198 APOLLO Digital Broadcast Production Console
REMOTE PRODUCTION RP1 OPTION
From V8.0 Apollo and Artemis have
the ability to act as ‘Host Consoles’
for the RP1 remote production unit.
The RP1 remote production unit is
designed to be a self-contained compact
mixing console without a control surface.
RP1 gives you the power to manage I/O
and create zero-latency monitor mixes
at venues all over the world, all from the
comfort and familiarity of the Calrec
console at the host production facility

the Guide to remote production (926-253)
downloadable from the Calrec website.
Once the RP1 unit has been setup at the
remote site using a Web browser interface
called “Calrec Assist” it can be accessed
and controlled from the surface of an
Apollo or Artemis console at the host
studio, either as a standalone system or
as part of a Hydra2 network after it has
been added as a ‘Remote Network’ in the
host networks H2O application.
The operation and integration of the RP1
remote production unit with the Apollo
and Artemis console range is the subject
of a separate manual :-
Remote Production RP1 System Manual
(926-222) downloadable from the Calrec
website. In this manual, is a chapter called
‘Operation Via Host Console’ which shows
how to setup and operate the RP1 remote
production unit via a host console in this
case an Apollo.
Function Table for Parameter
Control of Remote Paths
Once the RP1 is connected, the Apollo
and Artemis surfaces currently allow the
user to control a range of functions for
the ‘Remote Faders’ and ‘Remote Aux
Masters’ from the host as shown in Fig 1.
The table is arranged as mono, stereo
& 5.1 remote fader types and mono &
stereo remote aux master types arranged
in columns. Each of the rows across the
table represent a different parameter that
can be controlled from the host console.
In addition to the table, all the controls
that are relevant to the RP1 remote faders
and remote aux masters are available as
wild controls.
