Show Control 589
sACN Input
Eos Family consoles can receive streaming sACN level information from itself and other devices
on the lighting control network. Similar to Analog Inputs, these received sACN input levels can
then be used in Show Control events to execute certain actions.
sACN allows for multiple sources to be present on the network. These sources (configured at
the transmitting device) are each given a priority. The valid priority range is 1 (lowest) to 200
(highest) with 100 as the default. When determining the winning level for an address, the level
with the highest priority will be used. If the sources have the same priority, the highest level
will be used (also known as Highest-Takes-Precedence, or HTP).
sACN Inputs can be assigned to events. These events can run a cue, control a submaster, or
fire a macro. Submasters can be turned On, Off, trigger the Bump button, or control the fader.
See Actions .
With the exception of a submaster fader and bump, sACN Input will fire an event when the
level rises above 50% (DMX 127). It does not fire again when the level drops below 50% (DMX
127). It only fires again when the level drops below 50% and then rises above 50%.
Submaster bump will act as if the bump button was pressed when the level rises above 50%
(DMX 127), and acts as if the bump button was released when the level drops below 50%.
