MANAGING SHOWS
Loading Shows, copying Shows to and from USB data storage devices, and creating new Shows is done
from the following page. It is reached by pressing [MENU] and then the <SHOW> tab at the top of the
page (or the Show name at the top of the Cue List display area, which is at the top right corner of the main
screen, can be touched).
Note that the Show page appears as shownas above if a USB data storage device is present in the USB
slot. If there isn’t any external memory, the right-hand side of the screen is blank, and the Export/Import
Controls are not shown. Up to 3 external storage devices can be connected: if more than one is detected,
additional buttons will appear to the right of the <EXT1> button, and pressing the required button will
select that device.
Flash Drive
The left-hand side of the page displays the shows which are present on the console’s flash drive. The up
and down-arrows on the touch screen are used to scroll though the available Show titles. Pressing and
holding the arrow keys scrolls at a higher speed. Once the required show has been highlighted, in the
double-height yellow-outlined box, the three buttons on the left can be used as follows:
The <LOAD> button will load the selected Show into the console (note that the currently-loaded
show’s title is shown in yellow text above the list).
The <NAME> button allows the user to name/rename the show, the on-screen keyboard is
displayed.
The<DEL> button deletes the show from the flash drive (note that the currently-loaded show
cannot be deleted). A confirmation dialogue is displayed.
Default Shows
The console comes with some factory-installed shows. These are not normally visible in the list, but they
can be seen by pressing the <SHOW DFLTs> button. The default Shows are at the top of the list and are
shown in italic text. They cannot be deleted with the <DEL> button, nor renamed. The Default Shows are
designed to reset the whole console back to a ‘flat’ starting point.
Creating A New Show
The user can select a default show or another existing show and use the <SAVE AS> button. The user will
then be asked to enter a name for the new Show using the on-screen keyboard. This new show can then
be edited as required.
