D-Control Name Page
The Name page is used to view and change D-Control unit
names. These names appear in the Pro Tools Peripherals dia-

correctly. This is especially important if your system is on an
Ethernet network with multiple controllers connected to it.

or the encoder Select switch (Fader Module) that corresponds
to “Name.”
The Main Unit name appears in the Soft Keys section. The
Fader Module name appears in its encoder displays. The first
character of the name flashes to indicate text entry.
To change the unit name:
1 Turn the Scrub/Shuttle wheel (Main Unit) or any encoder
knob (Fader Module) to change the selected text.
2 To move forward and backward through the name field,
press the flashing Soft Keys (Main Unit) or encoder Select
switches (Fader Module) that correspond to the “<” and “>”
symbols.
3 When you are finished entering text, do one of the follow-
ing:
• Confirm the new name by pressing the Soft Key (Main
Unit) or the encoder Select switch (Fader Module) that
corresponds to “OK.”
• Clear the name field by pressing the Soft Key (Main Unit)
or the encoder Select switch (Fader Module) that corre-
