INTRODUCTION
1-1. THE EIKOS (EKS500) OPERATING MODES
This mode allows for a single
Eikos
to seamlessly switch and blend
any of its 12 analog/digital inputs with any other of the inputs, add PIP,
titling or logo insertion to the live frame, while previewing your every
move before going live, to avoid embarrassing errors on your main
screen. The Mixer mode is the
Eikos
native mode, and with no less
than 6 layers (of which 3 live layers). The Video output of the Eikos
allows to have a full Main screen for recording or broadcasting.
MIXER MODE
MATRIX MODE
Before you start setting up your
Eikos
for the first time, be sure you know what you actually want to do with
it. The
Eikos
offers a choice of three operating modes, which results in a versatile video production tool for
live event staging and fixed installation applications.
* NOTE * :
We recommend resetting the device to its default values every time you set up your shows or
events (see the “Operating The Eikos” chapter, p28).
This mode turns your
Eikos
into a true 12 x 2 scaled matrix, while preserving seamless switching capabilities.
Main and Preview outputs can be set to different resolutions and rates. Switching between any of the inputs
can be done with the various effects (Cut, Fade, Slides…) and synchronized on both outputs.
This mode allows to display up to four live windows, while preserving seamless switching capabilities. Several
templates are available.
