching of the two workstations screens is required, or just simply use two monitors.

Audio from the second workstation needs to be fed into the Studio Monitor Express monitoring application in the first workstation - in the example above the Mac Pro's digital optical ports can be used.

No other controller has this type of architecture for easy switching between two workstations.
