Tangent CP200 BK Setup
The color correction tools in SpeedGrade OnSet can be controlled via the Tangent CP200 BK control panel. This document describes how to connect the panel and explains which settings in SpeedGrade OnSet need to be changed for this setup.
You will need the following:
- Tangent CP200 BK panel with Firmware 4.4 or higher
- Tangent Power Adapter
- Ethernet cable to connect the Tangent to your laptop or workstation
- Current version of SpeedGrade OnSet which includes “Tangent” as menu item in the settings window (press < S > to check the setting dialog if you are unsure)
Connecting the CP200 BK to your laptop or workstation
Before you can use the Tangent CP200 BK with SpeedGrade OnSet make sure the Tangent is turned on and shows Panel type, Firmware and ID in its Display. Connect the Tangent with an Ethernet cable to your laptop or workstation. If you are running a workstation that uses several Ethernet ports, we recommend using a dedicated Ethernet port and not connecting the Tangent via a HUB.
For general connectivity requirements and further installation help please refer to the CP200 BK manual.
Setting a fixed IP address for your network adapter (Windows)
Under Windows open the network connections (click Start > open the “Control Panel” > open “Network connections”). If there are multiple network connections check for Local Area Connection (if there are several Local area connections check which one becomes active when the Tangent is connected).
- Double click on the correct Local Area Connection.
- Click on “Properties.”
- In the new window s check for TCPIP, double click to open.
- Use a static IP address and subnet mask. You can leave all the other fields blank.
If this connection is set to use Windows Firewall, turn it off for this connection (check in Local Area Connection Properties under Advanced). If you use additional Firewall Software please make sure to set exceptions for this connection.
Setting a fixed IP address for your network adapter (OS X)
Open the network settings (Click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of your screen > "System Preferences" > In the Internet & Network section click the "Network" icon) If there are multible network connections check the active Ethernet connection. If there are several Ethernet connections check which one becomes active when connecting the Tangents. Now click "Advanced.." and check for TCP/IP. Click the Configure IPv4 drop down box and select the Manually option. Make the changes shown in the illustration below:
Changing the Tangent Settings within SpeedGrade OnSet
Launch SpeedGrade OnSet, open the settings dialog (click on the Settings button or < S >).
Choose Tangent from the list to the left, then apply the following changes:
- Enter a Start IP Address. This needs to be in the same address range as the IP address used for your local area connection. If you use 192.168.0.50 for your computer enter 192.168.0.100 in this field.
- Enter a Subnet Mask. This has to be the same as the one used with your Local Area Connection.
- Enter the Panel ID. You’ll find the ID of your CP200 BK in the display of your panel in the first line to the right. It consists of 3 digits.
- Close the Settings Dialog and restart SpeedGrade OnSet. If you open the settings dialog after restarting you’ll see the status of the connection in the area underneath the Panel ID. It should now show Connected and the assigned IP address in brackets. Your CP200 BK should show SpeedGrade specific information in its display.
Troubleshooting
If the status of the panel is not connected, please go through the troubleshooting steps in your Tangent manual. You should also:
- Ensure that no firewall is used on this connection
- Check that your Ethernet cable is properly connected
- Double check your IP address and subnet mask entries.
