7 Aurora Remote Control Application Reference

The Aurora Remote Control (ARC) application allows control of Aurora parameters from a
convenient software interface. It also provides accurate real-time metering for all inputs and
outputs, and displays status information such as channel mode, sync source and sample rate.
The ARC is automatically installed with the Windows driver setup program, and is a separate
install under OS X (see Section 5.2, Installing the Driver and Aurora Remote Control
Application).

7.1 Starting the Aurora Remote Control Application within Windows

Make sure that the Aurora is powered up, and that the Aurora is connected to the computer
by a USB cable. From the Start Menu, click Start > Programs > Lynx Studio Technology >
Aurora Remote Control.

7.2 Starting the Aurora Remote Control Application within OS X

Make sure that the Aurora is powered up, and that the Aurora is connected to the computer
by a USB cable. From Finder, click Applications >Aurora.

7.3 General Operation

The Aurora Remote Control Application allows the user to control output levels, route inputs
to outputs, alter various parameters, and view accurate meters for inputs and outputs on a
connected Aurora. Most parameter changes will be reflected both on the Aurora front panel
and within the software application.

Some parameters can be established identically from the software or front panel. Other
parameters have extended functionality through the software, particularly routing functions
and setting trim levels. When these functions are modified in the software, the Aurora front
panel will indicate this by illuminating all the LEDs for that function. For instance, the front
panel choices for the button labeled TO ANALOG OUT and TO DIGITAL OUT are
“ANALOG IN”, “AES IN” and “LSLOT IN”. When selecting a choice from the front panel,
the LED will be illuminated for the active selection. If custom routing is established in the
software, all three LEDs will illuminate.
