Introduction
Welcome to the Avid Dock studio controller and tablet dock from Avid
®
. The Dock uses Avid’s high-speed EUCON
TM
(Extended User Control) control protocol to enable fully integrated control of Pro Tools
®
and other EUCON-compatible audio and
video applications via an Ethernet connection.
The Dock is designed to be used with the Avid Control app for iOS and Android tablets. The Dock/Control combination can also
be used simultaneously with up to four S1s, or with one S3, and/or supported Avid Artist media controllers.
This guide shows how to install the Dock and EuControl software, and provides an overview of the Dock control surface.
After installing the Dock and EuControl software, see the Using EuControl Surfaces.pdf for instructions on how to use the Dock
and other Avid media controllers to record, edit, and mix in Pro Tools. Thanks to the EUCON protocol, most steps for Pro Tools
are also applicable in other EUCON-aware applications from our development partners, including Logic Pro X, Cubase, Nuendo,
Pyramix and more (see the EUCON Application Setup.pdf to learn how to set up EuControl communication with these applica-
tions).
EuControl Software
EuControl lets your workstation computer find, link, and communicate with the Dock and Control app via the
EUCON protocol. EuControl also lets you set preferences and customize the controls on your Dock, S1, S3, or Art-
ist series media controller. EuControl software must be installed on the workstation computer before you can use
the Dock with your application. You can also control applications on a secondary workstation computer by install-
ing the separate EUCON Workstation software.
