Overview
Purpose
Features
The R-1 Pilot Computer is the control and display center of the R-1 recording
system. The user input from the computer keyboard, pointer device (trackball or
mouse), and R-1 Remote control are all proces sed by the Pilot. The Pilot then acts as
the data manager for the state of the R-1 machine, responding to input wit h display
at the R-1 Remote cont rol and in the Graphical User Interface (GUI). In standard
operating modes, NO AUDIO PASSES THROUGH THE PILOT computer.
The R-1 Pilot is a remarkably high-powered “Wintel-based” computer system.
Because the Pilot is a computer, the operation and the behavior of the R-1 can be
updated by loading new software. The Pilot also provides the R-1 a portal to future
integration into a more computer-centric networked environment. This computer
modality allows for the use of mult imedia and database tools to help m anage the R-1
“assets.”
The R-1 Pilot is a high speed Pentium III computer in a 2 RU steel case with a
machined heavy alum inum front panel. The Pilot has fault tolerance des igned in for
maximum stability. The R-1 Pilot offers some important features to the recorder
product:
• Software control of all functions
• Responsive high-speed TFT met ering display
• Fixed Now-Line 24-Track display with individual clips per punch in/out
• Directory display of all Titles and Sounds on the system
• Bi-directional serial communication with Remote for input and display
• Visual status feedback of most function s and operational modes
• Pentium II processing for control, display, and stat e machine management
• 3D/2D accelerated graphics (1024 X 768 with 16-bit color)
• Three high speed IEEE 1394 data ports
• Network ready RJ45 connection
• Windows 98/2000 (ready) operating system
• CD-ROM for loading new software
Floppy Drive for Title file safety back up and emergency boot up

Applications
The R-1 Pilot is NOT PROVIDED AS A GENERAL COMPUTER TOOL. Do
not run third party software on the Pilot (unless specified or included by Euphonix),

Video Connector (15 Pin D sub) The video monitor (TFT) is connected h ere. This video cable
either be a long run (10 met ers) from the Remote stand or a short run from an
extender box.
USB Ports (USB) Universal serial Bus ports. A USB modem can be connected here, but is
not currently configured for any purpose.
Network Port 1 (RJ45) A Local Area Network (LAN) can be connected at this port to give the
Pilot computer access to networked resources including Internet access if your facility
is so equipped.
Network Port 2 (RJ45) A second Local Area Network (LAN) can be connected at this port to
give the Pilot computer access to a separate set of networked resources. This
attachment of a second network will require further software configuration.
Trackball & Keyboard (PS2) Connect the Y-cable marked KYBD and MO USE here.
IEEE 1394 Ports (1394) These ports are used for connection to IEEE1394 ports on the Studio
Hub and Audio Deck. 1394 carries control, status and feedback communication.
Remote (9 pin D sub) This port accepts the RS232/422 adapter and Remote cable, or
just the RS232 serial cable if an extender s ystem is supplied. When an extender is
used the RS232-to-RS422 conversion takes place at the Remote.
SCSI (68 pin D-sub female) This port connects to exter nal S CSI devices such as JAZ
drives, CD-R, or Kingston-mounted hard riv es. The port is software enabled but not
typically used. Please check with Euphonix R-1 support to configure the port for
actual use.
Power Connector (IEC) The IEC power connector accepts standard IEC power cords. A
switching power supplied is used so voltages from 110volts to 240 volts, 50 or 60
cycle, can be input.
