The Controller Settings dialog lets you configure your Avid editing application to communicate with Artist Series controllers.
To configure your Avid editing application for an Artist Series controller:
1 Double-click Controller Settings in the Settings list of the Project window. The Controller Settings dialog appears.
2 Select Controller > EUCON Controller.
3 Click OK.
Configuring Ethernet Connections (Macintosh)
You can connect your Artist Series controller to either the Ethernet 1 or Ethernet 2 port on your Macintosh system. By default, the
EuControl application is configured to use Ethernet 1. You might need to change this configuration if your system connects to a
corporate network or if it is part of a shared storage environment — for example, if you connect your Macintosh system to an Avid
ISIS system.
For more information, see the most recent documentation that came with your Avid editing application.
Configuring EuControl Settings
Before you can use an Artist Series controller with your Avid editing application, you must configure the EuControl settings. In ad-
dition to establishing communication between your Artist Series units and the EuControl application on your system,
EuControl Settings let you assign functions to keys and other controls on the Artist Series hardware, and connect additional appli-
cations and workstations.
The EuControl application starts when you start your computer and runs in the background. Avid recommends that you make sure
EuControl is running before you start your Avid editing application.
To connect an Artist Series controller to your system:
1 Make sure you have already installed EuControl, confirmed your hardware is connected, and powered the unit on as explained
in the User Guide that came with your Artist Series controller.
2 Start your Avid editing application.
3 Do one of the following:
(Mac) Click the EUCON icon in the dock, and then select Window > EuControl Settings.
(Windows) Double-click the EUCON icon in the notification area.
EuControl Settings application opens. The
All Surfaces list displays all available Artist Series controllers.
For more information, see the User Guide that came with your Artist Series controller.
