When SAVE TO FILE is selected, the
configuration can be given a name,
and will be saved to c:/Alpha/cust1/
monitor without loading it onto the
console.
The name of the monitor configuration
currently active on the control surface will
be shown at the top of the screen, and
the name of the monitor configuration
currently being viewed/edited on the
screen will be shown underneath.
Changes to the monitor configuration
being viewed/edited will not take effect
until
SAVE TO FILE LOAD INTO DESK
is selected. Then the changes will be
transmitted to the panels and saved to C:/
Alpha/cust1/monitor. If any changes
are made to the monitor configuration, the
SAVE TO FILE LOAD INTO DESK button
will flash (until selected) to indicate that
the changes to the monitor configuration
being viewed/edited have not yet been
saved and loaded onto the console.
OPEN FILE will allow a previously saved
monitor configuration to be chosen.
When a file is opened, the configuration
will be loaded into the front end screens
as “the monitor configuration being viewed
or edited”, it is not sent straight to the
control surface. The monitor configuration
can then be edited if desired and when it
is ready to be used, select
SAVE TO FILE
LOAD INTO DESK, and the revized file
will be saved and the settings sent to the
control surface.
OPEN ACTIVE CONFIG retrieves the
settings that the panels are currently
using and displays them on the front end
screens replacing the current monitor
configuration being viewed/edited.
SAVED MONITOR CONfIgURATIONS
Save Options to Disk and Flash
As the monitor setup screens are part of
the options set of screens, it is important to
save the options to disk and flash once the
monitor configuration is set up.
The Options screens are used to pre-set
the system to the studio’s required settings.
These settings are not stored in the
individual console memories but are saved
and loaded separately using the buttons
at the bottom of the screen. Although
the monitor configuration itself is saved
separately, its active state on the console
has to be saved using these buttons.
Changes to options take effect as soon
as they are made. However, if they are not
saved, the next time the desk boots up the
options will revert to their previous settings,
which could mean that a different monitor
configuration is loaded onto the console.
This could cause problems should the
console have to be reset during a live
broadcast. It does however allow changes
to be tried out without losing the original
settings and these original settings can
be restored without having to re-boot the
system.
