TMC-2 Monitor Controller
TMC-2 Monitor Controller
The TMC-2 is a monitor controller designed to be used with the
TMC Reference. It is an updated version of the TMC-1, with added
features and improvements. The TMC-2 has 13 additional keys
compared to the TMC-1, but it is only slightly wider at 20mm.
One of the key enhancements of the TMC-2 is the addition of
illuminated keys. This makes it easier to locate and use the keys,
especially in a dark studio environment. The software on the TMC-2
is identical to the TMC-1 software, with the exception of
supporting the extra keys and two menu changes.
There are two menu changes in the TMC-2 compared to the
TMC-1:
- The T/B key function can now also be used as a Scene key when
talkback is not used, such as in Film Re-Mix scenarios. - The Input+Scene option has been removed from the menu, as the
keys for these functions are always fitted on the TMC-2.
Product Usage Instructions:
To use the TMC-2 Monitor Controller, follow these steps:
- Ensure that you have connected the TMC-2 to the TMC Reference
according to the provided connection details. - Turn on the TMC-2 by pressing the power button.
- Use the illuminated keys on the TMC-2 to control various

TMC-2 Monitor Controller
The TMC-1 has been available for three years now, following suggestions from some users we have added the TMC-2. The TMC-2 has 13 more keys than the TMC-1 but it is only 20mm wider.
As can be seen in the photo above we have added the following new keys
· Six input select keys in a column on the left
· A Master [Link] key or the right, used to Link the main output to all or selected cue outputs
· Three [Scene] keys on the right, These can be used to preset multiple settings but are initially programmed to select between the three speaker sets.
· A dedicated T/B switch on the Right, you can define the Talkback function in the setup menu
· Two extra User keys below the TFT screen, in the picture above they have not been assigned.
When working is a dark studio we noticed that it could be difficult to find the keys, on the TMC-2 the key LED’s are always slightly illuminated making easy to locate the keys.
The software on the TMC-2 is identical to the TMC-1 software apart from supporting the extra keys and two menu changes as detailed below
