34 Eos Family Operations Manual
Note: Eos does not have a desk lamp control knob.
Desk lamp controls are found in Setup> Desk> Brightness Settings>Light Levels. The {DeskLamp}
slider has a range of 0% (dimmest) to 100% (brightest). The default setting is 0%. The console will
set the desk lamp to this setting on startup of the application. See Brightness Settings (on page167)
The desk lamps can also be controlled by holding down [Displays] and rolling the level wheel.
Outputting DMX
In order to output control levels from your console, you can use the DMX ports on the back of the
console and/or you may connect a Net3 gateway or Net2 Node. If your device receives Net3 or
ETCNet2 directly, no gateway or node is required.
Note: In order to output levels from your Eos console, you must connect a Net3 gateway
or Net2 node. If your device receives Net3 or ETCNet2 directly, no gateway or node is
required.
Eos Ti, Gio, Gio @ 5, Ion Xe, and Element 2 have DMX ports. To output, connect one 5 pin XLR cable
per port. The first port will default to outputting the first universe of DMX, addresses 1-512, the
second port to the second universe, outputting addresses 513-1024, the third port to the third uni-
verse, outputting addresses 1025-1536, and the fourth port to the fourth universe, outputting
addresses 1537-2048. Configuring the DMX ports to something other than the defaults is done in
ECU>Local I/O>Local DMX Outputs.
See Local DMX Outputs (on page489) for information on reconfiguring the DMX ports.
Gateways will function with your console out of the box without previous configuration. However if
custom configuration is required, you will need to use Net3 Concert or GCE (Gateway Configuration
Editor). Concert is installed by default and can be accessed in ECU>Settings>Maintenance>Net3
Concert. Concert is available for download from our website, www.etcconnect.com. GCE software
can also be downloaded from the ETC website.
For more information on Net3 gateways, see the product literature that accompanied the hardware
or download it from our website, www.etcconnect.com.
Cleaning Your Console
Should the exterior of your console require cleaning, you may gently wipe it with a dampened (not
dripping), non-abrasive paper towel or soft cloth.
If this does not clean the console sufficiently, you may apply some window cleaner (containing
ammonia is fine) to the cloth and repeat the process until clean.
