Although SC5000M PRIME can play tracks that have not been analyzed yet, pre-analyzing them allows its features
to work most effectively. You can analyze tracks in one of two ways:
•
On SC5000M PRIME, load the track
: When you load a track to play, SC5000M PRIME will automatically
analyze it (if it has not already been analyzed). This may take a moment to complete, depending on the
length of the track. You can start playing the track from the beginning
immediately
, though you will need
to wait a moment for the analysis to finish.
•
Use Engine PRIME software
: The included Engine PRIME software can pre-analyze your music library to
use with SC5000M PRIME. You can also use it to organize your library by creating crates and playlists. It
also manages your SC5000M PRIME hardware preferences (see
to learn more about this).

software.

Networking
You can network multiple SC5000M PRIME units together, enabling them to share track databases, timing and
BPM information, and other data seamlessly over this connection.
This feature provides many advantages while performing. For instance, if you are using four SC5000M PRIME
units, you can use one of them to browse through
all
tracks on
all
devices (USB drives or SD cards) connected to
any
of those SC5000M units. You can then play any of those tracks immediately without having to move a device
from one unit to the other.
To network SC5000M PRIME units together
, use the included networking cables to do one of the following:
•
If you are using only two SC5000M PRIME units, connect their two
Link
ports.
•
If you are using two or more SC5000M PRIME units, connect each of their
Link
ports to a
Link
port (
1
–
4
)
on your Denon DJ mixer.
•
If you are using two or more SC5000M PRIME units, connect each of their
Link
ports to an Ethernet port
on a router.
The
Network
(
Media Status
) light will turn on when the SC5000M PRIME unit is properly connected to a network.
