AVID Artist Color (Euphonix) or Tangent Waves Panel?

[Margus Voll]

Can someone compare the functions covered in both ?

I know ll cooper has some transport control but mc does not support it yet i think ?

Do you mean, that BM doesn’t support MC transport? BM must have a good reason for doing that:-)

[Margus Voll]

i do not know it exactly. but i assume as it has never been talked about it.

different controller and maybe different commands to implement in software.

just assumption.

I have the transport hooked up as well as MC color. The jog and shuttle do not work. But you can map any keyboard shortcut to all of the buttons on the transport. The MC color does not have a button for FF or RR, But i have the ring of buttons around the shuttle mapped to
Previous Scene—Fast Reverse—Reverse—Stop—Play—FF—Next Scene

Im posting how i have my transport mapped.

When you have a broadcast monitor, computer monitor, RAID 60, QIO, mag reader, MacPro, Littlite, and panel, things begin to get crowded on a rig and cabling/power becomes more of a hassle. I’m not saying I’d prefer the large form factor of the Wave on set, but it would be nice to have the Euphonix hooked up and powered via USB alone.

look into power over ethernet solutions ?

Would that work with a Euphonix?

[jake blackstone] “It amazes me how much FUD people are willing to spread for no reason whatsoever.
Just because Euphonix is Ethernet based, it doesn’t mean, that it’s any more difficult to install, than the Wave. As a matter of fact it’s exactly the same. Install software, connect, choose DHCP and you’re done. How’s that more difficult, than USB? In fact, ethernet is more robust, works at long distances, just like any ethernet devices (try to use USB panel on anything, more than 20 ft) and Eupohonix is network-able. You can connect Euphonix to the router and use it with any computer on the network. And I’m not even talking about the ergonomics, with Wave being total abomination. But the bottom line for me is, I’m using it with Smoke and Resolve. With Wave it’s a no go…”

Yeh, and when your ethernet address drops out for no apparent reason in the middle of a grade and suddenly you are frozen, that’s not FUD. I have seen it personally with Eucon on several gigs in post houses, so that’s not theory, that’s actual, real life experience.

Anyone who has ever seen this message pop us when they are working knows exactly what I am talking about:

“Inappropriate EuCon license. Program will crash.”

I think it’s FUD to imply that a problem that you might have experienced means that Ethernet connected control panels in general are unrealiable. If that was really the case, high end systems such as Baselight and the DaVinci 2K wouldn’t have used them.

One issue on a particular combination of hardware does not mean that Ethernet itself is the problem. And it doesn’t make it any more or less reliable than any other interconnect, including USB.

[Margus Voll]

for me it seems like bad configuration if something is dropping.

regular network with cat cabling will newer drop in my studio in normal conditions.

so if this is not from the panel as error then network is really simple to configure
but it needs user to get the basic networking concept. usb is dumb in that sense,
computer sees or does not see the device and thats all.

lan based systems are great for using your computer in the cabin an not under your table.

we are lucky that we have options and everybody can choose the panel they like.
