Avolites Pearl Expert questions

[Arez]

EDIT: Never mind, the show just got canceled, budget fell through, apparently I need to find better jobs. Of course, if anyone happens to know the answer I'm still curious.


Hi guys, I was looking for this information but I couldn't seem to find it anywhere reliably and thought I'd see if any of you guys/gals knew.

I have been prospectively hired to design an event and the venue the company is looking at has an Avolite Pearl Expert, I was wondering if there is an offline editor for it, I only saw the Pearl 2004 OLE, and then the console software for the expert. I'm currently sans Windows so I couldn't test them out to see if one of them was the correct OLE.

I am also wondering if it is possible to hook up the Pearl Expert to a visualizer, other than the Avolite visualizer? I'm specifically looking for Wyg, or ESP Vision connectivity, I've read it's possible for the Pearl 2004, but I haven't found anything specifically for the Expert. Though assuming that the Pearl Expert is based on the Pearl 2004 software I'm hoping it would work in some form.

I found out that I would need this to connect to a visualizer. I still don't know about the OLE though.

ACDI

The pearl expert runs different software than the 2000/2004. I know the expert does support eithernet, so you should be able to network the console with a computer running a visualizer. The ACDI only works with the older consoles (pre expert, pearl 2008/2010)
