DC16 Owner’s Manual

The fourth pull-down menu – Overview Selects Current – has two options: On [default]

or O. What this means is that when an iPad is displaying Overview, you can select whether

or not any iPads following the current channel go to the selected input(s) or output(s)

when touched on the Overview screen. This allows you to view all inputs and outputs

(on the Overview screen), then quickly go to the channel(s) needing a quick EQ and/or

dynamic adjustment.

If an iPad is set to Fixed View, the Overview Selects Current is automatically set to ‘ON’.

This way, the Overview remains readily available on that iPad, but the other iPad(s) will

go to the selected input(s) or output(s)

Please recall that each iPad is set up separately. For example, since the Overview Selects

Current default is set to ON, it needs to be changed on each iPad that you want it set to OFF.

This is true of all advanced options...and the options are nearly unlimited...and I’m not about

to do the math to gure out how many variations are possible. There’s a lot, though, you can

count on that!

As a reminder, these advanced parameters will really only be necessary

for advanced users needing to tailor the channel, view and mix Follow Modes

for specic applications. The non-advanced Follow Modes should be totally

ne for most users.

Surface To Wireless Mixing:

The Smart Bridge is called such because...well, because it really is a Smart Bridge! The title

of this section is “Surface To Wireless Mixing” and this has everything to do with the Smart

Bridge and Follow Mode.

Follow Mode is automatically enabled on iPads that are in position on the Smart Bridge.

As stated earlier, the logo illuminates green, too. This is the “surface”. When an iPad is removed

from the Smart Bridge, though, it is no longer in Follow Mode and the logo is no longer

illuminated, either. And this is considered “wireless”.

In other words, it senses whether each iPad is in the bridge customizing the iPad’s operation

for docked or wireless operation. For example, if you need to step onto the stage and ring

out a wedge, simply remove an iPad, head up to the stage, adjust the EQ settings referencing

the built-in RTA and head back to the mixer when done. When the iPad is placed back in

the Smart Bridge, it returns to its last known Follow state automatically and starts following

again. This feature dramatically improves workow and speed any time an adjustment away

from the mixer needs to be addressed.

Having said that, this is simply the default setting. Follow Mode is automatically
