Uploading Scenes to the Interfaces
Some, not all, of the ShowXpress™ interfaces have on-board memory and processing. This means
that they are capable of running one or more programs in standalone mode.
This feature may be useful for an automatic backup. Or, if there is not going to be a computer
available to operate the lighting, but a custom program is desired to be programmed in an easy to
learn interface, then this is a very useful option.
The instructions for uploading are going to vary between the different interfaces. Please see the
instructions for the interfaces.
