About Show in Express consoles
About Show provides you with information about the currently loaded show. It tells you how many channels and dimmers your show is configured for and your utilization of recordable entities such as cues, submasters, groups, focus points, macros and time code events. This is important because not enough memory is available to store the maximum number of all recordable entities at the same time.
Use About Show to monitor your memory usage as the complexity of your show increases. If you fill the available memory, reclaim some of it by clearing recorded entities that you are no longer using, for example by reducing how many channels and dimmers are patched.
