OmniTek OTR 1001 User Guide, v3.1 B-14
B.4 Presets
Particular combinations of settings and other selections can be captured for recall on subsequent
occasions by recording these as Presets.
Four types of Preset can be recorded: View Presets ; Gen Presets ; Config Presets and System
Presets .
View Presets record the detailed layout of the View window (including all the settings in
the View Properties).
Gen Presets record all the settings in the Gen properties, together with the details of the
‘patterns’ (images, sequences, line patterns and zone plates) that are currently loaded for
play-out but not the source files for these patterns.
Config Presets record the current set of audio, video and system configuration settings.
System Presets record all the details about the current system that would be recorded by a
View Preset, a Gen Preset and a Config Preset, together with such things as the
positioning of the different windows when the OTR is used in Windows mode, which
toolbars are displayed and where they appear on the display.
Multiple presets of each type can be recorded. Presets are identified by a number which may be
used to select the required Preset (see below). A short description can also be included to aid in
identification.
When a Preset is selected, all the settings that the Preset records are replaced by the values etc.
that are recorded in the Preset. So when a View Preset is selected, it populates the View window
with the saved combination of tiles. Similarly, when a Config Preset is selected, the various
settings shown in the Config window are replaced by the ones that were in place when the Preset
was recorded, and when a Gen Preset is selected, the Gen properties are set to match the ones
recorded in the Gen Preset and the patterns are replaced by the set of patterns that were in place
when the Preset was recorded.
Note: It is up to the user to ensure that the source files to which
these patterns refer are available in their expected locations.
When a System Preset is selected, all three of the View window, the Gen window and the Config
window are changed to reflect the settings recorded in the Preset. It also puts the windows in the
positions they had when the Preset was saved and switches the selected input stream back to the
one that was selected when the Preset was saved. (It doesn’t, of course, change the data stream
on the selected input.)
To make individual System Presets and/or combinations of individual View and/or Gen and/or
Config Presets even easier to recall, these can also be assigned to function keys.
The number of the currently selected View Preset is displayed on the Status Bar, followed by an
asterisk when the layout has been changed from the recorded version in some way.
A number of ‘Factory’ Presets are supplied alongside the OTR software. These Presets cannot be
altered in any way but a ‘User’ Preset (i.e. one set up by the user as described below) that is
assigned to the same Preset number takes precedence and will always be used in place of the
Factory Preset. (For further information, see Section U.)
