vlc safari vs Congo

Hi Dan -

Regarding the default patch - I would recommend that you create a default playto start from each time rather than using the New play function.  You could do this by deleting all the other data in your play and saving that as your new base, or by importing the patch from a known "good" play into a new file. If you go the Import route, please remember to import your Templates first, then the Patch. Alternatively, you could send me a known good play and I can strip out all the extra bits for you and send it back as we do not currently have a way to delete more than one preset/sequence/group at a time.

Taking data from one console to another is always an interesting thing. Using the ASCII file format that Congo uses is a path you can use. I cannot speak directly to how a Congo play will transfer to another console via ASCII, but if you or your client has a play he'd like us to look at for transfer to Emphasis, please send it along.

Print functionality will be improved in a future version of software, though I cannot comment on how soon that will be.

The Offline Editor is the Congo software, so there is nothing to separate. If you have the file available to install in your Congo, you can use the exact same installer on your PC to install the Congo Offline Editor. I'm not sure what's going on in your case, but it appears that the zip file is being corrupted when you download it. In the mean time, I will check with our Web master to see if anything strange has happened to that file at our end. Or are you trying to download/install the Mac version? Please let me know...

Thanks -

Thanks for the info.  Another question.  In Safari, you could make dimmers active while patching, so that you could insure that you were patching the right lights.Is there a way to do this while in output editor or output list?

In Congo, when you have selected channel(s) or output(s) in the Output Editor, you can set levels with @Level or the level wheel.

If you use +/- on outputs, the level you have set will move to the new output (like Check mode).

You can select a range of outputs (like a dimmer rack) with # OUTPUT # THRU. Then you can use Next/Last to highlight one of these at a time to identify it and patch it before you step to the next.

I hope this solves your problem.
