Presets – Advanced Presets
Most Presets will be created as a single command, as shown on the previous page. In version 3.0 and above, you
can also create a multi-step preset. There are several key applications to this feature:
Creating a “Matrix” Preset
This type of multi-step preset can create an array of displays and channels. For example, a sports bar may want to
set up a group of displays to present a pattern of channels. The Preset above was created with this process:
 Beforehand, the user creates a series of Macros for each channel, and seven groups of displays, each
group including two displays.
 Click Show Commands in the Macro section to display or hide the Command section (see the next
page for that image).
 Click on Presets – Adv Edit, then click the “+” button at the right to enter the first line.
 Select a Group of displays (could be a Zone or individual display as well.
 Click a Macro, then click Set Macro. Notice that the row will show what commands are in the Macro.
 If you want to add a time delay between rows, enter a delay time and use Set Delay to add the delay.
 Click “+” to start the next row.
o You could create the array of displays first, then go back and select the Macro for each display.
o Note that when a row is active for editing, it will turn red.
o You can also add a Preset to the list.
 You can also use Add Preset to insert a single or multiple Presets into the list. Once the Preset is added,
you can change Displays, Macros, or Commands as you need.
 If you want to re-arrange the list, select a row and use the Up and Down arrows on the right to move.
 Enter a name and Save.
 Once you have the matrix defined, you can use Copy Existing Preset, change the Macros and save the
new array by a new name.
