iPad App for X32 RACK
Many functions of the X32 RACK console can be remotely controlled by a
dedicated iPad app.
The app’s User Interface is optimized for the touchscreen nature of the iPad
device and concentrates on the most important remote features of the console
only. Using the app, you can perform functions such as adjusting monitor mixes
from the stage while interacting with musicians, or adjusting the front-of-house
mix from the audience, while hearing the mix exactly as the audience does.
Linux/OS X applications and Windows-based
applications for X32 RACK
Also oered is a separate remote editor running onhost computers that will allow
for complete editing control of the X32 RACK via Ethernet.
Tip: The X32 RACK remote communication is OSC-based (open sound control)
and we will share the protocol on our website, allowing developers to design
their own control software. Stay tuned to behringer.com for details on the
OSC protocol.

Main Display Area
The top section of the main display permanently covers useful status
information. The top left corner shows the selected channel number,
its nickname and the selected icon. The next block shows the current scene
number and name in amber, as well as the next upcoming scene. The center
section displays the playback le name along with elapsed and remaining
time and a recorder status icon. Thenext block to the right has 4 segments
to show the status of AES50 ports A and B, the Card slot and the audio clock
synchronization source and sample rate (topright). Small green square indicators
show proper connectivity. The right most block shows the console time that can
be set under Setup/Cong.
When working with any given screen, press the Page keys located on the display
bezel to switch to dierent screen pages.
Editing parameters or settings on each of the screens is done using the 6
associated push-encoders along the bottom edge of the display.
• Whenever there is a continuous control or list entry, you can turn the
corresponding knob forediting, which is indicated by various circularicons
• When there is a switch or toggle function on one of these knobs, you will see
a broad rectangular button along the lower edge of the eld. Pressing the
encoder changes the on/o state of the corresponding function. When the
rectangular button in the display is dark grey, thecorresponding function is
o/inactive; whenit is amber, the function is on/active

main display will remain focused on the last real channel (bus or input) that was
selected before DCA, since DCAs do not feature any processing.
