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:
- Formats (input and destination)
- HDR metadata (input)
- EDID (destination)
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:
- For the front panel, “Backup”.
- For the web page, “Backup (USB)” or “Backup (computer)”.
- For Event Master Toolset, “Backup”.
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”.
