manual abstract
Apple iPad (1st generation iPad, iPad 2, or 3rd generation iPad) . Yamaha M7CL digital mixing console with V3.5 firmware or higher (any model, including M7CL-48, M7CL-32, M7CL-48ES). . Wi-Fi access point (preferably with 802.11n, 5GHz capability, though 2.4GHz and 802.11g will also work) . CAT5 cable (to connect the console to a Wi-Fi access point) 2.0 Wi-Fi Settings Configure the Wi-Fi access point, following the manufacturer’s instructions. No special settings are needed, but using security such as WPA is highly recommended, to prevent unwanted devices from joining the network. Here are some suggested settings to assist less experienced Wi-Fi users: 1. Give the wireless network a name (this is the “SSID”). 2. Choose a security mode (such as WPA) and password. 3. Select the wireless mode (802.11g or n). 4. In the case of “n”, select the wireless band (2.4 or 5GHz). 5. If available, enable “Auto Channel Selection” so the wireless channel with the least interference will be selected. 802.11n networks at 5GHz are preferred because they allow faster communication between the iPad and the Wi-Fi access point. Practically, this could result in more accurate level metering with the StageMix app. Also, with 802.11n being a newer standard, it is less prone to interference from other wireless networks. Using a Wi-Fi access point with 2 or more external aerials is recommended to increase potential signal range. Booster aerials could be connected for a further increase in performance. 3.0 Getting Started 3.1 M7CL Network Setup I. Connect the Wi-Fi access point to the M7CL console’s network port via a CAT5 cable. Note that a cross-over cable will be needed with older access points that don’t have the “auto MDIX” function. Most recent devices will support “auto MDIX”, in which case a straight CAT5 cable can be used. II. Note the IP address and MAC address of the M7CL console - they will need to be entered into the iPad later. They can be found in the console as follows: a. Press the [SETUP] button on the M7CL touchscreen b. Press [NETWORK] on the M7CL touchscreen 3.2 iPad Wi-Fi Settings The iPad needs to be given a static IP address in the same range as the M7CL’s IP Address. a. Open the iPad “Settings” menu b. Select “Wi-Fi”, and choose the correct network iPad WiFi Settings screen c. Press the blue circle with the white arrow to the right of the selected network to edit the IP address. d. Select [Static]. e. IP Address: enter an IP Address similar to the one for the M7CL console, but with just the last number different. (For example, if the M7CL is 192.168.0.128, give an address to the iPad such as 192.168.0.127). f. Subnet Mask: enter “255.255.255.0” g. Router: enter the IP Address of your Wi-Fi Access Point (usually printed on the bottom of the device) h. Press the iPad’s Home button to exit the Settings menu. 3.3 StageMix Setup Launch the “M7CL StageMix” App The “Select Mixer” screen will appear. From this screen, you can do any of the following things: . Access the OFFLINE DEMO mode to explore the features and user interface of M7CL StageMix. . Configure StageMix to work with an M7CL console. . Select an M7CL console that has already been configured to work with your iPad and begin using StageMix. 3.3.1 OFFLINE DEMO If [OFFLINE DEMO] is pressed in the “Select Mixer” screen, the functions of StageMix will operate independently of any mixing console. It is a useful way to demonstrate and learn how to use the app without the need for a mixer. Level meters and most Scene Memory functions do not work in this mode. 3.3.2 Configure StageMix to Work with an M7CL Console i. Press [ADD MIXER] to open the following screen: ii. Tap on the blank Name field and enter a name for your M7CL console using the iPad’s onscreen keyboard. iii. Enter the M7CL console’s IP address noted in 3.1. The default IP Address may not need to be changed but confirm this in the Network Setup screen of the M7CL console (refer to 3.1). If you need to modify the IP Address in StageMix, make sure you include the dots between the sets of numbers (as shown above). iv. Enter the M7CL console’s MAC address noted in 3.1. When entering the MAC Address, the colons between sets of characters will be automatically added by StageMix. v. Select the Model of M7CL console. vi. Press the [ADD MIXER] button at the bottom of the screen. 3.3.3 Select a Mixer and Begin Working If your iPad has been configured to work with an M7CL console, select the mixer from the list and press [CONNECT]. (The model of mixer (M7CL-48 or M7CL-32) will appear in smaller text below the mixer’s name.) The message “Syncing With M7CL…” will appear while StageMix is obtaining parameters from the console. After this process is complete, the Mixer window will appear and StageMix is ready to be used. If StageMix cannot connect with your M7CL console, refer to the Troubleshooting section (9.0) at the end of this document for possible solutions. 3.3.4 Edit Mixer Configurations The parameters of a s...
