Loading show files
Spark
10-4
Shows that were recorded on Spark can be loaded to Spark 4D. Only memories are loaded.
Snaps, Macros, and Events (Auto Assignments) are ignored. Also, device definitions
compatible with Spark 4D must be loaded separately.
Warning Difference
If the show file was recorded under a system configuration different than the current one,
the WARNING DIFFERENCE window is displayed when you attempt to load the show.
The WARNING DIFFERENCE window displays the current system and the show file. A
list of all the tables (Scroller Table, Channel Patch, Spot Patch, Mix Output Patch, and
Input Patch) is also displayed. The Patch tables are affected when loading under Warning
Difference. You can choose how to handle loading the Patch tables, see below.
As a rule of thumb, if the item is larger in the show data than it is in the current system
configuration, then clear and don't load are the choices. If the item is larger in the
current system configuration than the on the disk then merge and don't load are the
options.

Load
None of the information contained in the show file pertaining to the specific
patch table is loaded. Example: the configuration in the show files is 512
channels. The current system configuration is 420 channels. No information
from the Channel Patch is loaded. The default Channel Patch will be present
after the load is complete.
Clear When the configuration recorded in the show file is larger than the Spark’s
current configuration, the extraneous data is cleared. Example: the
configuration in the show files is 512 channels. The current system
configuration is 420 channels. All channels and related soft patch greater than
420 channels is not loaded.
Merge When the configuration recorded in the show file is smaller than the Spark’s
current configuration, the data contained in the show file is merged into the
current configuration. Example: the configuration in the show files is 376
channels. The current system configuration is 420 channels. All channels and
related soft patch up to channel 420 is loaded.

Note
It is always expedient to load The System Configuration (see appendix A Service Tools -
Disk Operations) before loading show files and avoid loading under WARNING
DIFFERENCE, as differences in the toggles in Special Functions and the entries in
Special Numbers also influence the console’s function.
