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, you can obtain an RS232 to Ethernet converter (also called RS232 to TCP/IP converter).

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.
