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

Network Configurati on
The Pilot computer Windows operating software has been made network ready by
the installation of the following:
1) Client for Microsoft Networks
2) Built-in Fast Ethernet Adapter
3) TCP/IP
Still it essential that if you are configuring your R-1 for use on a network, yo ur
facilitys network and systems administrator must ensure that:
1) The physical network is built properly
2) Servers and other nodes on the network are co nfigured correctly
3) Window98 networking features on the R-1 are configured correctly
Euphonix cannot take responsibility for the configuration of your network unless specific contractual arrangements ar e made with Euphonix for these services in advance. If you do not have the expertise on hand to manage a networked installation, then DO NOT NETWORK your R-1.
To connect your Pilot computer to an Ethernet network:
a) Power on the Pilot computer b) After boot up, right-click on the Network Neighborhood icon. c) Left-click on Properties. d) Click on the Identification tab. e) Enter a computer name that is unique on your network. Check with your
facility network administrator to answer this question. The Computer Name, which you enter, must b e an alpha-only or alphanumeric character string of no more than 15 characters. You may use hyphens, but you may not use any other symbols. You also cannot use spac es, and you cannot use exclusively nume ric names.
f) Enter the name of the workgroup or domain in which you want the
computer to communicate. Check with your facility systems administrator
to answer this question. g) Click OK. h) Power down the Pilot computer i) Connect a RJ45 network cabl e to the back of the Pilot co mputer. j) Power up the Pilot. Enter your network password when prompted by the

Monitor Fine Tune
Here is a method of fine tuning the Hitachi TFT monitor that is part of the R-1 system. This procedure will assure that you are getting the best performance that this monitor can provide.
There is a floppy diskette labeled Utility Di sk for Windows that shipped with the Hitachi monitor in the bag with the monitor manual. This diskette contains a test pattern file the monitor can use to automatically optimize its settings.
To view the test pattern on the monitor screen:
Insert the diskette in the Pilot Computer floppy drive.
Double click on the Floppy Drive ico n.
Double click on the Testpat.exe icon.
On the Hitachi monitor, press the Menu button.
Use the > button to scroll to Auto Adjust.
Press the + button. The program will take 10 seconds or so to adjust the monitor
settings. During this time, the menu will disappear.
When the menu reappe ars, the adjustment is finished. Click a nywhere or press
any key to exit the test pattern.
Close the Floppy Drive Windo w and Remove the floppy diskette.
Safe Mode
The Windows operating system has a feature c alled Safe Mode that is designed to warn users about possible Windows configuration problems. In Safe Mode, the Pilot computer uses only the minimum necessary res ources to run until the problem can be resolved. You will not have access to CD-ROM drives or printers while in Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be rec ognized by a change in sc reen resolution that will make all the objects on the screen appear larger and blurry. If Safe Mode is encountered, we recommend turning the Pilot off and back on per the Power Down and Power On instructions below. This will often resolve a Safe Mode issue. If this fails to start Windows in normal mode, contact Euphonix R-1 S upport: (425) 485-3132.
Power On Sequence
Euphonix recommends that when powerin g on the R-1 system, that the Studio Hub and the Audio Deck be powered on at roughly the same time as the Pilot computer. This will ensure that the Pilots operating system will recognize the Euphonix components attached to IEEE 1394 with minimal 1394 bus resets. There is no actual requirement for any particular boot sequence. Be sure that the video monitor has been turned on. The video monitor may display th e message No sync signal when initially powered up.

Pilot boot up takes about 40 seconds. Near the end of the boot up you will see a dialog box that asks you for a network password. If you are connected to a network, enter your password now and clic k OK. If you are not on a network, press ESC on the keyboard. The software will finish booting.
Once the Pilot has been powered on, its boot up procedure should not be interrupted. If you need to power down the Pilot, wait until the Euphonix opening screen graphic appears and follow the steps in the following Power Down procedure.
R-1 Application Boot up
After power on and boot up of all the R-1 system components, start the R-1 Application software by double-clicking on the R-1 Multitrack Recorder icon in the opening screen graphic. You will s ee a progress bar that informs you of boot up status. The R-1 software Mult itrack Screen should appear in less than 15 seconds.
The R-1 will boot up the 1394 attached components du ring this time.
Audio Deck #1, then if present #2, #3, and #4.
Studio Hub
Then you will get any messages relating to the Audio Drives currently installed in the system. If the drives are inserted into the bays where they were formatted the bott process will continue without messages.
Finally the R-1 Application will report that it is sending Title files to the host from the first Audio Drive (typically deck #1, disk #1).
Power D own Seq u e n c e
Please use the following steps to power down the Pilot computer:
1) If the R-1 Application is open, then close it by clicking on the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the screen-b ased interface. Save the Title if prompted and as desired. The R-1 Application may take a moment to close as it is cleaning up all R-1 file management. You will then be presented with the Windows desktop.
2) From the Windows desktop, guide the cursor into the lower left hand corner of the screen to the Start button. Left-click on the Start button and a menu will appear.
3) Left-click on the lowest item in the menu; Shut Down. A dialog will appear in the center of the screen.
4) Click on Shut Down. Click on OK.
5) Wait until you are presented with a screen that states, It is now safe to shut down R-1 Pilot.
6) Press the power button on the front of the Pilot.

If the R-1 Operating System must be Reinstalled
If your R-1 system is not working to the point where you think you need to reinstall the operating system, then you should call R-1 product support.
Completely rewriting the OS disk: Your R-1 documentation and software
includes a CD-ROM entitl ed R-1 Operating System Image and a floppy entitled R-1 Boot Disk – R-1 Recovery. If you boot the R-1 Pilot with the floppy and CD-ROM
loaded into their respective drives, this will automatically reload al l software in your R-1 to a known working configuration. This method completely erases all data and programs from the R-1 Pilot and rebuilds the software components cleanly to the configuration that shipped from the factory.
Under typical circumstances there s hould be nothing absolutely essential on the R-1 Pilot, so replacing all disk contents in one operation is the best solution and the most reliable. However, there are circumstances where you might n eed to save data from the R-1 first. Pleas e read and consider the following. The saving of data from the R-1 Pilot is not generally considered necessary and is not made easy by either software or data organization. You should be reasonably adept at using the Windows operating system.
Safety Copies of All Titles Saved from this machine will be lost. A Safety copy of each Title is written to the host file syst em of the R-1 Pilot whenever the Title is being saved. The master copy is written to the audio disk and will automatically be restored to the system whenever that drive is loaded. The Safety copy is only an extra back-up to the master copy. Euphonix recommends that you back up recent Safety Tiles to a floppy when you ar e backing up the audio. If you are about to erase the contents of the R-1 Pilot, you may want to get some or all of these files from the Safety Titles dir ectory.
C:\EUPHONIX\TITLES\*.*
Because Titles can be backed up regul arly, there are shortcuts for copying thes e files. The Safety Titles directory can be accessed directly from the Start Menu in Windows 98SE. Select the desired files within this window and drag the f iles to the the 3½ Floppy (A) displayed on the Desktop.
Exported Sound Files will be lost. When you export a Sound File to WAV format on the host it typically is stored in –
C:\EUPHONIX\SOUND FILES\
Because Sound Files are intended for uses sep arate from the R-1, there are shortcuts for copying these files. The Sound Files directory can be accessed directl y from the Start Menu in W indows 98SE. Launch th is window and select the desired files. You will probably want to launch the Windows Explorer found under Programs of the Start Menu, then navigate to a network drive large enough for exported audio. Typically these files are too large for a floppy diskette. If the exported sounds are short enough to be less than 1.4 MB, they can be dragged to the 3½ Floppy (A) displayed on the Desktop.
©1999 Euphonix, Inc. Page 15 Pilot Computer Manual
Pre-calculated waveform data will be lost. Typically th is should be acceptable. The waveforms will be r ec alculated as needed. In many instances this will be the quickest option in that it does not require your intervention at all. However, if you think that you will sa ve time and that waveform s are essential to a project in progress, then you may save and subs equently restore these files. Please be forewarned, waveform caching files are large –
C:\EUPHONIX\SYSTEM\*.IMG
****EXCEPT DO NOT SAVE***** wboot48.img or wboot96.img
Safety Copies of All Disk Directories written from this machine will be lost. A Safety copy of each Audio Disk Directory (also called a Table of Cont ents or TOC) is written to the host file system of the R-1 Pilot whenever the disk drive is being saved. The master copy is written to the audio d isk and will automatically be restored to the system whenever that drive is loaded. The Safety copy is only an extra back-up to the master copy. As with any safety system, there is no guarantee that the safety copy will be the most current and desirable version of the disk. Further there is no wa y for the user to direct the m ac hine to use a safety copy of a Disk Directory. Instead t he R-1 evaluates the TOC of any newly loaded di sk then determines to try to use the safety copy if there appears to be a problem. For this reason you would only be interested in backing up this information if you were having problems or suspected problems with a disk already.
C:\EUPHONIX\SYSTEM\*.FMT
Please Note: It is very seldom productive to go through the step of reloading all the software components of your R-1. Although it is a po pular approach with Windows, where there are many differing prog rams all working within the same operating environment, and where programs are loaded and unlo aded all the time, the R-1 is a closed system. There i s little actual likelihood of corruption in the operating system. In those rare instances where the R-1 fails, experience generally shows it is a cabling problem or damage to a component while in transit.
Before electing to reload all software you should consult with R-1 Technical Support or Euphonix Field Support. Our staff will gladly help you analyze the
situation and also help in evaluating it ems that should be saved before re-writing th e disk. It may also be possible that Euphonix staff will recommend simply reloading Windows 98SE. This is done by inserting a Windows 98SE CD-ROM and running (select Run from the Start Menu) D:\WIN98\SETUP.EXE. In the following section you will find all the typical set ting for Windows 98SE. If y ou use the Operating System Image as described above all of thes e settings will be established automatically. However, using either method, it may be necessary to –
Reload the most current R-1 Application software version (from its separate CD-
ROM)
Re-establish your network connection
Re-tune your monitor
