Good evening everyone,
I apologize in advance if this topic has already been discussed, but I have not been able to find anything similar online.
I have been using a Stairville LED Commander 16/2 in the theater for many years and I have saved dozens and dozens of shows on various USB sticks.
I have recently started to approach the fantastic world of QLC+ and I would like to understand if there is a way to import some shows (scenes and/or chases) directly from the .PRO files that I have on the various USB sticks generated by the export of the LED Commander 16/2.
Thanks for the support.

Hi everyone, it's me again.
In these days I tried to investigate the problem, even contacting Thomann who manages the Stairville brand. Unfortunately the .PRO files generated by the LED Commander 16/2 are encrypted and, consequently, impossible to read, interpret etc. Although this seems absurd to me, because we are not talking about bank details but simple DMX values, in any case it is like this.
The only method I see possible is to use a DMX-USB interface to dump the light mixer scene by scene. However I have not tried it yet because my interface only supports USB-DMX and not vice versa.
I hope this message can help someone with my same problem.
Ciao!

Unfortunately that's the sadness of close source world.
They hide as many things as possible from you (even though you have paid for them) to keep you tied to them.
And you when you need one bit from them they don't reply or the answer is "we can't do that".
My best suggestion is find someone who can lend you a ENTTEC PRO or equivalent interface with XLR input and dump all the Scenes one by one.
If you're around the Milan area maybe I can help you.

Unfortunately I am on the opposite side of Italy, precisely in Sicily, in Catania. Thank you very much for your availability!mcallegari wrote: ↑Fri Mar 14, 2025 10:44 am Unfortunately that's the sadness of close source world.
