Exporting a Show File

Export your Eos Family show file to a standard USITT ASCII, .csv, Focus Track, Moving Light Assistant (MLA) or Fast Focus Pro show file using the export feature.

To export your Eos Family show file in ASCII format, navigate within the Browser to: File > Export > USITT ASCII and press [Select].

You have the option of exporting your show file in ASCII format to the Show File Archive, to a File Server (if connected) or to a USB device.

Navigate to the desired storage location and press [Select]. The alphanumeric keypad will display on the CIA. Name the show file and press [Enter]. The file will be saved in the specified location with the file name you entered with a “.asc” file extension.

You can export Eos Family show files as a .csv format by navigating within the browser to: File> Export> CSV and select the location for the export, the Show File Archive, a File Server (if connected), or to a USB device.

Files can be exported in a Focus Track or Fast Focus Pro format by going to File > Export > Fast Focus Pro or Focus Track and select the location for the export, the Show File Archive, a File Server (if connected), or to a USB device.

Files can be exported in a Moving Light Assistant (MLA) format by going to File > Export > Moving Light Assistant.

This will open the export screen in the CIA. From this screen, you can choose which aspects of the show file you want to export. By default all aspects are selected and will be exported. To withhold any show aspects from exporting, simply deselect them in the CIA by clicking on the respective button. Deselected show aspects will appear in black.

You can also choose to export specific portions of show aspects. To select this information, press the {Advanced} button. In the Advanced screen, all aspects are deselected (black) by default.

To stop the show file from being saved for export, press the {Cancel} button. If you are ready to save, press {Ok}. You will be prompted to name the file. A .csv file will be created.
