Manual

7. Basic operation with the
TC Icon software
Introduction
This section of the manual is a general introduction to operating the
Reverb TwentyFour using the TC Icon software.
In the following chapters we assume that you have successfully connected the
Reverb TwentyFour unit and your computer directly, or as part of a network as
described in “Quick Setup” on the previous page.
Several Reverb TwentyFour and other TC signal processors (e.g. Clarity-X, DB4/
DB8 MKII), and computers running the TC Icon software can be connected and
operated at the same time as part of a standard Local Area Network (LAN).
The TC Icon software is used to detect, congure and operate devices
from your computer.
If you encounter communication errors or cannot detect or operate a device
properly, please refer to “Networking basics and troubleshooting” on page 12.
The following sections of this manual assume that you are operating a basic
system with only one Reverb TwentyFour connected.
7.1 TC Icon interface
The TC Icon software interface has been optimized for use in real-time situations
in lm and post production environments (which usually are very dierent
from standard desktop computing tasks and environments). Accordingly, the
on-screen buttons are very prominent and clearly-labelled to ensure proper
operation even in stressful situations. In addition, important parameters can be
assigned to on-screen faders, allowing for precise control and immediate
visual feedback.
The interface can be customized. Customizable parameters include the position
of the faders and the user interface colors. For more information, please refer to
the chapters “UI page” on page 27” and “Color page” on page 28 of this manual.
