Moving User Content Files And Folders - High End Systems DLHD High Definition Digital Light User Manual

Moving User Content Files and Folders

User content can be easily moved between fixtures or between your local drive and fixtures.
Which method you use depends on:
• How much content you want to move
• What existing server content you want to preserve
• Whether the client machine is currently connected to the Ethernet fixture link
• If you want to maintain currently assigned content identification DMX values
There are several methods for moving User content files and media folders between media
servers to your local drive:
• Drag and Drop
• Copy and Paste commands
• Cloning transfers the User Content files and their DMX value assignments from one media
server to one or more server(s) on the fixture network.
• Creating a Content Archive
• Deploying a Content Archive
Use the following table to determine the best method for your situation.
