<p id="siteSub">Recalls settings for the whole system.
&#160;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.</p>
<p>To create a Venue Preset press the red '<span class="hcp1">V'</span>
button in the Preset toolbar. This opens the Venue Preset
window where these presets can be created, configured,
renamed, recalled and deleted.</p>
<p>Start a Venue Preset by pressing the '<span class="hcp1">New'</span>
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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 '<span class="hcp1">Configure'</span>
button, this runs through the process described above
again.</p>

<h1>Venue Preset recall and the HiQnet Node object</h1>
<p>Venue Preset recall is part of the HiQnet protocol and
its functionality is available on all HiQnet devices.
In a Soundweb London system, Venue Presets can be triggered
from a PC running HiQnet London Architect software and/or
from a BLU network device. This section will deal with
Venue Preset recall from a BLU network device.</p>
<p>By default, a BLU network device sends the Venue Recall
command (across the Ethernet Control network) to all the
BLU network devices and Crown PIP modules in the design
file. This functionality can be extended to other HiQnet
network devices by adding the HiQnet Node object to your
design, solely for the purpose of recalling Venue Presets
from a BLU network device.</p>
<h2>Preparing Venue Presets</h2>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="p"><p>The Venue Presets must exist inside
your non-Soundweb HiQnet device. They must be created
and loaded into the device using System Architect</p></li>
<li class="p"><p>Equivalent Venue Presets must be created
in London Architect. Each Venue Preset will be assigned
an ID number incrementally, starting from ID 1. If
a Venue Preset is deleted, its ID will be released
and used for the next Venue Preset created.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>Adding and setting up a HiQnet Node device</h2>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="p"><p>Drag the HiQnet Node object from the
Hardware View onto the Main window. Alternatively
the object can be added by right-clicking and selecting
it from the drop-down context menu.</p></li>
<li class="p"><p>In the Properties, enter the HiQnet
Node address of the device.</p></li>
<li class="p"><p>Go online and load the design into
the BLU devices.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The HiQnet Node address of the non-Soundweb device will
now respond to a Venue Preset recall from the BLU network
device. The Venue Preset can be triggered by using a logic
circuit, network wall controller, Control Input ports
or 3rd party Serial controller. (eg: AMX, Crestron)</p>

&#160;
<p>&#160;When going online, a BLU network device (except
the BLU-8) will hold a list of HiQnet node addresses of
the network devices in the design. The Venue Recall messages
will continue to be sent to those devices until they are
removed from the list. To stop the BLU network device
sending Venue Preset recall messages to the HiQnet devices
represented by the HiQnet Node objects, follow the procedure
below.</p>
<h2>Removing a HiQnet Node device and stopping the Venue
Recalls</h2>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="p"><p>Delete the HiQnet Node object from
the design</p></li>
<li class="p"><p>Go online</p></li>
<li class="p"><p>Power cycle the BLU network device</p></li>
</ul>
