The “E” displayed beneath the parameter name indicates that this
parameter has “Expanded” functions. When this area of the
touchscreen is pressed, the touch screen repaints to display all the
media settings available for the specific wheel...
Encoder soft buttons
A series of buttons are included in each of the four encoders sections of the display including
{Home}, {Last}, and {Next} or {Min} and {Max}, and depending on the type of parameter, a
{Mode} or {Calibrate} button.
Home
Each parameter has an associated {Home} key in the encoder LCD. This accesses any parameter
and returns it to its default position. Additionally, the control keypad has a [Home] key located
below [Sneak].
Min and Max
{Min} and {Max} are displayed when the parameter is linear, such as a shutter. Use these keys to
set a minimum and a maximum setting for a parameter.
Next and Last
{Next} and {Last} are displayed when the parameter is segmented such as a fixed gobo or color
wheel or a color scroller. Use these keys to increment or decrement in full frames.
Mode
The {Mode} key is provided to select different modes for the encoder wheel such as rotate, index,
or special effects.
•
When more than two modes are available, the {Mode} key can be pressed repeatedly,
advancing through the various modes. Each mode will display beneath the current
parameter setting.
•
When expanded, the modes will display in a column.
•
When only two modes are available, the alternate mode is indicated instead of a
{Mode} key. Toggling that button switches the encoder wheel to the alternate mode.
For Example:
Continuing with the previous example, touch the {Expand}
button
The encoder LCD will repaint with all color media available for
the selected device.
Select any of the available media options, then touch the text
“EXPANDED” to close the expanded display and return to the
encoder page.
