The 4 columns are:
• "Preset Elements". Use the Preset Elements column to select the parameters that you
wish to apply from the preset to the target network.
If the target network is not identical to the original network (from which the preset was
saved), some parameters might not be applied successfully. For example, if some
devices on the target network do not support the same range of sample rates as the
devices on the original network, you could choose not to apply the 'Device Sample Rate'
parameter, and change the sample rates manually instead, once the preset has been
applied.
Some preset parameters are not applicable to the current device and so they are
represented in light grey.
• "Preset Roles". The Preset Roles column lists the roles or variants of the device with
different functions that were saved in the preset.
You can apply a role to the same physical device from which it was created (if it exists in
the target network), or to a different device in the same network, or to another device in a
new network.
When a role is applied to the same physical device, or a device of the exact same model,
the configuration and routing should be replicated perfectly (although some subscriptions
may be 'broken', if the relevant transmitters are not also present on the target network).
NOTE: This makes presets an ideal way to backup and restore configurations for
relatively static networks.
If a role is applied to a different device model or a different type of device, the
configuration and routing may not be replicated exactly - the success of the role
assignment will vary depending on the functionality and channel support of the target
device.
Applying a role to a fundamentally different type of device may not be very successful.
For example, applying a role for a fully-subscribed 32-channel mixing console configured
at 96kHz to a 2-channel amplifier that only supports 48kHz will be problematic - only two
channels can be subscribed (assuming the transmitters are also present), and the sample
rate will be rejected.
