LSS 4Exporting to SD Card
LSS4 contains powerful export features that allow you to save standalone animations to the SD card of LEC3, SPI Matrix or Reactivo 2 devices. You can export individual scenes or entire shows to the SD card. If you want to export to a device’s SD card, the device must be added and configured to Mapping. The software will automatically export only the content belonging to a certain device.
Export to SD card in Tools menu
After clicking the Export button, a window will appear. From there, you can select the scenes and shows that you want to export to your SD card.
Export to SD card window
The SD card of LEC3, SPI Matrix or Reactivo 2 devices contains up to 255 different animation slots. Each slot can contain a simple animation or even an entire show.
The left side of the Export window contains Banks and Shows, which display all of your scenes and shows in the workspace. To assign a certain scene or show to an SD card slot, simply drag and drop it to the SD card position on the right. Again, you can assign scene but also entire show to every SD card slot.
