Device Management Persistence
A SoundGrid host’s session includes a full description of each device in its inventory (e.g., MAC address, clock, preamp settings).
When a device is shared, the session also records whether or not this host manages it. The host sessions in a super system each
keeps track of its own saved device management status. Together, these sessions recall the management status of the entire
system at the last working super session.
A session loads with its devices in their management settings just as they were at the last save.
A managed device will remain managed and a shared unmanaged device will remain
unmanaged, regardless if its manager is online or not. In case of conflicts, or if a change of
management is required, any member of the group can later claim management of a device by
selecting Manage Device in the Device drop-down menu.
There may be situations where a device is not managed by any host. It will continue to stream
audio and can be used and patched, however its specific settings cannot be modified until one
of the hosts claims full management of this device.
Normally, reassigning the management of a device will not affect the audio. In certain situations, however, changing the device
management can resulting in routing changes.
SHARE PREAMP CONTROL
A device manager can enable all clients in a super system to adjust the preamp gain
for a shared device. When Share Preamp Control is selected, any client host can adjust
the preamp gain of any I/O channel of the device. All users sharing this device have
equal control of preamp gain in any patched I/O channel.
For more information on how to control gain in multi-client environments and how to
retain your gain structure while other users are controlling preamp gain, refer to
