CONSOLE REMOTE CONTROL
You can synchronize SuperRack with many mixing consoles. This moves handling of sessions and snapshots to the
console, which lets you keep your eyes and hands on the console. You can also control one plugin at a time using
Touch and Turn. Setup is done in the Remote Control Surface Option panel:
1. Assign “Console Remote Control” to a Controller
slot in the Inventory page. Click on the Gear icon to
open the Remote Control Surface Option.
2. Select the host computer’s LAN port that connects
to the network. If the remote console is on the
SoundGrid network, then use the same LAN port as
SoundGrid. If it's on another network, select the
LAN port that's connected to that network.
Some consoles have a second LAN port. You can use this port to create an additional network for remote control.
Imagine a broadcast plant with its own network that includes several consoles that are spread throughout the building.
This network facilitates exchange of files and other data. In many situations, it’s not desirable for an audio network—
which is mission-critical and usually uses a lot of bandwidth—to be on the same network that serves the plant. Two
networks are needed: the SoundGrid network for SoundGrid traffic only, and the other network for remote control.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable between the second LAN port on the console (if available) and the SoundGrid switch.
Select this LAN port in the Remote Control Surface Option panel.
