Q Light Controller+

would be nice to have USITT Ascii import/export for QLC+. There are lot of lighting desks which supports it. It could be used as a interchange format.

Interesting. Can you point me to any spec that I can read ?

Posted: **Sun Dec 30, 2012 7:07 pm**

there should be a spec on the USITT site, but the link is not working at the moment. I wrote a mail to the USITT.

thats the link:
http://ww4.usitt.org/bookstore/download ... otocol.pdf

Some infos could be found here:

http://www.blue-room.org.uk/wiki/Americ ... nterchange

Maybe I can find a copy on my old computer.

Here's a short commented sample file:

Thanks offtools. Seems like a huge implementation to do though

I second this idea. It would be a very useful addition to the open source flexibility of QLC+. It is a standard that now comes included with many of the main consoles out there.

For example:
LD comes to design show in the theatre, uses the house console to program it. Show then has to go on tour and could better spend the money of renting a console if one could export the show file from the console into QLC+ and tour it on a laptop - winning plus is that it makes it easier to network others show aspects (audio/video) to the GO button.

I have seen some friends use it successfully with a touring dance piece and Claude Heintz's Lx console (free),

http://lx.claudeheintzdesign.com/lxconsole.html

He's got some other tools that talk about the ASCII conversion and edits them, so that you could edit/copy/paste cue sections from other places into one show, somewhat quicker.

At least if it could help me with the transferring of cue numbers, notes and levels, that would be huge.

Please let me know if I could help. My programming skills are weak, but I could help in terms of testing it out.

Cheers,

Wlad

Hi, do you have any real example to provide so I can have a look ?
Not a promise though. As far as I remember, the USITT syntax is quite far from the QLC+ way of saving a console.

Sorry to reply to an old thread, but I think this topic is still valid.

Attached is an actual example of USITT ASCII, the TEXT is written in Japanese, but it is a scene name.

ASCII is a standard that has been around since before moving light came along, so if you want to implement it in QLC+, I think it will make sense if you target Dimmer only and convert SUB on ASCII to scene on QLC+.
