180 Eos Family Operations Manual

This allows you to correctly focus a fixture that may be at the end of its pan or tilt range or to correct

a fade that may be moving in an undesired direction.

The following example illustrates the use of {Flip}:

[channel list] {Flip}

Trackball On/Off

The {Trackball On/Off}, as displayed in the Pan/Tilt section of the encoder LCD, is used to give pan

and tilt functionality to a mouse or trackball device.When this function is turned on, above the CIA

will be a message saying “Cursor as Pan/Tilt”.

Form Control

Form (a subcategory of Beam) collects the parameters that affect the quality of the beam, including

the iris, edge, frost, etc. ‘Shutter’ and ‘Image’ are the other two subcategories of Beam

When the form encoder page button is selected, the LED will illuminate and the encoders auto-

matically populate with the “Form” parameters as specified in the show patch. If there are more para-

meters in the show patch than will fit on the first page of the encoders, press the [Form] button

again to page through the remaining parameters in the category or press [Form] and a page number

to jump to a specific page.

The form parameters may include:

Edge- controls the hard/soft qualities of a spot luminaire. While some fixtures may call this

parameter “focus”, it is always represented as “edge” in Eos, to avoid confusion with

“Focus” which refers to pan and tilt data. These values are set to the system default value for

the selected luminaire, but may be modified as required on a per fixture basis

Iris, Zoom, Strobeand IMF- each parameter has in/out, narrow/wide, or fast/slow settings. Iris

and Zoom also have programmable limits, called in/out and narrow/wide respectively. The

strobe mode setting varies based on the fixture type.

Image Control

Image is the collection of parameters that affect the contents of the beam (gobo, prism, effects

wheel, etc.).

Shutter Control

Pressing the [Shutter] button displays shutter controls, if there are any fixtures with framing devices

patched.

Note: For Ion, ETCnomad, RPU, and RVI, the encoder display can be accessed by using

CTRL + ALT+\on an alphanumeric keyboard. ALT+,can be used to change encoder pages.
