5 - 10 MicroVision FX
Disk management
MicroVision FX’s disk drive lets you save up to five shows per standard
3.5-inch computer disk. This allows you to work on more than one show
at a time or to use more than 200 cues for your production by loading a
second show into memory after the first 200 cues.
We recommend that you make a backup copy of each show on separate
disks and keep them in different locations. If your show disk were
damaged, a backup disk stored at home could save you hours of work.
MicroVision FX clears fader pairs when you read a show from disk into
the console.
Before you can use a disk in MicroVision FX , you must format it on the
console. Formatting instructions are on page 5 - 12.
Note: MicroVision and MicroVision FX disks are fully interchangeable.
MicroVision FX and Vision disks, are somewhat interchangeable, but you
cannot record MicroVision FX shows on disks formatted in a Vision, nor
can you record a Vision show on a disk formatted for a MicroVision FX
console.
MicroVision FX cannot read disks recorded on ETC Expression, Impres-
sion, Concept or Insight consoles. Likewise, those consoles cannot read
a disk recorded on a MicroVision FX console.
MicroVision FX can read disks recorded using ETCEDIT.
