4.7.10 Presets

Click on the 

Unit Presets

 tab to open the 

Presets 

window (Figure 4.16).

The DBC Network Bridge has the ability to reconfigure itself with a single command. Thirty-two 
'Presets' can be stored and recalled via a variety of means including the front panel, a Control Port 
Input, or a scheduled 'Event'. 

Preset 32 is the standard cinema setup

, which works in most 

cases. Preset 32 is explained under number 6 below.

1. Store

For a Preset to be stored, all of the individual controls needs to be set up using IQwic while on-
line to the DBC Network Bridge, then press the 'Store' button and a select a Preset.

To ensure that settings are not inadvertently lost due to selecting a Preset instead of storing a Pre-
set, the “Prompt to recall or store” checkbox allows a query window to display whenever a Preset 
button is pressed in order to ensure the intent of the user.

2. Label

Each Preset has a 32 character user-definable label.

3. Preset Segue

This enables smooth level transitions between Presets. When a Preset is selected, all of the fader 
settings are changed at a rate that is determined by the ‘Preset Segue Settings’ box. The rate of 
change can be either a 'Fixed Time' that is selectable from 0 second to 255 seconds or a 'Fixed 
Rate' that goes from 0.5 dB/sec to 40 dB/sec.

4. Verify Recall or Store

When you click on a Preset number, this window appears so that you can recall the selected Pre-
set, store it, or cancel.

5. Preset Options Notice

Right-click on preset numbers to open more options: Load or save Presets to file, cut or copy Pre-
sets to clip area, and Edit Presets. Selecting 

Edit Presets

 opens the 

Preset Editor

 window 

described on page 38.

6. Standard Cinema Preset Button (Preset 32)

Pressing this button recalls the preset for a standard cinema setup: a read-only preset that cannot 
be edited by the user. If you want to create a preset based on Preset 32 but with changes, save it to 
another Preset. The Standard Cinema preset contains the following settings in the DBC Network 
Bridge:

•

The input is set to analog; the outputs are set to –20 dB. 

•

The Monitor is set to Ch1 at 0 dB.

•

The CobraNet output for L, R, C, SW is set to TxA on Bundle 100 at 24 -bit.

•

The CobraNet output for SL, SR, BSL, BSR is set to TxB on Bundle 200 at 24-bit.

•

The CobraNet input for all eight input channels set to TxA on Bundle 300.
