2.9TT Control Software

The TT control software expands the control possibilities for the TT24 console by providing:

•Remote control of all TT24 functions from a PC connected via USB.

•Improved metering and graphics than can be seen on the Touchscreen.

•Remote Show/Venue/Preset management and console–>console backup/restore.

•Console firmware upgrade capability.

The TT24 connects to the PC via a USB cable (six-ft cable supplied). The min- imum PC requirements are summarized below.

Screen Resolution	Processor Speed	Operating System

The main screens of the TT control software mirror and elaborate the Touch- screens. The TT control screens can be set to operate independently or to track the Touchscreen. When they are independent, two users may control the TT24, one from the console and one from the computer. To adjust this setting from the Touchscreen (can also be adjusted from TT control): press the QuickMix SETUP button, touch the GENERAL button from the MENU SELECTION screen, then touch to select PC AUTO FOLLOW to synchronize the TT control software with the Touchscreen (de-select the checkbox to make them independent).
