are replicated in all the assigned Modules, resulting in improved efficiency in system configuration and a
reduction in on-screen icons within the Lake Controller software.
Consider the case of Modules in three PLMs being configured as Classic 3-Way Crossovers. In this case
each PLM has Hi, Mid and Low outputs, but one spare input and one spare output is available on each.
In this case, a total of three spare inputs and outputs are available. In order for these not to go to waste it
is possible to combine them as a Super Module. By allowing utilization of available DSP across multiple
frames, this Super Module is capable, for example, of providing an additional 3-way crossover.
In this example, it would be necessary to parallel the 'spare' inputs on each of the three PLMs together. The
Hi, Mid and Low outputs would be spread across the three PLMs.

8.4 Presets

The Lake system provides four types of Presets: Module Files, Frame Presets, Subsystem Presets and
System Presets. These can be used to store Module configuration data on a per-Module or per-Frame basis,
or globally across the entire system of networked PLMs.

8.4.1 Module files

Once a Module has been configured for a specific speaker system (including crossover, EQ, limiter and
delay settings) it is good practice to store the data in the PC. This allows the Module configuration data to
be loaded into other Modules on the network or stored for future use. It is not possible to store a Module
File (or configuration file) within the PLM. For further details on storing Module data see chapter 7.5 (Module
Store/Recall) of the Dolby Lake Controller User Manual. Module files based on modules from the LoadLi-
brary will also include the loudspeaker specific Fingerprint data.

8.4.2 Frame Presets

A maximum of 100 Frame Presets can be stored within the PLM's processor. The data within a Frame
Preset includes the configurations of all Modules in the Frame: gain, delay and limiter levels; input mixer
configurations; and output routing information. As Frame Presets are stored within the PLM, complete
processor configurations may be recalled without the need to connect the PLM to a PC.
Frame Presets can either be recalled via the Lake Controller software, or via the PLM front panel display.
See chapter 9.12.6.1 (Recall Frame Preset submenu) in this document and chapter 5.7.3 (Frame Presets) of
the Dolby Lake Controller User Manual for further information.

8.4.3 Subsystem Presets

The Subsystem Presets function allows selected Module and Super Module configurations to be stored
from a larger system of networked PLMs and Dolby Lake Processors.
For further information see chapter 6.7 of the Dolby Lake Controller User Manual.

8.4.4 System Presets

The System Presets function allows entire system configurations to be stored in a network of PLMs and
Dolby Lake Processors. This enables fast retrieval and switching of configurations as there is minimal data
being sent between the Controller and processors.
For further information see chapter 6.7 of the Dolby Lake Controller User Manual.
