la bam Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to physically connect our tablet to the soundcraft ui12 mixer? Usually we just use over wifi, but last night nobody could log on with tablets, phones or anything. So much so that we had no control over the mix, although luckily it loaded up a previous one which was passable. So, is there anyway to cable up a phone or tablet to the mixer for rock solid connection in an emergency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigguy2017 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) ui12 does have a wired network socket so it should be possible ... You need a wired network adapter for your tablet (iPad?) and a wee network switch If the tablet is Thunderbolt then something like this (tablet specs vary, so check)... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lighting-Ethernet-Charging-Compatible-10-iOS14/dp/B09BKSN9MZ/ref=sr_1_3?adgrpid=1183075410342010&hvadid=73942413152603&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=41944&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-73942349747781%3Aloc-188&hydadcr=4426_1824214&keywords=ipad+to+ethernet+adapter&qid=1685453060&sr=8-3 and a switch https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-SG105S-Ethernet-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B07HP5TN4S/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1AZI6QDETF8Q0&keywords=tp+link+switch&qid=1685453502&sprefix=tp+link+switch%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-3 plug up with two network cables and put both devices on the same subnet 192.168.xxx.yyy with subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (see page "10.1.3: LAN" in manual) ... As ui12 network port auto negotiates, you may not need a switch (IF tablet adapter plays nice), just one cable...
