CD Transfer
The VENUE SC48 provides a CD-ROM drive that can also be
used as a source device for VENUE data transfer. (You cannot
write data to the FOH Rack CD-ROM drive; it is read-only.)
To use a CD for transfer:
1
Using the Standalone software on a laptop or other com-
puter, create and save a show.
2
Locate the VENUE data folder on the system drive.
3
Copy that folder and its contents to a CD-ROM. Make sure
the folder is at the root level of the CD-ROM.
4
Burn or write the disc as a Windows-compatible CD-ROM.
5
Insert the CD-ROM into a VENUE CD-ROM drive.
6
In the Filing screen, select the CD-ROM drive as the source
for file transfer.
7
When the transfer is complete, eject the CD-ROM.
Transferring a Scope Set for the standalone software
Click
Leaving a disc in the CD-ROM drive of a VENUE system
can slow down the response of some software screens, so it
is recommended that you not leave any disc in the drive dur-
ing a performance. This only applies to a VENUE CD-ROM
drive (not the laptop on which you’re running the stand-
alone software).
