    Question Exporting from LDS

    Hi guys

    Does any of you know if there is a way to export or convert shows from LDS realtime to ilda or other formats ?

    I have an LDS2007 system that i want to sell, but first i would like to be able to use the shows i have bought/made with LDS on my pango..

    Thanks in advance !

    Regards, Simon

    ILDA export is not possible from LDS (not wanted by author).
    You can only import ILDA.

    The feature mentioned there is limited to 1000 frames and works rather bad.
    For full export features you need a special non-public RealTime.exe from the author.

    I see, good info it appears you are the LDS expert

    Apparently Guido has a good Idea for export:

    "So it is easy to build a DLL which is able to store the whole Output
    in an ILDA Frame or prog other fake-DLL´s. "

    Hi Guys

    Thanks for the replies and suggestions (also on PM)

    As suggested, there is a variable in geobas.ini, that makes the card output everything you display to an .ild file.. i have tried this a few times, and it sorta works, however everything comes out red in the ilda file, no other colors, no fades, no nothing, just red... but most of the effects are there..

    Anyone know what causes this - or is the ilda export function simply not better ?

    Thanks !

    Regards, Simon

    ILDA output by means of geobas has been difficult. First, Lennart programmed a version that output the latest ILD file version with real colors, but that was incompatible with most other equipment that is still using the old standard with palettes. So output was converted to old style .ILD files with only one color. Works fine now and is compatible with all OLD ilda standard...

    So does that mean that in order to export my shows to ilda with full color, i need to upgrade the LDS software to the 2009 version (i have 2007 now)?

    Thanks !
