Buttons like {Next} and {Last} are used to step through ranges (such as colors in a color
scroller) one step at a time. {Min} and {Max} allow you to send a parameter to its minimum or
maximum limit with one press.
Modes allows you to switch between modes of a parameter (if any exist); for example, a
rotating gobo wheel. If additional modes are available, their softkeys will display at the top of
the encoder controls display.
Encoders can be switched from course mode into fine by holding down [Shift] while using an
encoder will put it in fine mode for as long as [Shift] is held down. Once [Shift] is released, the
encoder will return to course mode.
Press {Expand} to see all of the information about any device with a frame table. Press again to
collapse to the normal view. You may make selections from the Expand screen. The
colors/images in the device are established in patch (see
Using the Scroller/Wheel Picker and
Editor (on page171)
).
{XYZFormat Enable / Disable} toggles between storing position data in pan / tilt format, and
XYZformat for use with Augment3d.
Mini Encoder Display
On Gio, Gio @ 5, Ion Xe, or ETCnomad using a Programming Wing, information on what the
encoders are currently controlling can always be found in the mini encoder status display, even
when the
Encoder Controls Display (on the previous page)
is closed. This display is found
above the softkeys in the CIA.
Use the Parameter Category hardkeys to choose which parameters are currently available on
the encoders.
Some fixtures have more parameters than can be displayed on one encoder page. The number
of. pages for each category is displayed at the bottom of the Parameter Category softkey. To
view the other pages, simply press the button to advance the pages or hold the button and
press a number key to go directly to the page you want to access.
Encoder Navigation
Use the encoder page buttons (located to the left of the encoder LCD) to choose which
parameters are currently available on the encoders. There are five usable buttons: Color,
Custom, Shutter, Image, and Form. Pressing any of these will change the parameters
controlled.
Some fixtures have more parameters than can be displayed on one encoder page. The number
of pages for each category is displayed at the top of the encoder touchscreen. To view the
other pages, simply press the [Color], [Custom], [Shutter], [Image], or [Form] button to
advance the pages or press the button with a number key to go directly to the page you want
to access.
Encoders can be switched from course mode into fine by holding down [Shift] while using an
encoder will put it in fine mode for as long as [Shift] is held down. Once [Shift] is released, the
encoder will return to course mode.
