126 Eos Apex, Eos Ti, Gio, Gio @5, Ion Xe, Ion Xe 20, and Element 2 User Manual
Add parameters to the category by selecting an open encoder slot, and choosing a parameter
from the list to assign to it. You can also search for specific parameters.
To edit parameters that have already been assigned, select the parameter again and choose
from the following options:
Clear - removes the parameter assignment from the encoder slot, leaving it blank.
Delete - removes the parameter assignment from the encoder slot, moving all
subsequent parameters to the left
Insert Before - inserts a blank slot to the left of the selected parameter
Insert After - inserts a blank slot to the right of the selected parameter
Change Parameter - replaces the assigned parameter in that slot
Each parameter category can be given up to 25 pages of custom encoder layouts. If a
parameter category is not assigned any custom encoder layouts, the default Eos parameter
mapping for that category will be used instead.
Defaults
These parameter slots assign default parameters to each encoder in the specified parameter
category. Unless a specific parameter has been chosen for an encoder on a page, the assigned
defaults will track across encoder pages, indicated with the standard Eos tracking colors.If the
defaults are left unassigned, parameters must be assigned on each encoder page individually.
Widgets
Additional fixture control options can be assigned in the Widget column. As with parameters,
widgets can be assigned a default that tracks across all pages in a parameter category, or
assigned on a page-by-page basis.
Softkey Options
The following softkey options are available in the custom encoder maps editor:
{Filter To Users} - allows you to create a user-specific map
{Map To Fixture} - allows you to create a fixture-specific map
{Create From Fixture} - creates a map using the parameter layout of a specified fixture
profile
Custom Map Types
Custom encoder maps can be used in your show file in a variety of ways.
Default Map
A single custom encoder map can be assigned as the default encoder map for all devices in the
show file. When custom mode is enabled, this map will be used for all patched devices.
Assigning a map as the default can be done at the top of the custom encoder map editor, or in
Setup >User >Manual Control.
Note:
Default maps are specific to the current user number.
Fixture-Specific Maps
Custom encoder maps can also be created for specific device types, and will only appear when
devices of that type are selected.
Create a new map, and assign it to a device profile via {Map To Fixture}, or by selecting in the
Map To Fixture column. When fixtures with this profile are selected, the custom encoder map
will populate.
