The Creation Process

The Project

The creation of a Project (.pyr) is the first step to design a show.

The Project contains:
Two files for the appearance and display of the Grid and Tool bars.

• (.GRX) The Grid Preferences set for field colors, fonts, column display and position,
• (.ATB) The Toolbars settings for their display or not and position in the window

These files are created automatically when the project is saved according to the configuration that the user has made.
The files can be renamed in another project with the new project name and this will adopt the configuration that they contain.

The Project contains and associates a group of files necessary to display a show: The following files must be created or selected in this order to use the software.

• Wave File (.WAV)
  Contains the music of the show to synchronize with cues.
• Script Manager (.SCX)
  Contains the Cues and associated Effects characteristics, Positions, Worlds, Firing addresses.
• Visual Script (.CHR)
  Contains a exported version of the Script used by the Viewer to run the simulation of the show.
• Effects Manager (.EFX)
  Contains the Effects with all the parameters necessary to be inserted in the cues of the Script Manager.
• Position File (.POS)
  Contains the Site positions. Created with the 3D Position Editor application.
• Library (.LIB)
  Contains the Library of effects. Created with the FX Generator application.

The Project can also contain optional files not necessary to display a show but useful for the operation of the Script Manager and Effects Manager:

• Script Filters (.SFR)
  Contains a table of custom filters set by the user, to filter the Script in different ways and to split the Script into various down-loadable tables to the Field Controller, and to Export the cues according to the Filter selected.
• Script Sorts (.SSR)
  Contains a table of custom Sorts set by the user, to sort the Script in different ways.
• Effects Filters (.EFR)
  Contains a table of custom filters set by the user, to filter the Effects Manager in different ways.
• Effects Sorts (.ESR)
  Contains a table of custom sorts set by the user, to sort the Effects Manager in different ways and to Export the cues according to the Filter selected.

Script and Effects Filters and Sorts can be associated in the Script or Effect View tool bar to create a view that combines a filtered Script Manager or Effect Manager sorted in a specific way.
