Installation and Setup 12
Installing and Connecting Avid Control
Before proceeding, make sure your tablet is running the most recent version of the Avid Control app (previously known as
Pro Tools | Control), and that it appears in the
My Surfaces list in EuControl. See the Avid Control Guide.pdf for instructions on
installing and connecting the app onto supported iOS and Android tablets.
After you have installed the Control app and connected it to your network, place your tablet in the stand built into the Dock.
• The Dock comes with a Mini Riser pre-installed which increases the viewing angle for iPad Mini and similar tablets, and also
accommodates iPad Air. The Mini Riser can be removed if not needed.
• If using an iPad Air, use a right-angle Lightning cable (not included) to keep the cable clear of the knobs.
• If using an iPad Pro 10.5-inch, you can order the
Pro Tools | Dock 10.5” iPad Pro Adapter from the Avid Store.
• If using a larger tablet, the Control app supports portrait as well as landscape display mode.
To keep your tablet charged, connect your tablet to the USB port on the back of the Dock.

The back panel USB port is for charging and powering your tablet, only. Data communication with EuControl requires a Wi-Fi
connection, Apple Camera Connection Kit and adapters (for iOS), or Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T590 USB 3.1 Type C to RJ45
Ethernet Adapter (or equivalent, for Android). For more information, see the Avid Audio Control Guide.pdf.
