ProSceniumDMX performs an automatic backup save of all the changes done to the show. This guarantees that the latest profile of the show is saved if the PC is shut down without saving.
In addition to this, a show may be saved into a disk file at any time. Show files are always saved using the USITT ASCII format (version 3.0) allowing any text editor (like the editor provided by ProSceniumDMX and invoked by the icon) to be used to edit a show off-line directly in the ProSceniumDMX save format.

New

This function performs a complete reset of all ProSceniumDMX variables.
Since all present show data is lost, the user is asked for confirmation of the wipe-out action.
If confirmed, a full reset is performed including Cues, Groups, Channel Attributes and so on.

Open



This function allows a previously saved show be opened. The file type is automatically assumed to be ".ASC" by ProSceniumDMX.

Opening a new file will cause the previous ProSceniumDMX data be lost.

The current ProSceniumDMX show should be saved into a file before opening a new show if the present data is required. To prevent accidental loss of data, ProSceniumDMX performs a temporary save in the BACKUP.DMX that can be manually recovered and saved into a show file if still valid.

Save



This function saves the show in the file previously defined for it. If no file name has been specified yet, the next function is automatically activated.

Save As

This function allows a show to be saved into a file. During the operation, all vital ProSceniumDMX data is copied including cues, channel text, patch, curves and so on.
The program will prompt for a filename and the suffix will be automatically set to ".ASC" to serve as a mnemonic designator of the USITT-ASCII format.
If a file with the same name is already present, the user is asked for confirmation before overwriting.

Printer Setup

This function performs printer selection exactly the same as the Windows Printer Selection.

Print



This function prints all show data (with the exception of the light plan that is printed directly from the light plan window).

Export

This function exports show files in a format compatible with ADB Vision 10 lighting control console and to all Strand desks (to be converted with the Strand ShowPort software)

Import

This function imports show files from ADB Vision 10 lighting control console. In order to do this the memories.asc used by ADB to save shows should be located in the user default directory on the Vision machine.
Data from Strand desks may also be imported (once the Strand files are converted with the Strand ShowPort software)

Exit

This function exits from ProSceniumDMX leaving the last active scene loaded in the DMX interface hardware.

This allows you to restart ProSceniumDMX without visible scene changes.

When restarting, ProSceniumDMX reloads the last active scene automatically and plays it back on board.
