Transferring Settings, Shows and
Presets
You can copy Console Settings, Shows, and Presets to and
from a portable storage device (such as a USB key disk) for
backup, transfer from standalone software, and transfer be-
tween D-Show systems.
Settings, Shows and Presets cannot be loaded onto the desti-
nation D-Show system directly from the portable storage de-
vice, but must first be transferred to the system before loading.
Transfer of Settings files, Show files, and Preset files is man-
aged from the Transfer tab of the Filing page. The Transfer tab
shows the D-Show system files in the left column and the con-
tents of the portable storage device in the right column. Items
are selected for transfer in the center.
To transfer Settings, Shows or Presets between D-Show and a
portable storage device:
1
Go to the Filing page and click the Transfer tab.
2
Connect a portable storage device (such as a USB key disk) to
D-Show. The device appears above the right column.

Synchronizing Settings, Shows and Presets
Instead of transferring data in one direction between the
D-Show system and a portable storage device, you can syn-
chronize all data in both columns of the Transfer tab in a sin-
gle operation.
Synchronizing data causes new files to be copied and files
with the same name but a more recent modification date/time
to be automatically updated.

Cancelled transfers may result in partial folder contents,
which will have to be deleted manually.
When synchronizing data, D-Show replaces data files
of the same name with the file that has the most recent
date/time. Check to be sure that the system clock times
and time zones are correctly set on the D-Show system
and on the computer running D-Show Standalone soft-
ware when preparing data for synchronization.
