Problem

The Transport module and the Master module's Soft Keys of your Avid S6 controller are not working with Pyramix, while the other modules (faders,...) are behaving properly.


Solution

The S6 Transport module and Master module Soft Keys are not compatible with the latest Bonjour service (mdns) installed along Merging products (required for RAVENNA).

  • Go in Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features and uninstall Bonjour (version 3.0.x)
  • Launch the Eucon installer and re-install your Eucon components
  • Reboot your computer.


Bonjour v3.0.x is required for RAVENNA/AES67 Network, and reverting to Bonjour v2 will introduce some issues if any element on the networks connected to the computer changes (including non RAVENNA-AES67 networks ; eg. Wifi - internet connection is lost on a laptop)

  • Pyramix 25th / Ovation 9 / Horus-Hapi firmware 3.9.9 / Anubis 1.1.8 (and above) : MT Discovery and ANEMAN may not detect the local MassCore or ASIO if any element in the networks connected to the computer changes. 
    Audio streams are not affected.
  • Previous Pyramix / Ovation / Horus-Hapi / Anubis : MT Discovery and ANEMAN may not detect the local MassCore or ASIO if any element in the networks connected to the computer changes. 
    Audio streams will drop after such change.
