Presets - Extron electronics DMP 64 User Manual

Presets

Presets are used to recall a group of frequently used settings. Presets created by the DSP
Configurator may contain all elements (gain blocks, processor blocks, and mix-points) or a
portion of the elements available within the program. In Emulate mode, up to 32 partial
presets can be created, then uploaded as a set and stored to the device and/or stored to
disk as a configuration file. In Live mode, presets can be created one at a time from the
current state. They can then be saved to a chosen preset number in the device, with the
option to name/rename or save to disk.
When recalled, a preset will only overwrite elements contained in the preset. Presets are
useful when settings for a particular room or only certain elements of a configuration need
to be changed regularly.
An additional preset, Preset 0, contains current state information if reading from the
device in Live mode, or the state of the DSP Configurator if in Emulate mode (titled current
emulation). Current emulation can be a configuration not yet saved as a preset (work in
progress), the last preset or combination of presets recalled within the DSP Configurator,
or the current state of the device as a result of switching from Live to Emulate mode.
Presets may be created in Live or Emulate modes. In emulate mode, the preset or presets
are created, saved to a file, then pushed to the DMP 64 when connecting in live mode.
When a pull data synchronization method is performed, preset data remains in the
DMP 64, with only the list of preset names pulled from the device. Presets in this state
are marked with an asterisk until that preset is recalled (which pulls the preset data from
the device), or until a backup is performed (see Backup). Presets pulled from the device
cannot be saved to disk until they have been recalled, at which time the preset data is
pulled into the DSP Configurator. Presets with no asterisk can be saved to disk.
Saved presets can be recalled via the DSP Configurator, or a control system sending an SIS
preset recall command. Presets may also be saved and recalled via the embedded web
page. Presets saved via the web page contain input gain, output volume, and the primary
mix-point settings.
Previewing/Recalling a Preset
A preset can be previewed in either live or emulate mode by selecting the preset from the
preset drop-down list.
The program indicates a view-only preset configuration by displaying each preset element
with a translucent green mask over the block.
