If you don’t see the ‘Updates Available’ button, you either require a fresh install, or you need to update your SuperRack SoundGrid/Performer license to V14, which you can do by following the instructions in this support article (If your application license is V13 or earlier section).

ProLink SuperRack DiGiCo integration is available starting from versions:

  • SuperRack SoundGrid V14.30 (Legacy & ProLink)
  • SuperRack Performer V14.30 (ProLink only, Windows only)
  • DiGiCo console software V1742 (SD and Quantum series, Legacy & ProLink)

*  ProLink requires a network cable to be connected between the console’s network port and the SuperRack host.
*  SuperRack LiveBox is shipped with the ProLink compatible SuperRack Performer version.
*  After applying the DiGiCo software update, the console will launch with Legacy console remote mode selected.

How to set up ProLink:

  1. On your DiGiCo, go to Options > Console.
  2. Make sure Enable External Waves is set to Yes and that the console network port is selected.
