Partial Patch Merging
You have the option to selectively merge partial patch information or fixtures into a show file by
selecting the {Advanced} button in the partial show merge screen. Select {Patch} or {Fixtures}.
You can specify the desired range by selecting the proper area in the table and entering numbers
from the keypad. The columns in the table that relate to patch are:
Start - The first in a range of components.
End - The last in a range of components.
Target - The desired location of the components in the new show file (for ranges, this will be
the location in the new show of the first component in the range, the others will follow in
order).
Partial Show File Channel Merge
When Merge Channels is selected, channels from cues, submasters, groups, and other channel tar-
gets will be added to any existing channel targets of that same type.
With Merge Channels not selected, those channels will override any existing channels in the channel
targets of the same type.
For Example:
In a show file 1, group 1 has channels 1 through 5. In show file 2, group 1 had channels 6
through 10. With Merge Channels and Groups selected for the merge, show file 2's group 1
will merge with show file 1's group 1. Group 1 will then have channels 1 through 10. If
Merge Channels was not selected, group 1 would just have channels 6 through 10.
Note: It is important to remember that if the same channels exist in both show files, the
data merging in will override the existing data for those channels.
Printing a Show File
Eos provides you with the ability to save a show file or aspects from a show file to a PDF file for print-
ing. Eos has three locations to save the PDF files including the Show File Archive, the File Server (if
connected), or a USB device (if connected). Saving the PDF file to a USB (F:) device, allows you to
then print the PDF from a personal computer. Printing directly from Eos is not supported.
