Ira Seigel Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm hoping to use a wired or wireless keyboard with these Sound Devices recorders to help with track labeling and other functions that are slower to do with the OSD. Has anyone had success with a mini or foldable USB keyboard, or a Bluetooth keyboard using a dongle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELICULA Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Is there anyone using it with a USB keyboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Farrell Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Most any generic USB wired keyboard should work just fine. I don't think bluetooth would work because there's no OS to manage the dongle. But an infrared wireless keyboard that comes with the dongle should work.

Doc Justice Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I use the Rii Bluetooth Mini keyboard with its included USB dongle. It works not only with the 970/270 rackmount recorders, but also the 6 series (and I assume 8 series) SD mixer/recorders. It's great for entering metadata, and it can also utilize the keyboard shortcuts. It's definitely great. But the truth is, if your 970 is connected to a computer via Dante, another external keyboard isn't necessary. You can use Dante Controller to edit track names, and other metadata via PIXNET. It's a very versatile machine, so you have plenty of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Seigel Posted January 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Thanks Patrick and Doc. I appreciate your insights and suggestions. Wired certainly seems the most practical and foolproof. And I hadn't considered PIXNET. I'll check out that option. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
