Saving Registers
For archive purposes and to keep safe backup copies of your valuable switcher setups, it is
recommended that you store your setups and registers on a storage device. One storage device is
capable of storing all categories of Synergy setup registers:
• Memory Registers (all 100) are stored in the file
MEMORYS.SYN
.
• S&T 3D Memory Registers (all 100) are stored in the file
ST3DMEM.SYN
.
• Custom Control Registers are stored in the file
CUSTCTRL.SYN
.
• Personality Registers are stored in the file
PERS.SYN
.
• VTR Clip Registers are stored in the file
VTR.SYN
.
• Installation Registers are stored in the file
INSTALL.SYN
.
• 3D Sequence Registers are stored in the file
ST3DSEQ.SYN .
• All Individual Memories Registers are stored in the files
STMEM##.SYN
, which
identifies a Squeeze & Tease 3D memory, and
MEM##.SYN
, which identifies a regular
switcher snapshot. Note that
##
represents the number of the memory register.
Saving Registers to a Storage Device
Use the following procedure to save registers to a storage device:
1. Navigate to the Disk Menu as follows:
• Press HOME B Disk .
Disk Menu
2. Insert a storage device into the Synergy Switcher as follows:
• Insert a pre-formatted 1.44 MB high-density floppy disk, or a floppy disk that
already contains memory registers, into the floppy disk drive of the Synergy
Switcher.
Note You must have the USB Removable Media Drive option installed in
order to use a USB key for saving registers.
Note Although one storage device is capable of storing all categories of
Synergy registers, there is a physical limitation of 224 files in the root
directory. Please keep this in mind if you are storing individual
memories, custom controls and S&T 3D sequences to a storage device.
Synergy disk files are designed in a proprietary compressed format that
can only be read by Synergy switchers. However, the files can be
copied and saved on a computer.
