– If connecting one DP to your console, connect it via a CROSSOVER Cat-5 Ethernet cable.
– If you are connecting multiple DPs, then connect the console and all DPs to a network switch using patch (non-crossover) cables.

Once your DP is connected and the show is launched, the console will check the DP’s software version. If they do not match, the console will prompt you to upgrade the DP to match the desk. Simply follow the prompts on the console and the console will upgrade the DP.

Tip: If you are using a mini wing and would like to drag the Playback bar to an external monitor, click on the 2 vertical bars at the left side of the playback bar. This will undock the bar and you can then drag it to the external monitor. Drag and drop it to the bottom of the external monitor and it will re- dock itself. playbackbar
