Eos/Ion to Insight

Hello All,

I am looking to transfer a showfile from EOS/ION into Insight world.  I know I have to export the ascii file and understand that multi parameter fixtures will not transfer.  For the most part I am ok with this as we are not bringing any of our moving lights along with us.

However, I would like to try to preserve my LEDs.  In my file I have 6 RGB LEDs patched in channel 201 thru 206.  I was thinking I could try to preserve the data in them by splitting them up and making channels 301 thru 306 red, 311 thru 316 green, and 321 thru 326 blue.

However when I go into blind to copy the data I have no luck.  My thoughts were: Cue 1 thru 356 chan 201 thru 206 red copy to 301 thru 306.  Alas, no luck.

Can anyone lend insight on copying parameter data into intensity data?

  • Unfortunately, the only way I can think of to do it is manually entering the intensity data while looking at each color in spreadsheet.  Boring, I know.

    Be careful, however:  Your LED fixtures on the Ion probably used an intensity channel as well... this may have been a feature of the LED unit, or a "virtual" intensity channel created by the board.  If it was a virtual channel, you'll have to factor that into your conversion.  For example:

    On the Ion, you might have a color that is R100, G100, B50 with the intensity set to 50%.  On an Insight (without an intensity channel), that would read: R50, G50, B25.

    Sorry I can't be of more help.
