DiGiCo has released the free iPad DiGiCo SD App, which is compatible with all consoles in the SD Range and allows users to take advantage of both Apple and DiGiCo’s touch screen technology. Via the DiGiCo SD App, your iPad becomes a remote control surface and an expansion of the control surface. This application takes the existing feature set and presents it in a new way to take advantage of the extra screen so engineers can implement very specific functions dedicated for FOH or monitors.
Aimed at installation and touring applications, the DiGiCo SD App includes a number of dedicated screens that open up the iPad surface to a selection of the consoles’ functionality. For example, there are eight macros available on the hardware buttons of an SD9, but by connecting the iPad via the DiGiCo SD App, a large number of user-defined buttons will be available; these can reside on the iPad screen, allowing for quick access, while the console remains clear to mix the show on.
“The SD App adds a new level of versatility to our SD consoles,” says DiGiCo’s David Webster. “It makes mixing a complex show or working with an extensive installation even easier than it was before.”
