Channel Compatibility and Input Channel Presets
The following describe how different types of channel data is
handled when storing or loading Input Channel Presets.
Channel Names and Presets
New presets automatically inherit the current Input Channel
Name, or you can give them a custom name in the Presets
window. The default channel number (such as “Ch 16") is
used for the preset name if the channel has an empty (null)
name.
Loading Mono and Stereo Channel Presets
You can load mono Channel Presets into stereo channels, and
stereo Channel Presets into mono channels.
Loading Mono to Stereo
Mono settings are applied equally to
the left and right channels of the stereo destination. The ste-
reo destination channel retains its current balance and width
settings.
Loading Stereo to Mono
When loading a stereo preset into a
mono Input Channel, the left channel settings in the stereo
preset are applied to the mono destination channel. The
mono destination channel retains its current pan setting.
Channel Compatibility
When storing and loading Input Channel presets, remember
the following:
Group bus assignments are not applied if the settings in the
preset do not match the current console Bus Configuration
Aux send level or pan settings for individual aux pairs are
not applied if the stored stereo link/unlink state does not
match the current link/unlink state. For example, assume the
stored preset has Aux 1–2 linked, but the current console con-
figuration has these Auxes unlinked. When the preset is re-
called Aux 1 and Aux 2 will retain their current settings (they
will not be updated), while all other Auxes are updated to the
preset settings.
Transferring Input Channel Presets
Input Channel Presets are available as Built-In Presets in the
Transfer tab of the Filing page. This lets you transfer your
Channel Presets to a USB key disk or other storage device for
backup and transfer to other systems.
Input Channel Presets are supported on all systems running
VENUE D-Show software 2.5 or later, including the Stand-
alone software.

Management.”
