Defining and Executing Global Presets
Global presets are predefined sets of switches that can easily be executed at one time. The Octaire
Control Panel supports up to 64 global presets. A global preset number can be assigned to a routing state
during runtime and stored by the system, allowing you to replicate an entire system state. (The system
state includes audio volume/gain settings and all signal routings.) That system state can be restored at
any time by selecting the assigned global preset number. Global presets can be defined or recalled using
either the Octaire Control Panel or BCS commands interchangeably.
Defining Global Presets
A global preset is a snapshot of an entire system’s state which enables that system state to be recalled at
a later time. Before defining a Global Preset, route the system to the desired state (including audio
settings if applicable).
All 64 global preset numbers are displayed in the Global Preset submenu, even if the numbers do not
correspond to a defined global preset. Be aware that there is no way to distinguish a Global Preset
number that has been assigned to a routing state from an undefined Global Preset.
Caution: We strongly recommend keeping track of the number and the system state routing used
for each global preset. If a previously used number is assigned to another system state (using either
the Octaire Control Panel or BCS commands), the former state will be automatically overwritten.
The example below defines Global Preset 3, and the example on the next page executes Global Preset 3.
Important: Wait approximately ten seconds for the system to permanently store the global preset
setting before performing another operation
.
