Saving your show les to a USB memory stick
When you are satised that your show le is how you want it, we recommend
that you save it to a removable storage device (USB memory stick). This provides
a valuable back up should the show le stored in the internal memory of the
control centre be lost, for example, due to inadvertent deletion.
You can also load show les onto the control centre from the same storage device.
>> To save (export) a show le to a USB memory stick
1. If necessary, close and save the show le you want to export; you can’t
export a show le that is open.
2. Insert the USB memory stick into the active USB socket, which is the one
with the ashing active LED. For example, USB key 2 (shown below).
3. Do one of the following:
• At the GUI, choose home  Files.
• In the primary navigation zone, press the automation/ling screen
access button twice.
4. You may see an “Analysing...” message in the Removable Storage panel,
which means that the MIDAS folder on the USB memory stick is being read.
Wait for the message to clear. Then, in the Control Surface panel, click the
show le you want to copy (shown below).
5. Click EXPORT.
6. In the Are You Sure you Want To Export? message window, click OK.
The le will start copying to the USB memory stick.
7. When your show le appears in the Removable Storage panel, it has
nished copying to the USB memory stick. Remove the USB memory stick.
>> To load (import) a show le from a USB memory stick
The procedure is similar to the export procedure, as detailed in “To save (export)
a show le to a USB memory stick”, but select the le to be imported to the
control centre from the Removable Storage panel and then click IMPORT.
External AES50 synchronisation
If you want to connect AES50 audio between two MIDAS digital consoles the slave console must be set to external AES50 synchronisation, irrespective of the
synchronisation source of the master console.
