Chapter 21: Snapshots
The D-Show Snapshots feature lets you flexibly store and recall a wide range of console mixing parameters. Snapshots are com-
monly used to store the mixer setup and levels for individual scenes, songs or sound cues in a performance. Snapshots store in-
formation about channels and mix parameters, and you can use a variety of methods to edit, preview, and manage snapshot data.
Snapshots are contained and stored as part of a Show. A single Show file can contain up to 999 snapshots. Snapshots are con-
trolled from the on-screen Snapshots page, or from the dedicated Snapshot controls of the ACS section. Once stored, snapshots
can be recalled according to incoming MTC. The Event List provides additional capabilities for storing and recalling snapshots.
The selection of data types and channels to be recalled is referred to as the scope of a snapshot. The scope of data to be recalled
is also stored within each snapshot, and is set using the Data Type Scope buttons and the Channel Scope controls in the Snap-
shots page. In addition, the Recall Safe page provides global control of automation safe status for individual parameters on spe-
cific channels.
Snapshots Page
The Snapshots page provides controls for storing, recalling, and managing snapshots, providing a central location for setting up
and replaying automated performances.
