Convert

The convert function is commonly used to convert a sequence file from one sequencer format to the format of another sequencer or to the format (.fseq) required to run via Falcon Player on a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black controller.

It is not to be used to convert into an xLights/Nutcracker sequence – use the Data Layer or Import, Import Effects options to achieve that.

Supported input formats are:

• xLights Sequence , *xseq
• LOR Musical Sequence , *.lms
• LOR Animation Sequence , *.las
• Vixen Sequence, *.vix
• Glediator Record file, *.gled
• Lynx Conductor, *seq
• HLS Sequences, *.hlsdata

Selected output formats are:

• Falcon Pi Player , *.fseq
• xLights Sequence , *xseq
• Lynx Conductor, *seq
• Vixen 2.1 sequence, *.vix
• Vixen 2.1 .vir routine file
• LOR sequence , *.las or *.lms
• Glediator Record file, *.gled
• LCB , LOR clipboard file
• HLS, *.hlnsc

Process

• Click on Choose Files, and on the subsequent window, change the file type to the type of file that you wish to convert and navigate to where your input file (ie LSP MSQ file, LOR LMS file etc) is located. Double click to select the file.
• Select the output Format to convert to.
• Specify whether all channels should be turned off at the end of the sequence. (Tick if unsure)
• Select the options specific to LOR conversion.
• Specify the time resolution i.e. (25ms, 50ms, 100ms). These correspond to (40 fps, 20 fps, and 10 fps respectively). Select 50ms if not sure.
• Click on Start Conversion.
• Conversion messages are displayed. If successfully converted, a file of the same name but with a different extension (i.e. as specified for the Output Format) will be created in your show directory.
