About custom files

Some events need input and destination configurations that are not industry standard. These configurations can be saved as sharable custom files. There are three types of custom files:

Each of these files can be used to simplify modifying inputs or destinations that must have the same custom configuration. These files are stored in the memory of the unit and can be shared using a ShowFile. For more information, see:

How to create HDR metadata and EDID files

These files can be created by editing inputs (for HDR metadata) and by editing destinations (EDID). For more information, see “Editing inputs” and “Editing screen destinations”.
