load Session Configuration

Session Configuration: This action opens a dialog box that allows the selection and opening of an
4-04 GC Operation
If there is more than one Session Configuration on your Vista system, you may
need to access this menu item in order to load a different Session Configura-
tion. Since Titles will automatically open the correct Session Configuration
(if its not already loaded), using the Load Configuration menu item is only
necessary when loading a Session Configuration without opening a Title.
Regardless of how a Session Configuration is recalled, this process takes 20
to 30 seconds to complete, and mutes the console during loading.
Note: Keep in mind that all Titles contain pointers that enable the loading of the
proper Session Configuration and other appropriate files. If the Title's Session
Configuration is different from the one that is currently loaded, you will be
asked to either confirm the loading of the correct Configuration or to convert
the Title for use with the current one. Therefore, during routine operation,
it is not necessary to use the Load Configuration menu unless the user has
created or modified a Session Configuration during that session. Typically, the
Load Configuration menu item should only be used by the facility's System
Administrator or by advanced users.
Session Configuration subdirectories reside in the
rectory. These subdirectories contain the following files:
• Virtual Mixing Console (VMC) files: These files (with
are created by the Session Configuration Tool. They contain all the Con-
figuration data needed for the Session Configuration Tool to create a core

• Preset files: These files (if any exist) are created within Titles but are saved
with Session Configurations so they can be used with any Title that uses
a particular Configuration. Preset files have .pre extensions.
existing Session Configuration. A list of available Session Configurations for
selection will be displayed.
 Tip You should generally organize your Session Configurations in such a way
that
C:\D950SYSTEMDB
automatically searches for that directory during opening of a Title or Session
Configuration.
To load a configuration, double-click on it, or highlight it and click the Open
button. This will do the following:
• Mute the console's audio paths (including the monitoring section);
• Load the appropriate VMC data (core file) into the system, and check their
validity;
• Erase the old Session Configuration DSP software from the Flash EPROM
in the DSP Core, and load the new DSP software;
• Reload the control surface desk (the Channel Strips will go blank for a few
moments);
• Load the appropriate Monitor Configuration file;
• Activate the last used preferences belonging to the newly loaded Session
Configuration.
