PatchImporter

PatchImporter lets you import patch data from CSV or MVR files into your MA3 show. Create new fixtures or update existing ones using data from tools like WYSIWYG or gaffer spreadsheets. Perfect for syncing updates of 3D positions.

Overview

A plugin to help import patch information from a CSV document, often sent by a Gaffer or exported by software such as WYSIWYG or a partial MVR read. This plugin can modify existing fixtures to match the new information, or create new fixtures with the data provided.

Key Features

CSV Import

Select your CSV from the files list, select headers from your CSV to match up with the MA3 patch properties to import data. You can then create new fixtures from spreadsheet data, or amend current patch data with imported data.

MVR Import

Patch Importer allows you to partially import or update data from an MVR file, allowing you to merge multiple MVR files into one GMA3 show or make changes to your original MVR file and import only the changes to your existing show. This can be very useful if the positional data of the fixtures in the MVR has changed and you want to update the 3D positions of the fixtures within your showfile with this new data.

System Requirements

Once registered, PatchImporter works on Console, OnPC, and OnMac MA3 software.

This plugin requires a USB stick license key. Each purchase allows registration on up to 2 USB sticks.

Current version: V1.2.2.5. This version requires MA3 software V1.9.7.0 or higher.
