Using XStudio with DCS or Maestro |
|
XStudio can be used to control a host DCS or Maestro system via these products' serial remote control interface. The effect of such a configuration is that the DCS or Maestro unit becomes the XStudio audio engine, replacing the use of the standard XEngine audio engine.
XStudio uses TCP/IP to communicate with the host audio engine and both DCS and Maestro use serial data. To convert TCP/IP to serial and vice versa, dcsTools' rcServer is used. rcServer essentially converts the data both ways and once installed and set up, the process is transparent to both XStudio and the host DCS or Maestro. Visit our web site for more information on rcServer.

When you are using a DCS or Maestro as the host audio engine, playback channel 1 on the host unit will be used for log playback and channels 2 and 3 map to the DCS or Maestro channels of the same number, as applicable. Note that not all DCS and Maestro units have three discrete audio channels available. If the host unit has just two, only Decks 1 and 2 will be functional. |
For instructions on configuring the DCS or Maestro serial port for remote control, refer to the product documentation or to the rcServer documentation, which also explains how to set these systems up for remote control.
