Managing Show Files 77
You can specify the desired range by selecting the proper area in the table and entering numbers
from the keypad. The columns in the table that relate to patch are:
• Start - The first in a range of components.
• End - The last in a range of components.
• Target - The desired location of the components in the new show file (for ranges, this
will be the location in the new show of the first component in the range, the others will
follow in order).
Merging Show Files
Eos supports the merging of .esf show files.
You have the option of merging .esf show files from the Show File Archive, a File Server (if
connected), or a USB device.
To merge a show file, navigate within the Browser to: File> Merge>. Navigate to the desired
storage location and press [Select]. When using merge, Eos displays only the available files.
Navigate to the specific file and press [Select].
This will open the merge screen in the CIA. From this screen you can choose which aspects of the
show file you want to merge. By default all aspects are unselected (black). Selected show aspects
will appear in gray.
If you select the {Advanced} button in the merge show loading screen, you will have the
opportunity to load partial components from the show file and be able to specify the desired location
of those partial components in the current show file.
For example, you could specify only cues 5-10 from cue list 8 and load them as cues 20-25 in cue
list 7 in the current show. You could also specify only specific palettes, presets, effects, and so on.
To see the complete list of show components, press the {Advanced} key in the merge show
loading screen.
As you specify components, they are added to a table in the CIA. In the table, fields with a dark
background may be edited, fields with a light gray background do not apply to that component. For
N o t e : It is important to remember that on a partial patch open, if any record targets are
not opened, any existing data of that type will be cleared from the console. To
keep that data, merge should be used.
N o t e : Merging show files is different from opening show files. When you do a partial
open of show components, untouched record targets are cleared. When you do a
merge, those record targets remain.
