and then assign that preset to Home in Setup (see System (on page204) ). Any channels that
are not included in the preset assigned to Home in Setup will use their library defaults.
Multiple Intensity Channels
When a fixture with multiple intensity parameters is patched, Eos assigns it a master intensity.
The master intensity can be used to control the multiple intensities together. The master
intensity is handled in the same way as the intensity of a single intensity channel.
Levels can be set via the level wheel, from the keypad, and the encoders. The other intensities
will default to 100%.
Control of the individual intensities of a multiple intensity channel is handled using the
parameter buttons in the CIA (see Manual Control of Non-intensity Parameters (NPs) (on
page231) ) or the encoders (see Custom Control (on page237) ). Levels assigned to the
individual intensities will act independent of each other and the master intensity.
•
[1][0][0] {Intens 3} [At] [5][0] - sets intensity 3 of channel 100 to 50% intensity.
•
[1][0][0] [At] [7][5] - sets the master intensity of channel 100 to 75% intensity. All
intensities for channel 100 will be mastered to 75% unless they have a separate intensity
set.
In Table view, Eos will default to showing all intensity parameters associated with the
channels.
In summary view, the master intensity is shown. If one of the multiple intensities has a value,
an ‘+’ will display beside the master intensity.
Multicell Fixtures
Fixtures that have multiple same-type parameters can have a multicell profile assigned to
them, as designated by MC in the fixture editor. See Patching Multicell Fixtures (on page169)
for more information.
Multicell fixtures have a master channel with a whole number for a channel number and the
appropriate number of additional cells, which will have point numbers for their channel
numbers.
To control the whole fixture (master +cells), select the channel number.
To control individual cells, use [.] to put {Cell} on the command line.
To control just the master, use [Shift] & [.] to put {Minus Cells}on the command line. You can
also use the syntax [1] [.] [0] or [1] {Cell} [0] to only control the master.
To select the master and any or all of the cells, you can use the following syntax examples: [n]
[.] [0] [Thru] [n], [n] [.] [0] [+] [n], or [n] [.] [0] [Thru] [n] [-] [n]. The {Cell} softkey can be used
instead of the [.] hardkey.
Example:
Channel 1 is a multicell fixture with four cells.
•
[1] [At] [Full] [Enter]
Sets the intensity of the master channel to full. Note that the intensity
parameter for cells defaults to full.
•
[1] [.] [1] [At] [5] [0] [Enter]
Sets only cell one at 50% of the intensity of the master. Cells are a percentage
of the master level. [.] puts cell on the command line.
This can be especially useful when applying effects or palettes.
