Version 2.1

To load a show file:

  1. Open the Backup menu and tap Load.
  2. Select a show file and tap Load.
Load overlay in the Backup menu with the four checkbox buttons on the right side.

To load a show via the command line, use the LoadShow keyword.

 

Load Show Segments

The following checkbox buttons define which segments of a show file are loaded:

  • Show Data: Loads the show-relevant data from the show file. This includes the patch, pool objects, user, and user profiles. Show Data is enabled by default.
  • Local Settings: Loads the local settings. For example, this includes web remote settings and onPC settings.
  • Output Stations: Includes the setup of all DMX ports, the SMPTE settings, and the MIDI settings.
  • DMX Protocols: Loads the configuration of all available DMX protocols (Art-Net and sACN).
  • Check All is a fast selection for all checkboxes.
  • Load: The show file will be loaded.
Hint:
If no checkbox button is enabled, Load is disabled. 
Hint:
The data of the currently loaded show file will be kept for the segments, where the checkbox buttons are not enabled. 
Important:
The show file needs to be saved first with grandMA3 v1.9 or higher. Show files that were saved with grandMA3 v1.8.8.2 or prior do not contain Local Settings, Output Configuration, and DMX Protocols saved inside.
