VENUE System Information Export
The System Information Export feature lets you generate an
HTML (text) document that details the system’s hardware,
software and currently loaded Show file configurations. This
document can be read by any Internet browser, such as Inter-
net Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Safari.
The System Information document can be sent directly to pro-
duction or rental companies to describe your exact console
needs. Once exported, the information can be re-formatted as
desired by copying and pasting the data into a word process-
ing or spreadsheet application.
To export VENUE System Information:
1 Insert a USB key disk into a USB port on the system.
2 Go to the Options > System page.
3 Click the Info button.
4 Do any of the following:
• If you have more than one USB key disk connected, make
sure the correct USB key disk is selected. If it is not, click
Next Disk to cycle through each available disk until the
correct one is selected.
• Click Save to proceed and export system info to the se-
lected USB disk.
• Click Cancel to dismiss the dialog without exporting.
5 Click OK to confirm the export procedure.
You can now remove the USB key disk —from there, you can
transfer the exported file to a personal computer for printing,
formatting, archiving or distribution.
Standalone Software
When exporting System Info from the Standalone software,
the exported System Information file is displayed immediately
using the default browser installed on your computer.
