110 Hog 4 Operations Manual
How Hog 4 OS interprets Reaper Data
Regions are imported as cuelists and markers are imported as cues. Therefore,
markers contained within a region's timespan are interpreted as cues within a cuelist.
If no regions are found in the csv file exported from Reaper then all markers will be
imported into as a single cuelist which will be appended to the end of the list directory.
Markers are assigned cue numbers according to their relative timecode position within a
region; therefore, a marker's ID number has no correlation to the cue number it is
assigned during import.
Regions are assigned cuelist numbers according to their ID number in Reaper;
therefore, a Region's ID number in Reaper and the cuelist number it is assigned during
import are directly correlated.
The import will fail if reaper project contains regions that don't have markers. Be sure to
check that all the regions in the Reaper project have at least one marker within them.
Importing Reaper data will not modify, delete, or alter fixture programming data in the
show file. Importing Reaper data only adds/modifies non-look data such as cuelist and
cue names and associated timecode values.
Importing a Reaper region / marker CSV file into a show
1. List → Open : opens list directory window.
2. Press the Cu elist Import button located at the top of the list directory window.
3. Select the Region/Marker csv file previously exported from Reaper and press okay.
4. If the import is successful a dialogue box will appear confirming the import is complete.
Press okay.
5. If non-conforming data or errors are detected the import WILL NOT complete and an
error dialogue box will appear. Press the details button on the error to see more
information about the errors detected in the csv file. Make note of the errors mentioned
in the dialogue box, make the necessary adjustments in Reaper, re-export the
region/marker csv file from Reaper, and then re-attempt to import into Hog 4 OS.
4.12.4 Importing Cuelist Data from Inqscribe
Transcript data created using Inqscribe (a dedicated transcript notation application) can be
exported to a separate XML file which can be imported into Hog show files. Importing
Inqscribe data does not modify, delete, or alter any existing cuelists data or fixture
programming data in the show file. Importing Inqscribe data only results in a single new
cuelist being appended to the show that contains the data transcribed in the Inqscribe project.
Exporting Inqscribe transcripts to an XML file
1. Open the Inqscribe transcript settings window. Make sure the "inserted timecode
format" is set to one of the bracketed formats (if the timecode entries in the transcript
are not bracketed the import will not succeed).
2. Create a transcript in Inqscribe. Refer to How Hog 4 OS interprets Inqscribe Data for
help with creating a transcript that is compatible for Hog cuelist import.
3. Click on File, Export, and select XML.
4. Select an easy to access target destination such as the desktop or an external USB
flash drive and click export. A separate XML file will now be created in that location
which can be imported into Hog 4 OS using the import instructions provided in this
chapter.
