buttons at the center of the CIA represent all of the show components that you can choose to
load. By default all components are selected (gray) and will be loaded. To withhold any show
components from loading, simply deselect them in the CIA by touching the respective button.
To reselect all show components, press the {Reset} button and all buttons will return to gray
(selected). To stop the show load process, press the {Cancel} button.
When you have selected/deselected all of the show components you require, press the {OK}
button.
Eos loads the selected show to the console.

any existing data of that type will be cleared from the console.To merge
show data, merge should be used. See

opportunity to load partial components from the show file and be able to specify the desired
location of those partial components in the new show file.

For example, you could specify only cues 5-10 from cue list 2 and load them as cues 20-25 in
cue list 7 in the new show. You could also specify only specific palettes, presets, effects, and
so on. To see the complete list of show components, press the {Advanced} key in the partial
show loading screen.
As you specify components, they are added to a table in the CIA. In the table, fields with a
dark background may be edited, fields with a light gray background do not apply to that
component. For each component in the list, you can specify the desired range by pressing the
proper area in the table and entering numbers from the keypad. The columns in the table are:
•
List - The list you are taking data from (such as a cue list).
•
List Target - The list you are adding the data to.
•
Start - The first in a range of components (such as a range of cues).
