Apple has recently released Mac OS X Sierra (10.12). Moving Light Assistant v1.2 has an issue due to changes Apple have made in this release. Canon and Image Capture camera control do not work. If you are currently using either of these camera control setups, we recommend you do not upgrade your Mac OS X version to Sierra. We are working on a fix, and will release a new version once it has been solved. So far, other than the camera control issue, no other major issues have been discovered. Please do report any issues you find so that they can be addressed.

Moving Light Assistant v1.2 has now been released and is available for download from the Download page.

The new features include…

• Reconciliation between Preset Documentation data and console data. This makes it easier to add only new presets (and also only if theyare actually used), add channels added to a existing preset, show or remove deleted channels or presets and also indicate if a channel or preset is actually used.
• Preset Documentation Priorities. Presets can now be assigned a priority. It is then possible to sort and filter by priority.
• Scripting. Scripting allows users to write scripts to automate actions and access data within MLA.
• Console Communication. It is possible to send and receive commands to and from grandMA 2 and EOS Family consoles (EOS v2.3 onwards).
• PRG’s Vx76 Console support. It is possible to import the XML data (Patch, Presets, Palettes, Cues, Groups) exported from the Vx76 range of consoles.
• MLA Show Document import. It is now possible to import certain blocks of data from another MLA show document.
• Rig Data Item Counting – Rig Data items can be counted and saved as a text file. Useful for getting fixture type counts.
• Latest Canon drivers for DSLR cameras.
