Venue Preset

Recalls settings for the whole system, this includes selected (or all) devices, their Device Presets and, Parameter Presets for selected Parameter Preset Groups. Venue Presets are useful for system wide changes in set up across multiple boxes.

To create a Venue Preset press the red ‘V’ button in the Preset toolbar. This opens the Venue Preset window where these presets can be created, configured, renamed, recalled and deleted.

Start a Venue Preset by pressing the ‘New’ button. You are then prompted to type a name, use something that describes the purpose of the preset, e.g. for a stadium, ‘Pitch set up’ and ‘Track set up’. Continue with the ‘Next’ button where you can now select which devices you want to change settings in.

The following screen allows you to select Device Presets to recall when the Venue Preset is selected; click in the Device Presets boxes to engage drop down lists of any pre-stored Device Presets. If the current set up of the devices is what you want to go with then use the ‘Snapshot’ facility to create Device Presets automatically.

Next a list of pre-configured Parameter Preset Groups can be selected for use with Parameter Presets (in the next screen along if ticked here) to further change settings.

Note that if the required settings have been achieved through a Device Preset selection earlier then there may be no need to use these groups of settings. Conversely, if the Device Presets are not configured, i.e. left blank, then the Venue Preset can be used to exclusively change certain parameters based on predetermined control groups using Parameter Presets.

Device Presets are perhaps better for easy box based overall changes that might include Configuration changes or other hardware settings that cannot be accessed through Parameter Presets. Parameter Presets are better for more focused actions within certain devices.

The final screen shows a summary of the setting that has been created for the Venue Preset; check this carefully to make sure that the preset will have the desired result. You can go back through all the settings to change assignments as necessary. The ‘Finish’ button in this screen closes the window and returns back to the Venue Presets window.

The settings for a Venue Preset can be edited at any time by clicking on the Venue Preset name in the list and pressing the ‘Configure’ button, this runs through the process described above again.
