Analog Way Eikos - Manual (Page 73)

The RCS software for your Eikos can be viewed as the software version of the Eikos front panel menu
section. It allows you to quickly access all of the Eikos functions via a single page interface, and easily edit
your settings directly from your laptop or PC.
Before starting with the RCS software, you must establish a connection from your laptop to the Eikos you
wish to run.
Software overview
The RCS software for your Eikos is composed of several easily identified sections. The tabs menu (1) allows
you to navigate through the equivalent of the Eikos front panel menu items (see also “The Eikos Menu”
p.31). The green window of the RCS (2) represents your Preview window, and can be used to parameter
sources, frames, layers and logos directly by clicking on the corresponding button, then navigating through
the different available tabs. The red window of the RCS (3) represents your Main window, and can also be
used much like the front panel of the
Eikos.
Create user presets directly in the RCS main window by clicking on one of the four available Preset icons (4)
and setting up your preset in the Preview window. Clear unwanted steps with the clear button (5), reload a fresh
copy of your screen via the Reload Main button (6), make smooth takes directly with your mouse or trackpad
with the virtual T-bar (7). The Take button (9) will allow you to view any change made to your Preview screen on
your Main screen. Analog Way engineers have even implemented a Stepback button (8) to quickly move back
to your previous setup in the case of a manipulation error. The status section (10) allows for easy monitoring of
the connection status.
