The BoxCast RemoteMix app is a powerful tool that allows you to connect your digital audio mixer to the BoxCast RemoteMix dashboard. Just like a computer which has the app installed, the BoxCast Spark encoder already contains the BoxCast RemoteMix app. Here is how to set it up.

1. Ensure your Spark is powered on and connected to the internet. While the Spark can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi, the use of an Ethernet connection is recommended for the best results.

2. Confirm both your mixer and Spark are connected to the same subnetwork. Refer to your mixer's manual if needing to know how to check this or configure.

3. Physically connect your video and audio sources to the Spark. BoxCast doesn't sell Spark to accounts that aren't on a paid streaming plan, so if you have a Spark and you've begun streaming with BoxCast, you're already physically routing your audio and video to the Spark. This will enable you to preview both audio and video from the device you use for mixing remotely.

4. Log in to your BoxCast Streaming dashboard, click the bento box in the top-left corner, and then select BoxCast RemoteMix to go to your BoxCast RemoteMix dashboard.

5. In your BoxCast RemoteMix dashboard, Create Connection. Select your Spark, Mixer Brand, and finally your mixer Model before clicking Search Network.

6. BoxCast RemoteMix will search your network to connect the two devices. Once it finds your network, select it and click Connect.

If your mixer's IP doesn't appear right away, you can manually connect via your mixer’s IP address.

7. The BoxCast RemoteMix app will search your network to connect the two devices. Once it finds your network, select it and click Connect.

8. Name your connection and choose whether you'd like to create a PIN for added security. Choose a sensible name as this connection will be saved and will be visible to other users with access to your BoxCast RemoteMix dashboard, particularly if you plan to set up multiple connections.
