Random Notes and Other Musings
To Push or to Pull, That is the Question
—
The CURRENT show on the iPad must match the CURRENT
show on the mixer. If they do not, you will be asked to select between the two so they are synced.
Why would shows not be synced? Well, one example could be that current show (X) was used at a gig.
The band and crew then pack up for the next show, but the engineer wants to make some tweaks for
the next night’s performance. The engineer makes a few changes and stores a new snapshot offline;
this show now differs from the CURRENT show that is still on the mixer. What will happen when the
iPad is reunited with the mixer once again? The engineer will be asked which one to use: the current
show on the mixer [X, tap the DL806/1608 button] or the current show on the iPad [Y, tap the iPad
button]. In this case, the engineer would choose the iPad since it contains the latest changes
.
DL806/DL1608
– tapping the DL806/DL1608 button here is considered PULLING the current
show from the mixer and copying it to the iPad. Note that the previous current show on the
iPad is replaced, but an offline copy of the previous show will remain. It will take about two
seconds per snapshot to synchronize the shows. All connected iOS devices will automatically
sync with the current show.
iPad
– tapping the iPad button here is considered PUSHING the current show from the iPad
and copying it to the mixer. It will take about two seconds per snapshot to synchronize
the shows. All connected iOS devices will automatically sync with the current show.
Go Offline
– tapping the Go Offline button here allows you time to figure things out before
deciding which show to use.
You will also receive the Show Synchronization notification the first time you power on the DL Series
mixer if you tried out the Master Fader app prior to purchasing the mixer.
Each iPad that is offline is unique. In other words, multiple varying snapshots and shows
may be created on each iPad. This is something to be aware of when reconnecting.
64: it’s not just a number, kids
—
A maximum of 64 images may be used per show. However, If the
same image is used on multiple IDs/snapshots, it only counts as one image (if the image has been
selected from show images and not the photo library). Show images do not count toward the 64,
nor do icons.
