• Console hardware ID number. A unique ID number will be generated for each
console that opens a single show file. When a new show file is created, the
console ID number will always be (1) one.
• Physical Ring. The System Configuration window represents your system’s
physical "ring" of devices. The consoles and devices are displayed and connected
by cabling lines in their actual order in the system. If a device is off-line or not
communicating, this will be reflected by a break in the ring.
• NIF Icon. The NIF icon is displayed in color with an indication to show if the
DMX board is not online. If the box in the right-hand corner is red, the board is
not online (or not installed).
Console Naming
The console naming feature is useful when two consoles are connected to a single
system - also refer to “Setting Up a Backup Console” on page 262 - to identify each
console. For example, you could name the consoles "Main" and "Backup." For each
console, the name is displayed in its Versions window and underneath its System
Configuration icon.
Note: A console displays its own name in bold underneath the icon. All others will
appear in a regular font.
Name a console:
Step 1. At System Configuration window, double-click
icon of console to be named or at Virtuoso icon
menu, select Versions... Versions window will
open.
Step 2. At name field, type console name.
Step 3. Close window. (Name can be changed at anytime
by re-opening window and typing in new name.)
