Encoder LCD Touchscreen on Eos and Eos Ti
For this information on Gio, see
Encoder Controls Display., page 68
The encoder LCD touchscreen displays the active parameter category loaded on the encoders, as
selected by the page buttons. Each encoder has an associated control section in the LCD that
provides visual indication of:
• the parameter it controls.
• the current setting (value) of the parameter.
• and the current mode if the encoder controls more than one function.
For Example:
The graphic to the right indicates the encoder LCD
displaying a page of Form parameters for a Martin,
Mac 700 profile luminaire.
•
Encoder 1 is controlling Shutter Strobe.
•
Encoder 2 is controlling Zoom.
•
Encoder 3 is controlling Edge.
•
Encoder 4 is controlling Iris.
•
Encoders 5 and 6 are controlling Pan and Tilt
respectively.
Pressing [Form] again loads the encoders with other form
parameter options when they are available.
Coarse/Fine
Next to the parameter name is indication of “coarse” or “fine”
control. Default is coarse control. You may toggle between
the two by pressing [Shift] while moving the encoder.
• coarse control - provides larger changes for non-
segmented parameters and advances/decrements full
frames for segmented parameters. The encoder is
clutched in this mode, meaning you will feel each frame
change distinctly.
• fine control - provides unlimited, high granularity
control. When used in this mode the encoder is not
clutched, allowing you smooth and detailed control.
Encoder paging
The number of pages for each category is displayed in blue at the top of the display for Eos and Eos
Ti. For Gio, they are displayed at the bottom of the parameter category softkeys. You can go directly
to the page required by pressing the encoder page button and a page number. For example:
• [Form] & [3] - this will take you to the third page of the form category.
Information in the encoder LCD is only as accurate as the patch information for that channel. For
example, when you are working with color scrollers, the standard manufacturer color frames will be
displayed for scroller controls unless you have created a custom scroll for the selected channel in
patch using the Scroll Editor.
When you have created a new scroll or wheel in patch for any channel and that channel is selected,
that information will be displayed in the associated encoder LCD.
When you access a parameter page, the encoders will automatically load and display the first page
that has a valid parameter for the selected channels.
