DC16 Owner's Manual

DC16 Slot:

The DC16 Slot pull-down menu is where you select which DC16 you want the iPad to follow.
In most cases this will either be FOH or MON, but there are two additional choices – slot 3
and slot 4. It should be noted that slot 3 and slot 4 are for more elaborate systems such as
those requiring a broadcast desk or two FOH engineers.
The DC16 slot is set up on a per iPad basis.

Position:

Next you need to tell the iPad which position it will be used. Will it be placed on the left,
center or right side of the Smart Bridge? As seen in the screen shot on the previous page,
the DC16 Slot was set at none. But simply tapping the "A" iPad automatically changes the
DC16 Slot from "None" to "FOH: DC16" (although that may be changed via the DC16 Slot
pull-down menu). Additionally, the iPad illustration illuminates green indicating that it
has been selected.
Each iPad's position is displayed prominently on Master Fader and (as seen below)
the DC16 silkscreen has three triangular arrows located in front of the Smart Bridge.
Generally speaking, these point to the three spots for each iPad.
Each of the iPad's positions are set up relatively the same, so retrace the following steps
for the other two iPad positions. The first – and really only – step here is to tap each iPad
illustration. The next step will be setting up Follow Mode for each iPad.
