Analog Inputs
Eos Family consoles can accept analog input through a variety of interfaces. 0-10VDC inputs
are received through a Net3 I/O Gateway. Contact closures can be received through the built-
in remote trigger port on the console (when available) and through a Net3 I/O Gateway. The
I/O Gateway can be set up through the Net3 Concert software. For more information, please
refer to the Net3 I/O Gateway Setup Guide. For setting up your console’s local ports, including
the pin-out of the connector, see
Show Control (on page206)
.
Analog inputs are programmed through the show control display, where each analog event in
the event list consists of a port address and an action. Each event list source references a
specific Group ID, which needs to match the ACN Group ID of the I/O Gateway or the Group ID
of the built-in remote trigger port, and the events themselves are assigned addresses for the
individual addresses or inputs within the gateway.
To enable the analog event list, the external time option must be enabled. This is an
enable/disable function for the entire event list. There is also a global enable for all analog
inputs found in Setup; for more information, see
Show Control (on page206)
.
Analog Input Events
There are two types of analog input events – contact closures and 0-10VDC inputs.
Contact closures will fire an event the input circuit is closed. Events that can be triggered this
way include running a cue, controlling a submaster, and firing a macro. The event is only
triggered as the closure occurs. It will not be triggered again as the circuit is opened.
0-10VDC inputs can be used to control a submaster fader proportionally, where 0VDC
represents 0% on the fader and 10VDC represents 100% on the fader. When assigned to a
contact closure style of event, like a Sub Bump, the event will be triggered when the input
passes 6.67VDC. The input must then pass below 3.3VDC and then above 6.67VDC to trigger
the event again. This is designed to prevent the event from firing too many times, in case the
input has noise that causes the voltage to fluctuate.
