Manual Control 233
Note: Pressing [Shift] & [Encoder Page Key] will post that parameter to the
command line. For example, pressing [Shift] & [Color] would place Color on the
command line.
Encoder Display
On Eos and Eos Ti, the encoder display LCD to the left of the encoders indicates the
parameters they control and provides additional information about the current status of those
parameters. For more information, see Encoder Display on Eos and Eos Ti (on page121)
On Gio, Gio @ 5, and IonXe, the mini encoder display indicates the parameters the encoders
control and provides additional information about the current status of those parameters. To
see additional encoder information, use the [Encoder Display] button to open the encoder
display. For more information, see Encoder Controls Display (on page123)
On Element 2, you can access encoder control by using the MLcontrols display. See Moving
Light Controls (on page127) for more information.
Note: For 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.
Encoder pages populate with parameters relevant to fixtures in the show patch. When you
access a parameter page, controls that are not available for selected channels are suppressed.
Note: Flexi encoders is used to suppress parameters not applicable to the selected
channels. This is used by default for the encoder display. See Flexi Encoders (on
page125)
Each encoder has an associated control section that provides visual indication of:
•
the parameter it controls.
•
the current setting (value) of the parameter.
•
and the current mode if the encoder controls more than one function.
Coarse/ Fine
Allows for control of “coarse” (8 bit) or “fine” (16 bit) control. Default is coarse control. You
may toggle between the two by pressing [Shift] while moving the encoder.
•
Coarse - provides larger changes for non-segmented parameters and
advances/decrements full frames for segmented parameters. The encoder is clutched in
this mode, meaning you will feel each frame change distinctly.
•
Fine - provides unlimited, high granularity control. When used in this mode the encoder
is not clutched, allowing you smooth and detailed control.
Encoder paging
The number of encoder pages for each category will display.
For Eos and Eos Ti, they are displayed in blue at the top of the LCD display.
For Gio, Gio @ 5, and Ion Xe, they are displayed at the bottom of the parameter category
softkeys.
You can go directly to the page required by pressing the encoder page button and a page
number. For example:
•
[Form] & [3] - this will take you to the third page of the form category.
