I spent a good amount of time today attempting to get a
Vectorworks plot and Lightwright
hookup into .pdf format (successful) and thence onto Adobe for Palm (not successful), giving credit to Josh for the thought.
I regularly create Adobe from VW and LW documents, but could not read the
image once sent to the Treo (600). The "
image" portion is way to small, VW
plot especially, and there seems to be no way to
zoom in on the Treo. I've played a
bit with attempting to make the transferred
image from VW into Adobe a much larger file/
image, no luck. The LW Print to Adobe is fixed at 54k at any rate, at transfer.
Any thoughts appreciated.
As a comment on the original post, the only PDA/
DOS’s that interface directly with a
console are
ETC/Emphasis,
Strand and MA/GrandMA systems (that I'm aware of). Other systems are out there - Palm and Windows Pocket PC (or whatever they're calling it now) that transmit
DMX, but it's a different
channel setup from what's on the
console - being straight
DMX channels. Not as functional,
IMO.
The
ETC,
Strand and MA units are Compaq/HP
etc.. running Pocket PC with a WiFi connection. The battery life is sometimes not as much as desired for a full day's work with the HH.
