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 initial levels for individual, scenes, songs or sound cues in a performance.
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.
Snapshots store information about mix parameters, or data types, and about which channels are included in the snapshots.
The selection of data types and channels to be stored or recalled is referred to as the scope of a snapshot. The scope of a snapshot
is set using the Data Type Scope buttons and the Channel Scope controls in the Snapshots page.
Snapshots Page
The Snapshots page provides controls for storing, recalling, and managing snapshots, providing a central location for setting up
and replaying automated performances.
