Overview Purpose 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 processed by the Pilot. The Pilot then acts as the data manager for the state of the R-1 machine, responding to input with display at the R-1 Remote control and in the Graphical User Interface (GUI). In standard operating modes, NO AUDIO PASSES THROUGH THE PILOT computer.
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), as Euphonix cannot guarantee correct and reliable operation of the R-1 under such circumstances. ©1999 Euphonix, Inc.

User Reference Installing New Versions of R-1 Software Follow this procedure to ensure proper installation of R-1 software upgrades: 1) Power on the R-1 Pilot computer. 2) Insert the CD ROM or diskettes that contain the R-1 software into the CD ROM or floppy drive. 3) Find the SETUP.EXE file and double click on it. This will install the new version of R-1 software. DO NOT START THE R-1 SOFTWARE 4) Exit Windows and power down the R-1 Pilot.
Network Configuration 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, your facility’s network and systems administrator must ensure that: 1) The physical network is built properly 2) Servers and other nodes on the network are configured correctly 3) Window98 networking features on the R-1 are
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 Disk 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.
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 click 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.
Resetting 1394 Drivers: The 1394 Drivers may need to be reset if your R 1 is having difficulty operating properly after a crash where a 1394 error dialog was shown on the screen, or if the Pilot continues to crash every time you boot Windows. Follow these steps to reset 1394 communications. 1) Unplug all 1394 cables from the Pilot computer. 2) Make sure that there are no 1394 cables connecting the Studio Hub to any Audio Deck.
19) In the Device Manager you will see the “Euphonix R1 IEEE-1394 Drivers” appear. Left click on this and it will expand down and show its contents. You should now see the “Euphonix R1 Audio Deck”. After this appears, disconnect the Audio Deck 1394 cable from the Pilot. 20) Repeat this operation (steps 18-19) for each of the Audio Decks in your system. 21) Connect the Studio Hub to the Pilot computer with a 1394 cable. A Windows dialog may appear, stating, “Looking for Device”.
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 entitled R-1 Operating System Image and a floppy entitled R-1 Boot Disk – R-1 Recovery.
Pre-calculated waveform data will be lost. Typically this should be acceptable. The waveforms will be recalculated 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 save time and that waveforms are essential to a project in progress, then you may save and subsequently restore these files. Please be forewarned, waveform caching files are large – C:\EUPHONIX\SYSTEM\*.IMG ****EXCEPT DO NOT SAVE***** wboot48.
