Restarting the System
If at any time during setup or performance it becomes neces-
sary to restart the system, you can restart the entire system or
reset individual hardware devices.
Setting the System Clock
When you first work with a D-Show system, make sure the sys-
tem clock time, date and time zone are set appropriately. The
system clock setting can affect data synchronization with por-
table storage devices. See “Synchronizing Settings, Shows and
Presets” on page 157.
Enabling a Second Stage Rack
To enable and confirm communication with the second Stage
Rack:
1 Put D-Show in Config mode.
2 Go to the Options page and click the System Config tab.
3 Click Edit.
4 Select Enable Stage2, and click Apply. D-Show restarts.
5 Go to Options > Devices to view D-Show hardware status.
The connection to the second Stage Rack should be displayed
in the FOH Rack graphic.
D-Show faders move when power is turned on. Before pow-
ering up the system, make sure all fader paths on the Main
Unit and Sidecars are clear of obstructions.
On units with redundant power supplies, each power supply
has a separate power switch.
For more information on restarting D-Show and resetting
system hardware, see Chapter 27, “Troubleshooting.”
Changing the system clock while using a timed iLok license
(for a plug-in with a demo period, or for a plug-in rental)
may expire the plug-in authorization.
