Save Your Work
MAKE A BACKUP!!!
The SmartDisplay is located at the top of the Master Control Panel on the DSC
(See the Introduction section). The SmartDisplay tells you what each of the
four function keys (
F1 - F4 ) do if you press them. Their actions vary depending
on the menu displayed; use them to navigate through the console menus.
At any time, pressing the [ Esc ] key one or more times will get you back to this
Main menu.
From the top-level Main menu, [ F1 ] (Setup) accesses the Console Setup
menus, [ F2 ] (Snap) the Snapshot menu, [ F3 ] (System) the File system & console
int/external communication menus and [ F4 ] (Grps) the Groups menus. These
menus are covered in detail later.
Save your work on the hard disk in the support computer. The information you
save on the internal hard disk can be transferred to a removable medium for
backup or additional storage. Systems are currently shipped with a 3.5” floppy
drive and a removable cartridge drive.
It is best to begin by naming a project. Naming a new project creates a
directory (“folder”) on the support computer’s hard drive into which all your
work can be saved and later retrieved (these functions will be described later).
The computer now has a place to store your titles, which contain snapshots,
mixes, and other important console information.
The support computer effectively has 3 disk drives:
A: 3.5” high-density 1.4MB floppy drive - for updating software.
C: Internal hard drive - for saving your work.
D: Removable cartridge drive - for backups and archiving your work.
The removable cartridge D: drive is what you would normally use to transport
projects or individual titles for use in another studio, or for backup purposes.
Floppy disks may also be used to back up smaller files.
BACK UP YOUR DATA! We cannot stress this fact enough. Keep at least one
recent backup on hand in case you have any problems with your system, and
keep a second in case you have problems with the first backup. As with any
computer-based system, regular and complete backups are essential to protect
your system files.
