Basic Manual Control 161
Note: For ETCnomad, RPU, and RVI, the encoder display can be accessed by using CTRL +
ALT+ \on an alphanumeric keyboard. ALT+ , can be used to change encoder pages.
Encoder pages populate with parameters relevant to fixtures in the show patch. When you access a
parameter page, controls that are not available for selected channels are suppressed.
Note: Flexi encoders can be used to suppress parameters not applicable to the selected
channels. See Flexi Encoders (on page73)
Each encoder has an associated control section that provides visual indication of:
the parameter it controls.
the current setting (value) of the parameter.
and the current mode if the encoder controls more than one function.
Coarse/ Fine
Next to the parameter name is indication of “coarse” or “fine” control. Default is coarse control.
You may toggle between the two by pressing [Shift] while moving the encoder.
Coarse - provides larger changes for non-segmented parameters and advances/decrements
full frames for segmented parameters. The encoder is clutched in this mode, meaning you will
feel each frame change distinctly.
Fine- provides unlimited, high granularity control. When used in this mode the encoder is not
clutched, allowing you smooth and detailed control.
Encoder paging
The number of encoder pages for each category will display.
For Ion, the number of pages for each category is displayed at the right of the LCD.
You can go directly to the page required by pressing the encoder page button and a page number.
For example:
[Form] & [3] - this will take you to the third page of the form category.
Information in the encoder display is only as accurate as the patch information for that channel. For
example, when you are working with color scrollers, the standard manufacturer color frames will be
displayed for scroller controls unless you have created a custom scroll for the selected channel in
patch using the Scroll Editor.
When you have created a new scroll or wheel in patch for any channel and that channel is selected,
that information will be displayed in the associated encoder display. See Using the Editor (on
page112)
When you access a parameter page, the encoders will automatically load and display the first page
that has a valid parameter for the selected channels.
Encoder Softkeys
A series of buttons are included in each of the four encoders sections of the display including
{Home}, {Last}, and {Next} or {Min} and {Max}, and depending on the type of parameter, a {Mode},
