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. Each host session in a multi-system network keeps track of its own saved device management
status. Together, these sessions describe the management status of all the hosts.
A SuperRack session loads with its management settings just as they
were at the last save: a managed device will remain managed and a
shared unmanaged device will remain unmanaged, whether its
manager is online or not. In case of conflicts, or if a change of
management is required, any host can 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 it
can be used, and patched, but its control panel 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 result in routing changes.
