Clear Show Segments

  1. To define which segments of the current show file should be cleared for the new show, use the four checkbox buttons on the right side:
  • Clear Show Data: Clears the show-relevant data from the show file. Includes the patch, pool objects, user, and user profiles. This checkbox is marked as default.
  • Clear Local Settings: Clears the local settings. For example, this includes web remote settings and onPC settings.
  • Clear Output Stations: Clears the setup of all DMX ports, the SMPTE settings, and the MIDI settings.
  • Clear DMX Protocols: Clears the configuration of all available DMX protocols (Art-Net and sACN).
  1. Selected data will be cleared after tapping New Show.
  • Check All is a fast selection for all checkboxes.
  • The data of the currently loaded show file will be kept for the segments, where the checkbox buttons are not enabled.
Hint:
Make sure to at least select one checkbox button to enable New Show.
