Quick Setup: BLINK Hub and :wave
To get your :wave to communicate with BLINK Hub or other apps:
- First set up your :wave to connect to other Timecode Systems devices, a sound mixer/recorder, or a video camera as appropriate. You can find instructions in the following sections:
- This step only applies if you are connecting a Sound Devices 6-series sound mixer/recorder to your :wave.
Use a a TCB-40 9-pin data to USB B cable to connect your sound mixer/recorder to the :wave's DATA port.
- Download and install the BLINK Hub app on your Apple® Macintosh® computer, or your smartphone or tablet (iOS or Android).
BLINK Hub is available via our website:
http://www.timecodesystems.com/products-home/blink-hub/#download
It is also available in the ITunes app store (iOS) and in the Google Play store (Android).
- If you want to use your :wave to control an ARRI® Alexa® camera, purchase and install Pure Blend Software's MovieSlate® app on your smartphone or tablet. MovieSlate® is required to control ARRI® Alexa® cameras. If you prefer, you can also use MovieSlate to control Sound Devices 6-series sound mixer/recorders instead of BLINK Hub.
-
Switch on your :wave unit (see Switch :wave On and Off).
-
Press the control knob.
- Use the control knob to put the following settings in place:
Wi-Fi Connection Wi-Fi Settings > Turn On/Off > Turn On Network Type > SoftAp* Stealth Mode > Disabled* Channel > 01* - Run your BLINK Hub (or MovieSlate®, where appropriate) app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Use the app to connect to your :wave.
* These are the default settings for Wi-Fi. If you experience problems with Wi-Fi with these settings, you will need to change them, see Set up Wi-Fi for Data Streaming.
When BLINK Hub connects to your :wave, it automatically detects any devices that are connected to the :wave. If your :wave is the master device in the BLINK network, BLINK Hub will detect the :wave and its slaves.
You can then use BLINK Hub to monitor and control the available devices (Timecode Systems devices, video cameras, Sound Devices 6-series sound mixers/recorders).
