1.4 Loading and saving shows

You can save any number of different shows on a USB drive or the

Pearl’s internal hard disk. The Pearl will also autosave the show

periodically.

Note: You cannot transfer shows between the Pearl Expert Titan and

other versions of the Pearl or Pearl Expert as the showfile

format is different. You can load shows to/from other Titan

consoles such as the Tiger Touch.

1.4.1 Autosave

The Pearl will automatically save your show to its internal hard disk

when you shut it down. It will also autosave the show every 30

minutes in case the console loses power. The time remaining to the

next auto save is shown on the status bar of the Titan application.

You can disable Autosave or alter the time between saves using

option D [Auto Save] on the Disk menu (selected using the blue Disk

button). Softkey A enables or disables autosave and Softkey B sets

the time between saves. We recommend that you have autosave

enabled while programming in case the console power fails, but

disable it while running a show as it can cause the console to pause

slightly at inconvenient moments.

1.4.2 Manual save and load

You can save your show at any time either with its current name or

with a new name.

1> Press the blue Disk button (bottom right).

2> Press [Save Show].

3> If you have a USB drive connected, use the softkeys to select

whether to save on “Removable Disk” or the internal hard drive.

4> Enter a name for the show on the keyboard (the screen shows

a list of shows which already exist).

5> Press Enter or [Save]. The show will be saved.

6> Press Exit or [OK] to leave Disk mode.

If you save to hard drive, shows are saved in the C:/Program

Files/Avolites/Titan/ShowData folder, unless you change this in the

User Settings.

The Pearl will automatically load the last show when it is turned on.

If you want to load a different show:

1> Press the blue Disk button.

2> Press [Load Show].

3> If you have a USB drive connected, select which drive you want

to load from.

4> Available shows are listed on the softkeys; press the key to load

the show (the F and G keys show more pages). If you type the

first few letters of the show name on the Qwerty keyboard, the

list will only include shows starting with those letters, which can

make it easier to locate the show you want.
