Form Control
Form (a subcategory of Beam) collects the parameters that affect the
quality of the beam, including the iris, edge, frost, etc. ‘Shutter’ and
‘Image’ are the other two subcategories of Beam
When the form encoder page button is selected, the LED will illuminate
and the encoders automatically populate with the “Form” parameters
as specified in the show patch. If there are more parameters in the
show patch than will fit on the first page of the encoders, press the
[Form] button again to page through the remaining parameters in the
category or press [Form] and a page number to jump to a specific
page.
The form parameters may include:
• Edge - controls the hard/soft qualities of a spot luminaire. While
some fixtures may call this parameter “focus”, it is always
represented as “edge” in Eos, to avoid confusion with “Focus”
which refers to pan and tilt data. These values are set to the
system default value for the selected luminaire, but may be
modified as required on a per fixture basis
• Iris, Zoom, Strobe and IMF- each parameter has in/out, narrow/
wide, or fast/slow settings. Iris and Zoom also have
programmable limits, called in/out and narrow/wide respectively.
The strobe mode setting varies based on the fixture type.
Image Control
Image is the collection of parameters that affect the contents of the beam (gobo, prism, effects
wheel, etc.).
This graphic represents a luminaire with two gobo wheels and an
effects wheel.
{Expand} is present for parameters that have “Expanded” frame
tables for selection. When pressed, the display repaints with an image
(if available) of what is in the various frames of the associated device.
Pressing the top right corner of the expanded display will return the
display to normal mode.
