How to import Davinci Layout into EuControl?? For Avid MC Color

[Jason Osterday]

Also, it seems my Bank Keys are not functioning and my “right” shift executes the same command as my left. How do I get EuControl to differentiate these?

[Ben Scott]

you cant remap it

when pressing the shift keys press once, ignore the lights they dont mean anything, then press the buttons you want

on the artist panel the bank buttons are used as modifier keys for additional button options like the right and left shift

the mapping is ok, it really needs some sort of shuttle control to be as useful as it could be

[Jason Osterday]

So do the “Bank” buttons function in Resolve? The PDF from BMD for the MC Color shows operations mapped to the Bank Keys. So I assumed they were functional.

if your panel not lighting with the resolve fanctions you might need to reinstall the eucontrol application.
you got about 60 mapped keys with the Mc Color and resolve and can actually remap the 1st layer of the (9) soft keys only.

you can search the cow for a label templet I created for the MC color.

Thanks for the help guys. I’ve installed EuControl on 3 or 4 machines and get the same results every time. It “sees” resolve but when you open the customization window it doesn’t have any of the buttons labeled. The functions seem to work but it doesn’t look like a “template” that MC Color is implementing for Resolve.

Also, why does BMD show the “bank” buttons as having a function in their official PDF but they don’t actually work?

[Lee Eaton]

None of the buttons are labeled like they were in say, Apple Color. I think it’s because resolve’s mapping for third party panels is located somewhere in the program itself. you can compare the differences in the control panel xml files located in the resolve package.

you can type in the labels yourself but eucon doesnt differentiate between left and right shift keys like resolve does. It’s pretty half-assed but least resolve supports it. Hopefully in v10 there will be some ability to customize.

So in other words the Bank buttons and the right shift does not work properly? Strange that they printed that PDF with the breakdown but don’t allow any of it to be customized. Or perhaps that is on EuCon’s end?

Are you using the crossover cable that was provided with the panel?

You have 9 soft keys plus right/left shift keys (27) plus F1 and F2 banks for each soft key.

Plus the tabs/room knobs.

I’m using a cat 5 Ethernet cable. The specific crossover cable matters here?

[Eric Hansen]

Mac’s can auto-negotiate ethernet connections, so you don’t need a crossover cable.
