Loading show files from ColorSource Console to EchoTouch and Vice-Versa

Issue

Are ColorSource Console files and EchoTouch files compatible on the opposite hardware? 

What happens if I load a ColorSource Console show file to an EchoTouch Controller?

What happens if I load an EchoTouch Controller show file to a ColorSource Console?

Answer

Despite the fact that both files use the same format and the software on both devices is very similar, the show files are not cross-compatible. The software will load the file from either hardware, but the information does not properly translate.  This could lead to errors in the zone mapping, patch, settings, or any other part of the show file.
