ETC Eos v1.3 - Manual (Page 28)

14 Eos Operations Manual
Direct Selects
These are “soft buttons” that can be displayed on LCD 1 and 2. Direct selects provide touch screen
access to channels, groups and all record targets. The direct selects may be configured to access
50 of any selected target, or two groups of 20. LCD1 also has a 100 button display mode. Paging
controls are provided.
Button Module
Button modules are available in a 50 button array for use with the direct selects. Button modules
provide you with tactile feedback of each button press. The module is transparent allowing the text
and graphics from the LCD to repaint each button. Up to three button modules may be installed on
the console, two on LCD 1 and one on the top of LCD 2, above the CIA.
Power Button
The power button on the front of the console is used to shut down and power up the Eos console.
A separate power switch, located in the rear panel of the console, can be used to disconnect power
from the console’s internal components.
USB Ports
Two USB ports are provided on the front of the console to connect any USB storage device. An
additional four USB ports on the rear panel of the console connect peripherals such as an alpha-
numeric keyboard, printer, pointing device, or touchscreen control for external monitors.
Touch Screen LCDs
Eos is designed with two internal 15” LCD touch screen displays. Each LCD may be used to display
show data (with touchscreen interface), or they may be used as direct selects, with or without the
button modules (see
Setting Up the Touchscreens, page 28 ).
Motorized Faders
One dedicated main playback and ten configurable motorized faders are provided. The faders may
be configured as playbacks, submasters, or grand masters. Thirty pages of 10 faders each are
provided. The bottom of LCD 1 shows fader status information and provides a load button for each
fader.
Encoders and Parameter LCD
Encoders and an associated touch screen for control of non-intensity parameters are provided on
the lower right of the console. The two larger encoders at the bottom are dedicated for pan and tilt
control. The remaining four encoders on the right are pageable controls, which are populated on the
LCD with the parameters used in your show.
W A R N I N G : Before servicing the Eos control console, you must switch off the power
from the rear of the console and disconnect the power cord completely.
