CDC FOUR

Maintenance page

NOTE: Selecting the Maintenance page from the System Settings page stops

the CDC FOUR’s main operating program and starts a separate software routine.

Audio is muted in Maintenance mode, so this page should not be opened during

performance. Loading the maintenance page takes approx. 20 seconds.

The following options are available from the Maintenance page via the Softkeys:

Softkey 1 (Full Backup): This permits all settings, parameters and firmware in

the CDC FOUR to be saved to an external memory device connected to the

USB port in the Central Control Module. It effectively creates a full “image” of the

console for security purposes.

A full backup creates a zip file cdc4-update.zip in the root folder of the

memory device. The size of the file is approx. 2MB.

Softkey 2 (Scene Backup): This allows the current Scene List to be backed up

to external memory. A zip file cdc4-scene.zip is created in the root folder of

the memory device. Note – any subsequent Backup will overwrite the previously-

saved file, as the filename is unique.

Softkey 3 (Full Restore): Selecting this option will allow all the CDC FOUR’s

settings to be restored in full to a previously-saved state. The Full Restore

procedure looks for a backup zip file on the memory device, and will automatically

restore all settings without further operator action.

Softkey 4 (Scene Restore): This option loads a previously-saved Scene List into

the CDC FOUR, thus allowing the “running order” of a show to be restored.

Softkey 5 (Net Update): Select this option to perform a remote software update.

The CDC FOUR will automatically download the latest software directly from

Cadac’s support server.

WARNING: Performing a Net Update will delete ALL console settings, including

all stored Scenes. Before proceeding with the update procedure it is strongly

recommended that either a Full Backup or Scene Backup is performed.

Proceed as follows:
