About Pilot

The Pilot control surface from Logitek Electronic Systems brings you the flexibility of a router based
audio console system with the look, feel and easy handling that novice operators will understand,
and experienced console operators will appreciate.

The Pilot offers full access to the sources available on Logitek’s JetStream routers, along with simple
bus selection and intuitive monitor controls. The Pilot is compatible with the Logitek Audio Engine
provided that the engine has an AE-C6 card with version 3.77 or higher.

The Pilot surface can be configured with 6, 12, 18 or 24 Faders. There is also a Monitor Module
containing the Monitoring and Selection functions. The module types include:

 PLT-FADER 6 Fader Module
 PLT-MON Monitor Control Module

In addition, a Meter Bridge (PLT-MTR) is available.

The main frame is available in a number of different sizes to accommodate the variety of fader
numbers. The frame is designed to be mounted on a desk for semi-permanent installation, but as no
cutouts are required it can easily be relocated.

Figure 1 - Logitek System Architecture (v4.x)

Pilot is designed to connect to a Logitek JetStream running DSP version 4.x. Contact Logitek
Electronic Systems or your reseller if you are unsure of compatibility, or are adding a Pilot surface
to a pre-existing Logitek facility.

System Architecture

Put simply, the Pilot surface is just a remote control panel for the JetStream. Unlike traditional
analog consoles, no audio passes through the Pilot or its faders (with the exception of the cue
speaker audio). The Pilot talks to the JetStream using the Logitek Command Protocol, with all audio
processing occurring inside the router.

The mixing, routing and processing of audio is not dependent upon the embedded PC included
with the JetNet Audio Networking Module. However, additional functionality, such as macro
buttons, scene snapshots, intercoms, delay control and software tools interface to the system using
the JetStream Server application that is bundled with the module.

3 Physical Installation

10

The Pilot surface is designed to be mounted on a desk in a semi-permanent studio installation. The
Meter Bridge, if optioned, can be screwed to the back of the Pilot.

Power Supply Unit

The Power Supply Unit is an external brick-style supply.

Power inlet is via a single IEC connector on the rear of the Power Supply Unit. A power cable is
supplied only for US installations. International customers may contact their reseller for the supply
of power cables if required.

As the power supplies are of switch-mode type, there is no voltage selection required.

Pilot Frames

A number of Pilot frame sizes are available, depending on the total number of faders. Each module
takes up either one or two “slots” in the frame. The Monitor module occupies half the slot space of
a Fader module.

The frame will be shipped with the modules connected and fitted as ordered. These modules are
not intended to be moved, however Fader modules are interchangeable. The internal COM port
connections determine the device addressing for each modules.

LED Meter (PLT-MTR)

Figure 1: Pass the ribbon cable through the frame

Figure 2: Gently snap the latch onto the cable.

A hardware LED Meter is available as an option. The Meter includes two high-resolution meters –
one for Program bus and one switched (follows Monitor selection).

TIP: If the Pilot is powered on without being connected to the JetStream, all meter LEDs

will illuminate. This is normal operation; the LEDs will turn off after being
connected to the JetStream and the console begins to receive meter data.

Mounting

 The Meter option is supplied separately and attaches to the back of the Pilot frame with two

screws (included).

 The ribbon cable from the Meter attaches to an internal header via a small ribbon cable. The

blue side of the ribbon cable should be up. Pass the ribbon cable through the frame and
push the ribbon into the connector until it comes to a stop and gently close the brown latch
on top of the ribbon cable. Take care to not use much force on this connector as it is very
fragile.

 The Meter is not designed to be attached in another location.

Dimensions

 8.2” W x 2” H x 0.5” D (208.28 mm x 50.8 mm x 12.7 mm)
 The standard mounting adds 2.07” (52.5mm) to the height

Connections

The Pilot frame contains the control and GPI circuitry for the console. It connects to the Logitek
JetStream Router via a serial link. Headphone audio pass-through connectors are also provided for

convenience.

Figure 4 - Pilot Connection Diagram

PSU

The Pilot is powered by an external 12VDC 40W power supply, included with the console.
Connect the supply to mains using an IEC style inlet lead and the 12VDC to the rear of the Pilot.
The included supply can be replaced by any similar unit.

Logitek Pilot Reference Manual 13

Earth Lug

14

An earth lug is provided at the back of the frame for connection to station ground. The console also
is grounded through the power cord.

Frame to JetStream

The Pilot Frame connects to the Logitek JetStream Router using a balanced serial link. Connection
from the Pilot to a JetStream Router JSM-DSP card is via a straight-through RJ45 cable (CAT5 or
better is recommended).

You can use a dedicated CAT5 patch cable or existing structured cabling. If using structured cabling
systems, care should be exercised to ensure the serial connections are not confused with other
network outlets and that the link is not unintentionally “un-patched”.

Headphones

The Pilot frame has a rear connection for Headphones input, which is internally wired to ¼”
(6.35mm) and 1/8” (3.5mm) headphone sockets at the front. This provides for convenient
headphone connection without the need to mount an in-desk or under-desk socket.

Connection from the Pilot to JetStream Router is via a straight-through patch cable to a JetStream
JSM-AOUT analog output card, which is suitable for driving headphones directly.

If you would prefer to provide a different audio connection, wiring is to the StudioHUB+ standard.

 See Appendix C for connector pinouts.

GPIs

The Pilot Surface has 6 GPI inputs and 9 GPI outputs for control of local studio devices.

GPI outputs are driven by optically-isolated, non-polarized, solid state switches, rated at 500ma to a
maximum voltage of 24V AC/DC, with surge to 2A. These solid state devices do not conduct at low
voltage, so cannot switch an audio input. However, they are suitable for most control signals, and
avoid problems with relay contacts being damaged by surges. Caution should be exercised to avoid
overloading the switches. If driving a high current device, we recommend using an external relay.

The GPI inputs are a current source to +3.3VDC that is pulled to ground to activate. This makes it
suitable for control by push-button, relay or open collector. A diode protects against static and over
voltage up to 18V. See the wiring diagram for polarity information if using non-standard activation
methods. A common ground is provided for input connection.

Logitek Pilot Reference Manual

GPI connections are on a single DB25 connector on the rear of the Pilot frame. As wiring schemes
vary from station to station, these cables are not supplied with the surface, but are available from
Logitek Electronic Systems. They can also be purchased from local suppliers in the required form.

 See Appendix C for connector pinouts.

Internal Module Connections

Inside the frame, four RJ45 port connectors are provided for connecting to each Fader module.
These are provided as a straight-through flat cable, however any RJ45 patch will suffice.

The Monitor module connects to the internal PCB via the included flat rainbow ribbon cable. The
connectors are keyed to ensure you cannot reverse the cable.

The Meter has a short flat cable that connects directly to the Pilot frame motherboard. This is
plugged into the connector labeled JP4. The cable length is suitable to mount the Meter behind the
Pilot frame. The Meter cannot be located elsewhere due to its cable requirement.

4 Configuration

16

This chapter covers basic configuration information, relating specifically to the Pilot surface.
JetStream setup and configuration is covered in detail in the following manuals:

 Logitek JetStream Reference Manual
 Logitek AEConfig Reference Manual

JetStream Configuration

Configuration of the JetStream Router is done in AEConfig.

Currently, AEConfig does not include specific DSP table entries for the Pilot. You should use a
Mosaic surface of the appropriate size when configuring a Pilot. In the future, specific Pilot support
will be added to AEConfig, however, the two consoles are compatible in DSP allocations.

 See the JetStream Reference Manual for information on configuring JetStreams.

CommandBuilder Triggers

The Pilot surface contains many programmable buttons and features. These features are scripted in
“triggers” in CommandBuilder, and executed by JetStream Server, which is included with the
JetNet Audio Networking Module.

 See the CommandBuilder User’s Manual for information on writing Triggers.

The CommandBuilder manual includes details and examples of Pilot specific features, such as
Monitor Hotkeys, Bridge Buttons and more. The programming of these features does require a
certain level of familiarity with the system. If you need assistance, please contact Logitek Electronic
Systems or your reseller.

Logitek Pilot Reference Manual

Device & Bus Addressing

Each device (such as a fader input or button panel) requires its own Device Number. Within that
device, each button, lamp and feature has a Bus Number. Together, the Device and Bus Numbers
allow the JetStream and Surface to communicate.

When configuring the Pilot’s programmable buttons in CommandBuilder, you will require the
Device Number and Bus Number for each button or lamp. The information below will help you
determine the addressing scheme in use on your Pilot.

Modules

Module How Addressing is determined Max Modules Supported

PLT-MON Uses the standard Monitor, Headphones, Guest/Studio & Cue Gain addressing 1
PLT-FADER Device Set determined by COM port allocation (pre-defined) 4 modules (24 faders)
PLT-METER Uses standard PGM Meter addressing 1

Device Numbers

In Pilot v1.x the Device Number of a module is determined by its firmware and position.

Dual Controls / Split Consoles

The Pilot does not support Dual Controls or Split Consoles. It is designed as a single self-contained
console.

Softkey Addressing

The twelve softkeys on the monitor module follow the Numix Bridge Button addressing scheme,
therefore the Bridge Button and Bridge Lamp keywords in Command Builder may be used.

The softkey buttons for a console connected to JetStream port 1 are on device 28 and the lamps are
on device 27. For port 2, use device 50 for buttons and 4F for lamps. For port 3, use device 64 for
buttons and 63 for lamps. Bus numbers are 32-43.

For example, button #1 on a console connected to JetStream port 1 is device 28 bus 32 and
its corresponding lamp is device 27 bus 32. Alternatively, it is valid to address button #1 on
port 1 as surf 1 bridgebutton 1 and its corresponding lamp as surf 1 bridgelamp 1.
Command Builder will translate those keywords into the appropriate device and bus numbers.

Figure 6: Pilot softkey buttons

The softkeys may be labeled by replacing the paper legend under the Lexan overlay. Beginning in
April 2012, the cutout and paper legend has been removed. Space has been left on the module to
affix labels.

Logitek Pilot Reference Manual

Monitor Hotkey Addressing

There are four monitor hotkeys that may be addressed in Command Builder to route sources to the
control room monitors, headphones, and studio monitors.

Two of these hotkeys are labeled on the console: P (Program) and 1 (Aux 1). The other two may be
labeled by replacing the paper legend under the Lexan overlay.

Logitek Pilot Reference Manual 19

The device numbers are as follows:

Figure 7: Monitor Hotkey Bus Numbers

20

Port Number Monitor Headphones Studio

1 Device 24 Device 25 Device 23

2 Device 4C Device 4D Device 4B

3 Device 62 Device 65 Device 61

Alternatively, d[device] notation in Command Builder, such as d[Port1 Monitor In] is
valid and will be properly translated by Command Builder.

Logitek Pilot Reference Manual

Switched Meter Addressing (PLT-MTR only)

The Switched meter defaults to displaying whatever source is routed to Monitor In. When bus 0 is
turned on for the Monitor Meter in device, the meter will switch to whatever source is routed to the
Monitor Meter In.

Monitor Meter In Device Numbers:

Port (Surface) Number Device Number

1 2c

2 54

3 6a

In Command Builder, sources should be routed to d[Port1 Monitor Meter In] (or
appropriate port number) using the Alt+D pick list. Command Builder will translate this into the
appropriate hex device number.

PLT-Meter On Air and Mic Live Tally Lamps

Two tally LEDs are provided on the PLT-METER. The Mic Live tally may be used to tell the operator
that the mic is on. The On Air tally may be used to tell the operator that the console has been
switched to air. The bus number of the Mic Live LED is 17 and the On Air LED is 18. The device
numbers are in the chart below.

Device Numbers for Mic Live and On Air Tally Lamps

Port (Surface) Number Device Number

1 28

2 4F

3 63

Because these LEDs are on the same device number as console GPI outputs, an easy way to
program the Mic Live lamp is to enter 117 into the Mute Tally box for each Mic on port 1. For port
2 consoles, use 217. For port 3 consoles, use 317.

Logitek Pilot Reference Manual 21

5 Operation

22

Your Logitek Pilot console has been designed for easy and quick access to the functions you most
need. If you’ve had experience with broadcast consoles before, you’ll soon be at home, finding
your way around quite easily.

Logitek Electronic Systems has been manufacturing broadcast consoles for decades, so we
understand how to make control surfaces that are both powerful and straightforward. During the
design of the Pilot, customers and operators provided feedback that helped shape the final product.
So we’re confident you’ll find the Pilot a joy to use on-air.

Following is a look at each of the Pilot modules, and how the standard functions are used.

Logitek Pilot Reference Manual

Two Year Limited Warranty

Logitek Electronic Systems, Inc. warrants its professional equipment (excluding Logitek Software,
which is covered by a separate warranty) against defects in materials and workmanship for two years pursuant
to the following terms and conditions. The warranty extends to the original purchaser only.

LOGITEK will repair or replace, at its option, at its factory without charge professional equipment if a
defect in materials or workmanship develops during the first two years following purchase, when the equipment is returned to the
factory or LOGITEK authorized service centers freight prepaid with a description of the nature of the failure. No reimbursements can
be made for repair charges that are not factory authorized. After repair or replacement, LOGITEK will return the equipment to the
purchaser freight prepaid.

In the event that any part of this professional equipment becomes defective during the first two years
following purchase, and purchaser wishes to attempt repair, purchaser may obtain a replacement part by
notifying LOGITEK of the part of the equipment which has failed. LOGITEK will thereafter ship a replacement
part, freight prepaid. LOGITEK may require the purchaser to return the defective part to LOGITEK freight
prepaid as a condition of such replacement, either before or after LOGITEK ships the replacement part.
LOGITEK shall not be responsible for any other charges or liabilities associated with purchaser-made repairs.

No part or equipment shall be considered defective if it fails to operate due to exposure to extreme
temperatures or excessive moisture in the atmosphere.

Light bulbs, batteries, potentiometers or other equipment not manufactured by Seller shall carry only
the warranty, if any, of the original equipment manufacturer in effect at the time of shipment of this order; and
Seller’s obligation under this warranty shall be limited to such adjustment as Seller may obtain from the original
manufacturer.

This limited warranty is void if equipment is modified or repaired without authorization; subjected to
misuse, abuse, accident, water damage or other neglect; or has had its serial number defaced or removed.
No obligation is assumed by LOGITEK to update previously manufactured equipment. Specifications
are subject to change without notice. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, LOGITEK MAKES NO WARRANTY,

REPRESENTATION, PROMISE, OR GUARANTEE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT
TO THE EQUIPMENT, USER DOCUMENTATION OR RELATED TECHNICAL SUPPORT, INCLUDING THEIR QUALITY,
PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL LOGITEK BE LIABLE
FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, TORT, ECONOMIC, COVER, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE LOGITEK PRODUCTS, EQUIPMENT, OR SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
DAMAGES OR COSTS RELATING TO THE LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA OR COMPUTER PROGRAMS,
EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO CASE SHALL LOGITEK ‘S LIABILITY FOR MONEY
DAMAGES EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE LOGITEK EQUIPMENT OUT OF WHICH SUCH CLAIM AROSE. THE
FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS RELATING TO DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY WHICH ARISE OUT
OF PRODUCTS DEEMED TO BE CONSUMER GOODS UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or
consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you.

The warranty and remedies set forth herein are exclusive and in lieu of all others, oral or written,express or implied. No Logitek
dealer, distributor, agent, or employee is authorized to make any modification or
addition to this warranty.
