Shortcut for Locating Assignments
Before reassigning in the Patchbay, you may want to dou-
ble-check the existing assignment to the desired hardware
output. This can be done quickly from within the Patchbay, as
follows:
To identify the bus or channels currently assigned to a hardware
output:
Click on any dimmed (already assigned) column number at
the top of the Patchbay. The Outputs tab containing the as-
signment is automatically revealed.
VENUE System Information Export
The System Information Export feature lets you generate an
HTML (text) document that details the console’s hardware,
software and currently loaded Show file configurations. This
document can be read by any Internet browser, such as Inter-
net Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Safari.
The System Information document can be sent directly to pro-
duction or rental companies to describe your exact console
needs; alternately, the information can be re-formatted as de-
sired by copying and pasting the data into a word processing
or spreadsheet application.
To export VENUE System Information:
1
Insert a USB key disk into any available USB port on the con-
sole.
2
Go to the
Options > System
page.
3
Click the
Info
button.
4
Do any of the following:
• If you have more than one USB key disk connected, make
sure the correct USB key disk is selected. If it is not, click
Next Disk to cycle through each available disk until the
correct one is selected.
• Click Save to proceed and export system info to the se-
lected USB disk.
• Click Cancel to dismiss the dialog without exporting.
5
Click OK to confirm the export procedure.
You can now remove the USB key disk —from there, you can
transfer the exported file to a personal computer for printing,
formatting, archiving or distribution.
