SAVING A CONFIGURATION _______________________________
After you create a configuration, you can save it to either the computer as a scene file, or to the device as a
preset, depending on whether or not you are connected to the P4800. When you are in Live Mode, the
configuration you are creating is written directly to the current live preset. You can save it to the PC at any time
by clicking the [Save As] button on the control bar of the main window.
Scene Files
You can design an entire library of signal flow configurations with the System Processor software without being
connected to the device. Configurations saved to PC are scene files that can be later recalled, revised, and
then sent to the device as presets. Scene files are saved with a “.scn” file extension.
Saving a New Scene
If you are not connected to the device, you will be saving each new signal flow configuration to the
computer as a scene file.
To save a new scene file:
1. In the main window, select [File>Save As Scene File] from the main menu or click the
[Save As] button on the control bar.
2. The Save Scene As dialog will appear.
3. Navigate to the drive and directory location for the new file.
4. Type in a file name and, optionally, a description.
5. Click [Save].
Note: Scene files for other Shure digital signal processor devices, such as the DFR11EQ
or DP11, share the same .SCN file extension. It is best to save scene files for
different device types in separate directories to help distinguish among them.
Using the Description Field
The optional description field entry helps to identify scene files when opening them. The scene file
description is copied over to the preset description when you store the scene file to the device as a
preset.
Revising Scene Files
When you make changes to an existing scene file, you can either save it with a different file name, or
overwrite the previous version.
To revise a scene file:
1. In the main window, select [File>Open Scene File] from the main menu or click the
[Open] button on the control bar.
2. The Open Scene dialog will appear.
3. Navigate to the drive and directory location of the scene file you wish to open.
4. Click on the file to select it, then click the [Open] button.
5. Make the necessary changes.
6. Select [File>Save As Scene] from the main menu or click the [Save As] button on the control bar.
7. The Save Scene As dialog will appear.
8. Click on the original file name to select it, then click [Save].
9. A dialog box will appear that prompts you to verify that you want to overwrite the previous scene file.
10. Click [Yes] to overwrite the file.
