CD Transfer
The D-Show FOH Rack provides a CD-ROM drive that can also
be used as a source device for D-Show data transfer. (You can-
not write data to the FOH Rack CD-ROM drive; it is
read-only.)
To use a CD for transfer:
Using the Standalone software on a laptop or other com-
1
puter, create and save a show.
Locate the D-Show folder on the system drive.
2
Copy that D-Show folder and its contents to a CD-ROM.
3
Make sure the D-Show folder is at the root level of the
CD-ROM.
Burn or write the disc as a Windows-compatible CD-ROM.
4
Insert the CD-ROM into the FOH Rack CD-ROM drive.
5
In the Filing screen, select the CD-ROM drive as the source
6
for file transfer.
When the transfer is complete, eject the CD-ROM.
7
Leaving a disc in the FOH Rack CD-ROM drive can slow
down the response of some software screens, so it is recom-
mended that you not leave any disc in the drive during a
performance. This only applies to the CD-ROM drive in the
FOH rack (not the laptop on which you're running the stan-
dalone software).
