The Nuendo EuCon adaptor can be purchased from Euphonix to allow total integration of Nuendo on a Mac or PC with the MC Pro or System 5-MC using the high-speed Ethernet EuCon protocol. EuCon ties the MC directly to Nuendo so the two work as one. Nuendo EuCon Diagram

The MC Pro and System 5-MC can work with a single Nuendo system for a complete integrated workstation solution. However many of our clients use Nuendo with the MC Pro or System 5-MC as a complete digital audio console which can be fed from other DAWs such as Pro Tools. In the John Ross dubbing system example the four Pro Tools systems feed into the twin Nuendos which are used as the mix engine. John Ross System Diagram

The MC Pro's 56 SmartSwitches can be programmed to send out Nuendo commands and macros at the touch of a button. The MC Pro comes with hundreds of pre-programmed SmartSwitches designed by Steinberg to speed up your work. Steve Tushar SmartSwitch Video Excerpt

The jog/shuttle wheel can be switched to control much more than just jog and shuttle. Steinberg have programmed the SmartSwitches around the wheel to give jog wheel access to several clip functions such as fade in, fade out, slip and more.. Steve Tushar Jog Wheel Video Excerpt

There are 16 LCD SmartSwitches around the trackball that are programmed for Nuendo transport and other easy to access functions. Steve Tushar Transport Controls Video Excerpt

The MC's 8 knobs can be used for Nuendo plug-in control giving you fast and inuitive access to your favorite plug-ins. Steve Tushar MC Knob Video Excerpt

The 4 touch moving faders above the trackball on the MC Pro can be used to control Nuendo track levels, assigned to the tracks you need to access most when recording and editing. Use the touch screen to map tracks to faders and save assignments as Layouts. Steve Tushar MC Pro Faders Video Excerpt

The 408 module's channel strip tightly integrates with Nuendo for complete channel strip control of each Nuendo track. With moving faders, 8 knobs and a high resolution touch screen the System 5-MC channel strip is the most comprehensive DAW control strip on the market. John Ross Channel Strip Video Excerpt

A pair of joysticks are usually supplied with a System 5-MC instead of the 4 faders on the MC Pro. These can be used for automation of surround panning on any Nuendo track. John Ross Joystick Video Excerpt

The MC Pro's touch screen is used for setup operations including mapping keyboard shortcuts to SmartSwitches and tracks to faders. Nuendo tracks can also be soloed, muted and track armed. Setups can be saved to the internal disk and off-loaded to a USB drive connected to the back of the MC Pro. MC Pro Nuendo Track Screen

The MC Pro includes a control room and twin secondary monitor section for surround sound monitoring using an external I/O solution such as Apogee Electronics Ensemble or Symphony, or the RME Fireface 400 or 800. The Studio Monitor Express software matrix offers 5.1 CR monitor, two alternate CR monitors (5.1 and stereo) plus two stereo SLS/headphone outputs as well as talkback from the MC Pro's built-in mic.

Adding Fader modules and a frame to the MC Pro turns it into a System 5-MC controller for serious Nuendo mixing applications. With multiple nunedo DAWs the System 5-Mc can control thousands of tracks!
