270 Eos Family v2.9.0 Operations Manual
Using Manual Control
There are four types of manual control for playbacks:
Cues can be stored with manual timing. When cues have stored manual timing, the
default behavior of the fader is to control those manual values.
Cues can be captured for manual intensity control only. This is possible only when the
associated cue has no manual timing values.
Cues can be manually overridden using the {Man Override} & [Load] feature which
captures all parameter transitions.
The fader can be set to manual master mode. See
Master (on page245)
for more
information.
In each of these cases, follow time counts down from [Go]. The hang time will be kicked off
when the fader reaches full or when the last parameter reaches its end state from timing,
whichever comes last.
Manual Timing Control
Manual timing can be set for any parameter or group of parameters. A fader is then used to
control the progress of a transition.
Example:
Assume the active cue contains an instruction to set red at 40 for channel 1.
The pending cue contains an instruction to set color for channel 1 to blue and the color
parameter has a manual time. Press [Go] to activate the cue.
Channel 1 color does nothing.
As you move the fader up manually, channel 1 color moves proportionally from red to
blue. Any parameters with timing will start their moves at the press of [Go] and be
unaffected by the manual control.
To program a channel manual time:
[1] {Color} [Time] {Manual} [Enter] - assigns a manual time to channel 1. This must be
recorded or updated to a cue, when in Live.
Manual timing can also be set at a cue level:
[Record] [Cue] [5] [Time] {Manual} [Enter]
Manual timing can also be set at a cue category level:
[Record] [Cue] [6] {Color} [Time] {Manual} [Enter]
Manual Intensity Override
An intensity transition may be taken over manually and the transition captured by dropping the
fader down until it reaches the percentage of cue completion (i.e. if the cue is 50% complete,
when the fader is manually dropped to 50%, the intensity transitions will be captured and the
intensity portion of the cue completed by moving the fader manually between 50% and full or
anywhere in between). If the fader is dropped below 50%, the fader will fade all intensity values
proportionally from their captured values to their previous values.
If a fade is captured and the faders are not reset to 100% prior to the next press of the [Go]
button, the fader will automatically reset to 100% upon cue execution. Alternatively, you can
set the fader to 0% before executing the next cue to capture the cue for manual intensity
control when the [Go] button is pressed if the fader is set to proportional control. Intensity
