V4.0 and Older Software
There is full backward and forward compatibility between Shows saved on Version 4.0 consoles and older
version consoles.
Shows saved on V2.x software can be loaded into a V4.7 console.
Shows saved on a V4.7 console can be loaded into a desk running V2.x software (without any
of the features such as snapshot scope, partial isolation and events that were not present in the
V2.x software).
This is achieved by converting the old Shows to V4.7 format when they are loaded on the V4.7 desk, and
also saving the Show and Snapshot les in both old and new sessions when a Show is saved on V4.7.
Note: there is a maximum limit of 100 Cues when importing a V2.X Show into a V4.7 desk. If
you have an existing Show with more than 100 Cues that you need to load onto a V4.7 desk,
contact Soundcraft for advice about splitting the Show into two or more Shows, importing them
separately, exporting them and re-combining them on an external laptop.
