  • How do I update the Denecke TS-TCB Slate over WiFi?

    The Denecke TS-TCB Slate can be updated using WiFi, by following these steps:

    1. Ensure that the WiFi of the Slate is turned on in the menu settings (WiFi Menu > WiFi On/Off) and that it is set to Soft AP mode (WifiMenu > WiFi Net Type > WiFi: Soft-AP):

    2. Connect your device (laptop/Mac/tablet/phone) to the WiFi of the Slate. It will appear as Slate XXX on the list:

    3. Once connected to the WiFi, type the IP address of the Slate in to the address bar of your device's browser. The IP address will be 192.167.XXX.1. (the XX represents your Slate's ID) and can be found on the Slate screen just after the page SSID:SlateXXX. For example SSID: Slate025 = 192.167.25.1

  • How do I mirror Sound Device's "Scene & Take" info on the TS-TCB Denecke Slate?

    In order to mirror the Scene and Take information from a Sound Devices 6-series to the TS-TCB you will need to connect a smart phone or tablet to the Wi-Fi network of your :wave and access the BLINK Hub app (available via Google Play or on the Apple Store).

    Once on the BLINK Hub app, select the TS-TCB Slate's icon and then check the 'Pair Slate to Sound Devices Mixer’ box. See screen shot below.

    Full set up details for connecting to the BLINK Hub can be found in the :wave manual, page 10 onwards:
