EuCon Hybrid
What elevates S5 Fusion above other mixing systems is
EuCon Hybrid. EuCon is a control protocol developed by
Euphonix which allows high-speed Ethernet control of any
application.Apple’sLogicPro,Merging’sPyramix,Steinberg’s
Nuendo,MOTU’sDigitalPerformerandApogee’sMaestroall
directly support EuCon for the ultimate in control integration.
EuCon also supports control of applications such as Pro Tools
and Final Cut Pro.
eMix
Operations such as system setup, file management, patch-
ing, and diagnostics are managed by a program called eMix
which runs with a screen and keyboard, usually situated next
to the console. PatchNet, a powerful digital patching system
that handles patching for all the console’s inputs and outputs,
replaces a traditional patchbay with a system that can store
and recall every single patch that is made.
