first show - reports

I have just work thru my first big premiere on the eos. Except the rather cruel update to v1.2, the eos worked fine in most aspects. Both the press and the artists are pretty satisfied.

But my LD would like some reports; what channels have we actually used, how many times, at what levels... Can we pick some channels out of the show to make our next show even better..? (we’re running repertoire; nearly 700 fixed dimmers, 20 heads, lots of scrollers, 4 panis, lots of non-dims, and a orchestra). And as a fresh-man in this complicated world (I’m just over 40), I can’t even give him a print of the channels we actually has used. I’ve got neither the printer drivers, nor the options in the console to do it. Is there a way to save all intensities in all cues into a group/preset/cue/snapshot/submaster/palette or whatever that I haven’t found? I can write them by hand, just to give the man a list of used numbers and get him off my shoulders.

  • The best way to get a list of used channels, is to use the [Show Channels] flexi format in live. Press the flexi key several times until "show channels" appears in blue in the upper right of your live display. This will the display all channels that are used in any cues. It does not include channels that are only included in subs, preset or palettes. Unfortunately in 1.2, there is no way to print this list either.

    We are adding report functionality to the printing functions in 1.3 but Anne can elaborate further on that.

    yes, but the "show channels" are taking any channel accidently saved anywhere in a cue @ 00 into consideration as well. I have to check every channel manually all the same, and maybe do some tidying...  ;)
  • Hi there..... first, many apologies about the difficulties upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2..... it was necessary for us to restructure some of the library data, and this meant we were going to end up with some show file compatibility issues between the two releases.  We tried to do this in a way that would impact as few people as possible, but I know that you all got caught in this.  

    I think what you are looking for are Utilization Reports.  Those will be added in 1.3, which will be released in November.   These reports can be generated as a .pdf, and will include:  Intensity Palette, Focus Palette, Color Palette, Beam Palette and Preset usage (which channels actually use the palette in a cue, which do not, how many cues the palette appears in, how many move instructions it has).  Additionally, the Channel Usage report will identify what channels are never used in any cues, and of the channels that are used, how many cues do they appear in and how many move instructions do they have.

    Will this help?  

    Regarding the printer drivers, can you contact our tech support office in London?  They can help you install your printer drivers. 

    Thanks so much.  And again, I'm very sorry about the compatbilty issues in 1.2.  

    Anne
