Enabling the Clocks
The internal and external clocks can be enabled separately for each time code list. If you enable the
external clock only, events will play back as long as valid timing data is received. When the timing
data stops, the events will stop.
When you enable the internal clock only, it starts running immediately and triggers events
appropriate to the time.
When both internal and external clocks are enabled, the internal clock does not start running until
the first valid external time is received. After that, it will run whenever the external time source is
absent.
Loop times
First and last times define the overall loop. Times can be set anywhere from 00:00:00:00 to
23:59:59:29. When external time is being received, Eos ignores these times. However, you should
still set them to match whatever loop times the external clock is using.
Internal clock
You can set the internal clock at any time by pressing [Time] and entering a time.
Programming a Time Code Event
Define the first time and last time for the event list (times are given as 00:00:00:00).
• <Event> [1] [/] {FirstTime} [2] [0] [1] [5] {LastTime} [2] [0] [4] [5] [1] [5] [Enter]
Specify the number of frames per second (FPS) used by the timing source (24, 25, or 30).
• <Event> [1] [/] {FrameRate} [2] [5] [Enter]
Specify the timing for the event.
• <Event> [4] [Time] [2] [1] [4] [5] [1] [6] [Enter]
Now create the events that the list will trigger.
• <Event> [1] [Cue] [2] [Enter]
• <Event> [2] [Cue] [3] [Enter]
• <Event> [3] [Sub] [5] [Enter]
You can also add or remove frames from events.
• <Event> [1] [Thru] [5] [Time] [+] [5] [Enter]
Depending on your time settings, Eos will look for an input time (or start its own internal clock) and
events will play back at their specified times.
Learn Mode
If you specify an event list in the command line, you can press the [Learn] hardkey to activate learn
mode for that list. When in learn mode, an event is created with the current list time whenever a cue
is activated, a submaster bump is pressed, or a macro is run.
If [Learn] is pressed while viewing any other screen than the show control display an empty event
will be placed on all event lists that are in learn mode.
Multiple time code lists can be in learn mode simultaneously, each with their individual times.
