13 HD96-24-CC-TP User Manual
AES50 connections carry digital audio and control data bi-directionally down a single cable. Cat 5e cable is used for the ‘local’ connections and the dual digital ‘snake’
(equivalent to a 384-channel analogue multi-core, 192 channels per snake connection) between console and I/O. The combination of audio, control, clock and third-
party Ethernet data in a single network means that the hardware interfaces on a single RJ45 connection.
All system connections can be duplicated for full dual redundancy.
mCloud Network
The Midas mCloud network is a brand-new concept in le and system management. The HD96-24 has built in Wi-Fi capabilities which allow the surface to share its
information over a Wi-Fi connection and any other network connections to the mCloud. Be reassured the connection is completely safe with military grade encryption.
Great lengths have been taken to keep information secure.
The mCloud can be used to store your show les, preset les and all other types of data from the console. If you leave your USB stick with your vital settings at home,
you can directly log into your mCloud account and load your show le straight to the HD96-24 without breaking into a sweat.
New system updates can be downloaded directly to the surface ready for you to update when you’re ready. A list of all previous software versions will be stored on the
HD96-24 for peace of mind.
It also allows audio rental companies to keep a track of registrations, software versions, warranties and diagnostic logs. All the admin for running a busy hire company
in one place.
Each user of the HD96-24 will be prompted to set up a user prole which also in turn congures your mCloud account.
HD96-24 software
The operating system of the HD96-24 built on Linux, which is an open-source, stable, proven operating system (OS). Linux is used in many mission-critical applications
worldwide and has allowed Midas’ software engineers to write a ground-up system that contains no ‘hidden’ or unused code. This has resulted in an ecient, compact
application, which is quick in operation, quick booting and comparatively easy to debug.
Graphic User Interface (GUI)
The HD96-24 has a 21” touch screen that provides a quick and intuitive workow. Modern touch gestures such as pinch and smooth touch screen faders have been
included to speed up workow and let you concentrate on the mix. Not only does the GUI reect what is happening on the control surface, but it also provides extra
functionality via a top and side bar menu. These menus provide access to all the pages that you will require to set up, congure, manage and operate the entire control
surface.
Gone are the days of only one touch on a screen at a time. Use both hands to manipulate up to 10 faders at a time if you so wish.

Independent widget style areas are extensively used to display various dierent types of information at once, all fully customisable to suit your workow.
System Card Expansion
The HD96-24 has 2 x CM-1 slots built in for further audio expansion. Adding up to an additional 128 channels
of I/O greatly increases networked capabilities. Virtual sound checks and recording have never been easier to
set-up and achieve with exible options. Being able to support new and emerging protocols via its two
industry-standard expansion slots give the HD96-24 a greatly extended shelf life.
