NOTE The illustration shows the central panel only (the Colour Grading panel). This panel is easily identified, since it has both an Ethernet network port and a USB connector. It is also the panel with the built-in tablet.

To connect the Autodesk Control Surface:

1Connect each panel to a power supply using the AC power adapter cables.

2Use network cables to connect each panel to the available ports in the network switch.

3Additionally, connect the Colour Grading panel to the remote unit of the USB extender kit.

4Use a network cable to connect an available port on the Netgear network switch to the workstation’s on-board GigE port 1, as illustrated.
