Kaleidoscope to Krystal Effect Translator
1. If you are converting Kaleidoscope effects to run on a single channel
Krystal system, select the Single Channel Krystal option. Otherwise,
leave this setting unselected. See page 7 for more information about
this option.
2. Use the left mouse button to select the Convert button and start the file
translation. The start of each conversion is indicated by the transfer
description in the action display window.
Example: Effect.023 -> Effect.K23
3. A pop-up window indicates when the conversions are complete. The
converted Kaleidoscope files can now be used in a Krystal system.
Same Disk Source and Destination
If the Source and Destination use the same disk drive, the system will ask
whether the new converted files should be placed on the same disk or if a
disk swap is required.
Disk Swap For Multiple Files
If a disk swap is needed and multiple files have been selected, all files are
converted to temporary files on the C: drive and then the disk swap is
requested. After the swap, all temporary files are copied to the destination
drive using the correct file name, and then the temporary files are deleted
from the C: drive.
Conversion Notes
Single Channel Krystal Option
The Single Channel Krystal setting makes the translator program place the
Kaleidoscope background information in the appropriate channel.
When Single Channel Krystal is selected, the Kaleidoscope background
information goes into Krystal Channel 1 (same as Kaleidoscope). When not
selected the Kaleidoscope background information goes into the Krystal
Camera channel.
