Hey y'all,
I have a show that was programmed on an Obsession II. Once the show closes its moving and the new venue has an ETCIon. Is there a way to transfer the show file from the Obsession II to the Ion or is it better to just reprogram it in the Ion? Thanks for your help!
IF the show is all or mostly conventionals, it's worth it to try converting the file. You need to use the Obsession Off-line program to generate an ASCII show file, then import that ASCII file into the Ion. This can all be done on a PC as long as you have one with a floppy drive (to read the Obsession disk).
If the show has a lot of moving lights, your time would be better spent reprogramming on the Ion. A fair amount of programming can be done ahead of time using the EOS Nomad application on a PC if you have track sheets or good paperwork with palettes/presets info.
