516 Eos Family Operations Manual
sACN Input
Eos Family consoles can receive streaming ACN (sACN) level information from itself and other
devices on the lighting control network. Similar to Analog Inputs, these received sACN input levels
can then be used by the Event List display to execute certain actions.
sACN allows for multiple sources to be present on the network. These sources (configured at the
transmitting device) are each given a priority. The valid priority range is 1 (lowest) to 200 (highest)
with 100 as the default. When determining the winning level for an address, the level with the
highest priority will be used. If the sources have the same priority, the highest level will be used (also
known as Highest-Takes-Precedence, or HTP).
sACN Inputs can be assigned to events. These events can run a cue, control a submaster, or fire a
macro. Submasters can be turned On, Off, trigger the Bump button, or control the fader. See
Actions (on page513).
With the exception of a submaster fader and bump, sACN Input will fire an event when the level rises
above 50% (DMX 127). It does not fire again when the level drops below 50% (DMX 127). It only
fires again when the level drops below 50% and then rises above 50%.
Submaster bump will act as if the bump button was pressed when the level rises above 50% (DMX
127), and acts as if the bump button was released when the level drops below 50%.
