Compatible across DiGiCo’s SD range of mixing consoles, the SD App allows use of both Apple and touchscreen technology in a remote control surface/control surface expansion.

The app takes the existing feature set and presents it in a new way to take advantage of the extra screen. This allows engineers to implement very specific functions dedicated for FOH or monitors.

Aimed at installation and touring applications, the 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.’

The DiGiCo SD App is now available through the Apple App Store.
