118 Eos Operations Manual
Sneak
The [Sneak] command (when a destination is not provided) removes manual changes from
selected channels and allows the channels to sneak back to their background states (cue or
submaster instruction, if any).
If there is no background state from the playbacks, the channel parameters will be set to their home
position. The sneak command follows the sneak timing defaults established in Setup (see Setup -
{Manual Control}, page 90 ), unless a timing value is provided as part of the sneak command.
The sneak command can also be used to send a channel parameter to a specific destination, either
with or without timing. The following examples illustrate the various methods of using the sneak
command:
• [channel list] [Sneak] [Enter] - releases manual control, setting parameters to their
background state. If there are current values for those parameters from a playback, those are
the values that will be restored. If there are no values from a playback, the parameters are set
to home (or default) position.
• [channel list] [Color] [Sneak] [Enter] - sneaks color of the selected channels to the default
or background state.
• [Sneak] [Enter] - when no channels are selected, restores all channels with manual values
to their background state.
• [Sneak] [Time] [3] [Enter] - restores all channels with manual values to their background
state in 3 seconds.
• [Select Active] [Sneak] [Enter] - selects all channels with intensity above zero and restores
them to their background state, using default sneak times.
• [Group] [5] [9] [Sneak] [Enter] - selects group 5 and sneaks it to color
palette 9 using default sneak time.
• [Group] [3] [at] [1] [Sneak] [Time] [7] [Enter] - selects group 3 and sneaks
it to color palette 1 in 7 seconds
Flip
The {Flip} feature is used to invert the pan and tilt values of selected channels to achieve the same
focus position from the opposite yoke position. This allows you to correctly focus a fixture that may
be at the end of its pan or tilt range or to correct a fade that may be moving in an undesired
direction. {Flip} is located on the encoder touch screen, near the pan and tilt encoders.
The following example illustrates the use of {Flip}:
• [channel list] {Flip}
