About Show Files
All programming information for a production (i.e., a show) is stored in a
show file
. Show files are made up of
individual data files nested within a show file folder. When the Vx76 software application is launched, it will
automatically open the last show file used on the console, unless one is not available, in which case a new show file is
automatically opened.
Show files can be managed by one of two methods: 1) using the Utilities screen available in the console’s central
touchscreen, or 2) using the Show File Manager window available in the Mac menu bar. These controls allow show
files to be opened, duplicated, renamed, deleted, imported, and/or archived to an external storage device.
