118 Eos Operations Manual
Min and Max
{Min} and {Max} are displayed when the parameter is linear, such as a shutter. Use these keys to
set a minimum and a maximum setting for a parameter.
Next and Last
{Next} and {Last} are displayed when the parameter is segmented such as a fixed gobo or color
wheel or a color scroller. Use these keys to increment or decrement in full frames.
Mode
The {Mode} key is provided to select different modes for the encoder wheel such as rotate, index,
or special effects.
• When more than two modes are available, the {Mode} key can be pressed repeatedly,
advancing through the various modes. Each mode will display beneath the current
parameter setting.
• When only two modes are available, the alternate mode is indicated instead of a
{Mode} key. Toggling that button switches the encoder wheel to the alternate mode.
Flip
The {Flip} button, as displayed in the Pan/Tilt section of the encoder LCD, is used to flip the unit into
its exact same position, but from the other direction. Depending on the current values of pan and tilt,
there may be multiple flips.
Trackball On/Off
The {Trackball On/Off}, as displayed in the Pan/Tilt section of the encoder LCD, is used to give
pan and tilt functionality to a mouse or trackball device.When this function is turned on, above the
CIA will be a message saying “Cursor as Pan/Tilt”.
Multiple Encoder Control
When parameters require more than one encoder for full control, the encoder LCD provides
indication that the encoders are related to each other by name. Typically, additional modes will load
on other pages but will reference the master parameter unique name. If there are multiple instances
of a device in a single channel (such as two fixed gobo wheels or two color wheels, etc.), each
device will load onto separate encoders.
