CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 77
The configuration currently active on
the control surface will be shown at the
top of the Setup and Layout screens,
and the configuration currently being
viewed/edited on the screens will be
shown underneath.
Save to File, Load into Desk
Changes to the 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 console and saved
to C:/Alpha/cust1/meter. If any
changes are made to the configuration,
the
SAVE TO FILE LOAD INTO
DESK button will flash (until selected)
to indicate that the changes to the
configuration being viewed/edited have
not yet been saved and loaded onto the
console.
Open File
Open File will allow a previously saved
meter configuration to be chosen.
When a file is opened, the configuration
will be loaded into the front end screens
as “the meter configuration being viewed
or edited”, it is not sent straight to the
control surface. The settings can then
be edited if desired and when they are
ready to be used by the control surface
select
SAVE TO FILE LOAD INTO
DESK, and the revized file will be saved
and the settings sent to the control
surface.
SAVINg AND RESTORINg METER CONfIgURATIONS
Save to File
Save to File will save the configuration
being viewed/edited to c:/Alpha/cust1/
meter without loading it onto the console.
Open Active Config
Open Active Config retrieves the settings
that the control surface is using and
displays them on the front end screens
replacing the current configuration being
viewed/edited.
Save Options to Disk and Flash
As the meter setup screens are part of
the options set of screens, it is important
to save the options to disk and flash once
the meter arrangement 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 meter arrangement 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
meter arrangement 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.
