Is it possible to take fixture profiles from Element 1.9 or 2.x and load them on Element 1.7.x? I am in a venue with an Element from 2009 still running 1.7. The console firmware version may not be updated under any circumstances, but I need to get some RGBA LEDs working (Generic RGBA profile ignores the A component completely, even when asking for R02 via gel picker), and a pair of Qspot 260 LED units (In 1.9) The venue's opinion is if it can't be controlled via SCR, it does not belong in a serious theater, and therefore the Element not knowing what to do with it is not a problem, because the venue is a serious theater and LEDs and intelligent lights are not part of serious theater. The Express 24/48 in storage is looking like a nicer and nicer option, since I know exactly what to expect from its ML section, and there bugs are all well known.
On the plus side, I did manage to raise enough of a stink last summer to get the venue mgmt to remove the load bearing 2x4s from inside the counterweight arbors (and that's all the detail I'll give publicly, less anyone think its a good idea and try to duplicate it).
