ETC Eos v1.3 - Manual (Page 314)

300 Eos Operations Manual
User ID and multi-console features
Set in the ECU (see Start Up Settings, page 287 ), User ID is an Eos-specific identifier that can be
set uniquely for each Eos device or can be shared between multiple devices allowing for shared
data between consoles. The user ID can be set anywhere from 1 to 10.
Eos devices sharing User IDs will share certain data, while those with different IDs will not. Below
are the differences in multi-console data depending on User ID.
Data shared between Eos devices with the same User ID
• command line
• null channels in live
• selected channels
• filters
• selected cue
• live/blind mode
• setup>desk settings
Data specific to the Eos device, regardless of User ID
• current slider page
• current encoder page
• focus on displays without command line
• display configuration (layout, format, visible parameters, flexichannel)
• paging without changing selected target or channels
Data identical between all Eos devices, regardless of User ID
• all stage levels and edits
• all data stored in the show file
• playback, sub and grand master contents and progress
The default User ID for any Eos device is 1. You may change this based on your preference to
allow/restrict the functionality described above.
Multi-console backup
Within an Eos system, you have the added bonus of show data backup. Any client on the system
will receive all show data updates and stage levels so that, in the event of a master failure, any
client will be capable of taking control of the system without a loss of show data.
N o t e : After you have completed the setting changes described above, connect your Eos
device to the network and reboot the device.
