QLC DMX show recording

[Picki]

Is it possible that QLC record a full DMX show from a DMX console into a chaser oder a show in QLC? Because i have a Stairville DR-1 DMX Recorder with many Shows and i want to switch to QLC+.

I'm not sure if there is an existing way to do this or not, perhaps someone else knows, but if the device stores the shows as files on a SD card perhaps you could post one or more of the files so someone can have a look at them? It might be possible to figure out the layout of the files and make some kind of converter.

It would be useful to record a simple show, something like the following with a few seconds gap between each step:

All channels to 0
Start recording
Channel 1 to 128
Channel 1 to 255
Channel 2 to 128
Channel 2 to 255
All channels to 255
Stop recording

It might be fairly simple to convert, it might be difficult, it all depends on their file format.

or ...
in QLC+ have a setup in universe 2 that listens to what comes in.
(You'll need a DMX adaptor with an input)
And if you can play cue by cue from your recorder - you could dump dmx values from universe 2 into cue's in QLC+.

Now or you could convert universe 2 to 1 f.i. by text-editing the showfile (take a backup first)
or you could patch fixtures into universe 2... and use it now as an output.

thanks for the help, i will look for the files on the sd-card. i run automatic so that i have problems with cues.
