SDM16i Product Manual
Software Notes:
1. SUB Channel
- designed as an additional internal BUS to allow multiple channels to
have signal levels controlled by a single fader. With ON/OFF functionality (no fader
control), simply select SUB send (will light up in PINK) to send whatever signal would
normally be sent to the main output, to the SUB channel instead, with a Pre or Post
fader option (i.e. with Post selected, only signals with fader up are sent to SUB
channel). Then use the fader control of the SUB on the outputs page to add the SUB
signal back into the main mix.
Connectivity:
The SDM16i has an internal Wi-Fi router capable of outputting a hotspot that any Wi-FI
enabled device can connect to. It is also equipped with an Ethernet port for connecting to an
external router, then allowing any device connected to the router to access the SDM16i
control software. A switch on the mixer toggles between Ethernet and Wi-Fi (aka Hotspot)
mode.
Wi-Fi (aka Hotspot) Mode:
With the connectivity switch flicked to the left, the device enters Wi-Fi mode where a hotspot
is created for devices to connect and access the mixer control software through any web
browser. The user simply enters the IP address value 192.168.2.1 to load the mixer control
page. Note, that while connected to a Wi-Fi network, many smartphones will automatically
look to use the Wi-Fi for a source of internet meaning internet access is not possible whilst
connected to the mixers hotspot, even with mobile data turned on. Changing settings on
most phones can allow mobile network to be used for internet, while maintaining connection
to the mixer. Up to 10 users can connect at any one time.
Ethernet Mode:
With the connectivity switch flicked to the right, the device enters Ethernet mode where cat5e
or cat6 network cable is connected to an external router to enable connection through the
router's Wi-Fi network. This means any device connected to the router can access the mixer
control software through any web browser. This includes desktop computers connected via
network cable to the mixer, and any smartphones or tablets that connect via Wi-Fi to the
router. In this case, the user simply enters the IP address value 192.168.1.114 to load the
mixer control page. Up to 10 users can connect at any one time.
