Snapshot Controls on the D-Show
Control Surface
Snapshot controls appear in three locations on the control
surface: the Options & Snapshots section in the ACS, the
Snapshot Master Controls, and the Snapshot Output Safes.
These controls provide direct access to a few basic snapshot
commands and allow manual control of snapshot recall.
Options & Snapshots Section
You can target, store, and recall snapshots from the Snapshots
controls in this section.
The Snapshot controls in the Options and Snapshots section
perform the following functions:
Store Stores the current state of scoped parameters in the tar-
geted snapshot. This switch mirrors the Store button in the
Snapshots page.
Recall Recalls the targeted snapshot. This switch mirrors the
Recall button in the Snapshots page.
Select Encoder and Displays Turning the Select encoder scrolls
through and targets snapshots in the Snapshots list. The dis-
plays show the number and name of the currently targeted
snapshot.
Previous Instantly recalls the previous snapshot in the Snap-
shots list. This switch mirrors the Recall Previous button in
the Snapshots page.
Next Instantly recalls the next snapshot in the Snapshots list.
This switch mirrors the Recall Next button in the Snapshots
page.
Snapshot Master Controls
The following controls are available on the console in the
Snapshot Master Controls section:
Safe Selected Lets you put any combination of Input Chan-
nels and Output channels in automation safe mode. This
switch works independently of the Safe switches on Input
Channels.
Safe All Toggles all Input Channels and Output channels on
D-Show in and out of automation safe mode. This switch
works independently of the Safe switches on Input Channels.
Chase MTC Enables automated recall of snapshots when the
MTC Read or MTC Generate options are enabled. This switch
mirrors the Chase MTC button in the Snapshots page.
Disable Temporarily disables the storage, recall, and manage-
ment of snapshots. The Disable switch lights to indicate that
the Disable function is active. This switch mirrors the Disable
button in the Snapshots page.
Snapshot Output Safes
Output Safe controls the automation safe status of all 8 output
channels of a given type; individual output channels cannot
be safed with these switches. Each switch lights to indicate
that the corresponding output type is automation safe.
The MIDI Safe switch mirrors the function of the MIDI Snap-
shot Output Safe option. See “Safing MIDI Message Output”
on page 169.
Output Types include:
• Auxes (1–8 and 9–16)
• Personal Qs
• Matrixes
• Groups
• VCAs
• Mains
• MIDI
Snapshot controls in the ACS Section
The Previous and Next switches combine target and recall
actions in one step, causing the next or previous snapshot
to be instantly active. These switches cannot be used to pre-
view snapshots before recalling them.
