The Vortex has built-in non-volatile storage that can store 16 factory default presets, 32 user presets, and 256 user macros. A
preset is a complete setting for the Vortex and stores over 2,000 user configurable parameters such as mic/line gains, filter
parameters, matrix cross points, etc. A macro is a much smaller collection of settings (up to 256 settings) and can be used to make
changes to the Vortex settings or even send commands out the RS232 port to control other devices. Macros can be thought of as
mini-presets, i.e., they configure some settings – what the user specifies to configure - but not everything. A macro can change
specific cross points, input gains, output gains, muting, etc. For example the user can have a preset and then have multiple macros
that can be executed based on contact closures to reconfigure gains, assignments of inputs to automixers, etc. All macros and
presets can have a 16-character text label to make it easy to remember what they do.
The factory default presets (presets 0 to 15) represent common configurations for the Vortex and are present on any Vortex you
use. The user presets (presets 16-47) can be used to store any collection of settings that the designer requires for a given
installation.
The user can write-protect the Vortex with a password so that only authorized users can save a preset and change which preset
the device powers up into.
All the analog inputs and outputs and the logic control inputs and logic status outputs of the Vortex can have text labels that may
be up to 16 characters in length. These labels are stored within the device just like the presets and macros and can be
downloaded into a PC along with the other settings.
Macros are created within Conference Composer on the Macro screen by either typing in commands or selecting commands from a
pull down menu.
