Upgrading the EUCON-MC Software
To upgrade the EUCON-MC software on the MC:
1 Download the latest version of the EUCON-MC software from: http://www.avid.com/proseriessupport.
2 Copy the installation executable you downloaded onto a removable USB drive.
3 On the MC, touch Euphonix Menu > Shutdown, then touch Exit To Operating System. This quits the MCApp software.
4 On the MC, click Start > Programs > EUCON > Uninstall. The EUCON Uninstaller removes the EUCON-MC software.
5 Restart the MC.
6 Insert the removable USB drive into the MC USB port. The drive appears in My Computer on the MC desktop.
7 Double-click the drive to display its contents.
8 Double-click the EUCON-MC executable file. The installer program launches. Install the software to the default location:
(C:\Program Files\Euphonix\EUCON).
The MC presents a list of three options to install:
MCApp, EUCON Runtime, etc. This is the main MC software application. It is grayed out (and cannot be deselected) since it must
be installed for the MC to function properly.
MC PC104 Driver, Hardware Support, Firmware This installs the actual hardware driver the EUCON-MC uses to control the MC
surface.
CM408T Software + Update Server This installs the Firmware Updates server, which updates the CM408T module firmware.
See “Firmware Update Server (System 5 MC Only)” on page 10.
9 Click Next in the remaining dialogs in the Install Wizard.
10 Reboot the MC when the Wizard finishes.
Firmware Update Server (System 5 MC Only)
If CM408T Software + Update Server is checked, the Firmware Update Server launches after the EUCON-MC installation com-
pletes. The CM408T modules will then prompt to be updated. If they do not, reboot them and they will connect to the Firmware
Update Server. Press the Y key on each CM408T after the update prompt appears. Each CM408T will apply the update, automat-
ically reboot, and be ready to operate. After all CM408T modules are updated, quit the Update Server.
The EUCON-MC and the EUCON-WS software must have the same version and build or they may not communicate properly.
Check the EUCON-WS version installed on your workstations. Download the current version and install it on all workstations
used with the MC if the version (build) does not match the EUCON-MC software you just downloaded.
User sets are not deleted during the uninstall procedure. However, updated user sets are installed while upgrading the EUCON
software. To ensure these are installed in the default location, back up C:\Program Files\Euphonix\EUCON\User Sets to
removable media, then delete the Usersets folder. The new user sets are not installed if the current ones are not first removed.
Do not uncheck this or your MC will not function.
