CM403 Installation
CM403 Module
The CM403 uses the same form factor and architecture as a standard control module
(CM401, 402, 408). A single Ethernet port connects the module to the system via the
100 BaseT EuCon switch. The CM403 houses a TFT and fits three panels of the same
size: Film Post and the Dual-Joystick Panels. The Film Post panel can be placed above
or below the Joystick Panel depending on the preference of the operator. The user has
the option of placing their own motion controller, such as a JSK Engineering Inc. P2
Control Head or Soundmaster ION™, into the spare panel.

console, which is used for monitoring and record control.
External Record Control
The Euphonix EXT 25-pin connector on the rear panel of the CM403 accepts two
external closures:

Record Control Setup
Version2.5 ofeMix addedrecord and track-armingfunctionality to the System5 console.
Version 3.0x (or higher) of the TT007 software is required.
One record machine with up to 48 tracks is supported; additional record machines can
be supported using third-party hardware. Contact Euphonix customer support for more
information.
Perform the following steps to enable record- and track-arming:
1. From the Main Panel on the CM401, select Machines.
2. Select Setup and set the options on this panel to reflect your preferred method
of operation.
NOTE: Only the master console should be set to “Disarm on Stop” if this option is de-
sired. Setting both consoles to do this will cause problems with tally informa-
tion.
3. On the TT007, display the Utility menu.
4. Set REC Safe to Off.
5. The TT007 normally sends record commands to the Master machine. To
record- or track-arm a Slave machine, set Re-Direct to the port of the machine
you wish to control.
6. Enter Port Mode by pressing the port’s button twice.
7. Set Record to Edit and Track Arm to On.

NOTE: Problems may occur if the Solo Linking service is running when eMix is in-
stalled. To avoid this, open the MOConfig.exe application and click Stop to
stop the service before installing newer software.

using the spare network adaptor ports.
In a three-operator system, the three System PCs are connected via a central ethernet
switch.
