The File Version function is independent of the Auto-Save feature located in General Settings.
If you select the Enable File Version checkbox, when you save a venue file manually, every time you press Save or Ctrl + S, it creates a new copy of the currently loaded/updated file with file name having incrementing values of the mentioned format
If you enable Auto-Save in General Settings, It will start saving the file based on your setting for “Number of files” and “Time Interval” at default location or location of your choice. It will also make sure that the number of saved files doesn’t cross the value which you mentioned in “Number of files” in FileàApplication OptionsàGeneral SettingsàAuto save.
For example: After enabling the Auto-save, if you put 5 in “Number of files” and “Time Interval” as 1. Once, you start making changes to the venue, auto-save will start saving the venue file at the custom/default location. Every 1 minute after a change is made in the venue it will create a new venue file. Once the back up venue file count reaches the 5th it will overwrite the oldest file in the folder.
Note: Self-Healing settings are enabled only when venue has a server. This message disappears when a Contrio server has been added to the venue.
Mark the checkbox to enable Self-healing.
The Contrio Server Self-Healing is the ability for the server to, in the event of a device failure, recognize an identical model device and automatically configure that device with the settings of the failed device and set the new device online.
For example: While online using a Contrio Server (both the BLU and Dante versions will act identically) connected to a BSS BLU-800 device which as been configured for a small restaurant, the BLU-800 fails. Self-healing allows you to replace the failed BLU-800 with a new BLU-800, make all the proper connections and the configuration will be sent to the new device.

AVB Audio preferences
Stream Mode: Manual Mode only. In this mode AA is responsible for defining the steam IDs.
Prefix Scheme: Each stream ID on the network must be unique across the entire AVB network.
The prefix is a way of guaranteeing globally unique stream IDs and the prefix must be unique per venue file. The recommended method is to use MAC address because they are already globally unique.
User Defined, Random or Device MAC. The Prefix Scheme determines how the MAC address (the first twelve characters of the sixteen character stream ID) is derived. This derives a unique stream ID in the event of more than one connected AVB network.
