Can I do this?

First off, I don't own a ION.  But I do have the offline software

 Can I use my offline software to create show files, until I get a ION?   --linked to second question--

Can I use my Capture Polar program to see the offline Ion?    like the smartsoft software

 If so, Can you please direct me to a page or let me know.

   Thank You

Off Ion topic.. Can I use Capture to do the same with expression offline for the Insight 3? if its possible from the above second question.

  • Joe,

     

    Welcome soon to the iON. It's really great!

     

    1. Yes, it's very simple to create offline show files and then save them to a flash drive and then open them on the console.

    2. This wiki link will assist you with outputting the offline software to visualizers like capture: http://community.etcconnect.com/wikis/products/knowledgebase-connecting-eos-ion-element-to-a-visualiser.aspx

    3.  Finally, to your last question, I'm not sure if you can do offline visualization on the expression as I don't believe it gives off EDMX, sACN, Art-Net, or Avab UDP network levels.

     

    Hope this helps!

  • Ok, i had gotten it to work for about 5 min, then it was flickering the lights like stated. I only had  BSR E1.31 but not ETCNET2. Now something went wrong and I lost it. Tried changing it to my wireless network, but nothing.

     Does it matter if I stop my network connection via firewall?

    And why does the ETCNET2 not connect?

     

    Also, I'm using 2 universes, 1 for theater lights and 1 for moving lights. On the Universe Tab on Capture, 2.1-512 (Movers) show nothing, only 1.1-512

    One last thing, When exiting the Capture program and it asks if I want to save changes, do I? And do I load that new saved file back up? Or do I need to change these settings every time I use the offline program?
