GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
44 | AMX-3981
The Save Probe To pulldown gives access to the five user-settable presets. Once one is selected, clicking on the
Save button saves the values detected by the probe into the user presets, in effect setting the preset to match the
current program stream.
Note – If you attempt to save the card configuration to a User Preset when the Metadata generator settings do not
correspond to a Metadata Preset value (i.e. if the Current Generator Preset data box shows “Custom”), you will
trigger a warning because of the way the Metadata Generator settings are saved. See page 56 for a complete
explanation. You may need to return to this panel and save the “custom” settings into a Metadata preset before you
can save the card configuration to a User Preset.
• Avoid this by getting in the habit of saving the Generator Metadata settings each time you change them.
The Metadata Profiles… button gives access to a panel that allows the user to copy the card settings from this AMX-
3981 to other AMX-3981 cards accessible via iControl.
The Copy profile from line shows the current AMX-3981 card.
• The Profiles column contains a pulldown that lists the profiles that are available to copy.
• The list includes the generator, plus the 5 metadata presets
You can save the selected profile to disk for future recall:
• Click the Save profile to disk… button and select a disk location and file name to save the file.
You can recall a previously-saved profile from disk and load it into the card:
• Click the Restore profile from disk… button and find the appropriate file
• Click Open to load the contents of the file into the current AMX-3981
The Copy profile to area shows all other AMX-3981 cards that have been detected on the iControl network.
