converting files from the obsession to the ion

Howdy JRB,

Yes you can convert your Obsession 1 files to Ion through the use of USITT ASCII Show File Translation, you will however need to go through Obsession 2 along the way.

To convert from Obsession 1 to Obsession 2, please follow the instructions found here: http://community.etcconnect.com/wikis/products/knowledgebase-how-to-convert-a-showfile-from-obsession-to-obsession-ii.aspx

After you have the file in Obsession 2 format, you can use Obsession 2 Offline (found here: http://www.etcconnect.com/product.software.signin.aspx?docID=22496&ID=20187) to export the show file to USITT ASCII format.

From the ASCII format, you can use the import feature on Ion to read that file into memory and save it as an Ion showfile.

If you do not have an Obsession 2 processor available to you, contact the nearest ETC Technical Support and we can help with the file conversion.
