Hello,
I've searched the archive a little but haven't found an answer so far ..
Would it be possible to somehow copy or transfer a preset made on the computer to the lightdesk ? The lightdesk we'd be using is an Avab Congo.
thanks,

thanks,
can this console record dmx?
we looked at wysiwyg but didnt get anywhere
No, I don't think so. It runs on XP but there's an offline editor for os X.
They used this desk to drive the eurovision 2005 show, with 16 catalysts..
Should be possible to build an xml to dmx converter to convert a catalyst preset to a file which the congo can import. Supposedly the congo support is pretty good, they might be interested.

No XML as far as I can see, but am waiting for their response to my question in mail.
DMX in would be the most expedient way of doing it. After all the Hog 2 has been able to do this for donkey's years...
Isn't there an ESTA ASCII file import standard that's supported by AVAB desks?

ETC says :
Congo does not directly support XML files, because it is a completely
open standard and there are any number of possibilities for valid XML.
If Catalyst can export a USITT ASCII file containing this data then
Congo may be able to import it depending on the exact subset of USITT
ASCII chosen.
Otherwise, can you send me a copy of the XML file (and any associated
XML dtd or schema files) so I can figure out what data is there and if a
simple conversion utility will be possible?
these type of things are never simple.Quote:

The best way to communicate with a lighting console - would be using a language it implicitly has to understand - like DMX.
Clear. So a DMX input snapshot function of some sort on the desk would be a ++ i guess ..

I wish I could edit the presets in Excel or any Xml editor .Quote:
