Repeated failures

An incompatible plug-in, a corrupted data 
file or application software, or a hardware 
error.

Check to make sure you are using the most current versions 
of all your plug-ins (check with the manufacturers). If failures 
occur only when you try to use a certain plug-in, disable that
plug-in and see if problems go away. Try re-installing plug-ins 
that are causing problems. 
Determine if a certain Show file causes the system to fail 
consistently. If so, delete that file and see if problems per-
sist. For additional options, see “Performing a Soft Reset” on 
page 229.
Clear the console from the Options > System Config page 
and see if problems persist.
If necessary, you can reinstall D-Show software (see “Updat-
ing or Re-Installing” on page 231). 
If you suspect problems with the system hard drive, or the 
system software, you can do a complete restore (see “Full 
System Restore” on page 231). 
Power down all equipment and check all cards and cable con-
nections and power supplies. 

Plug-Ins

The plug-in racks need to 
be re-initialized

The racks have gone offline. The racks go 
offline whenever the backup personality is in 
effect, and after some conditions in which a 
plug-in or the DSP host failure causes signif-
icant problems. 

Follow the instructions on-screen to reset the racks (see 
“Re-Initializing the Plug-In Racks” on page 228). 

One or more plug-ins are 
unavailable

A Show was loaded that references plug-ins 
which are unavailable on the current system

Install the plug-ins, if available (see “Installing and Authoriz-
ing Plug-Ins” on page 143). 
Remove or replace the plug-ins in the Show, or load a differ-
ent Show file. 

A plug-in is not fully compatible and is caus-
ing failures

Check all plug-ins to make sure you are using the most recent 
versions. Go to Options > Plug-Ins and click the plug-in to dis-
play the version number.
Try disabling plug-ins one-by-one to see if doing so eliminates 
problems (see “Enabling and Disabling Installed Plug-Ins” on 
page 146). 

Plug-in authorization dia-
logs appear every time the 
system starts or restarts

A plug-in is installed that needs to be autho-
rized for demo or full use. 

Click Quit to dismiss the authorization dialog and continue 
starting up (the plug-in will be unavailable).
Click Try to use the plug-in for a limited time in Demo mode. 
Click Authorize if you are ready to authorize a plug-in using an 
iLok. (See “Installing and Authorizing Plug-Ins” on page 143.)

A plug-in demo has expired

Uninstall the plug-in listed in the authorization dialog (see 
“Removing Plug-Ins” on page 144). 

Error Messages

One or More Units have 
Failed

Bad or missing connection

Check all cables and connections. Make sure digital grade 
XLR cables are being used to connect Main Unit and all Side-
car units (VENUE D-Show systems only). 
Check to make sure that the last Sidecar in the chain is prop-
erly terminated (original D-Show systems only).

A unit needs to be reset

Reset the component in Options > Devices. If necessary, 
restart the VENUE system. 

Plug-In Racks Need Reset

The racks have gone offline due to the 
backup personality being in effect, a plug-in 
has failed, or some circumstances have 
caused the DSP engines to require a reset.

Follow the instructions on-screen to reset the racks (see 
“Re-Initializing the Plug-In Racks” on page 228).
