Eos Titanium, Eos, and Gio Operations Manual

Playback Fader Controls

Go and Stop/Back

Using [Go]

The [Go] button is used to execute the cue currently in the pending file of the associated fader.
When [Go] is pressed, all parameters assume their required positions in the recorded times, unless
they have been recorded with manual timing. When a cue has manual timing values stored with it,
the fader will set itself to zero when [Go] is pressed, or you may set the fader to zero before you
press [Go].

If a channel parameter is in a transition state when a new cue is activated on the same playback
fader, that parameter will continue its initial instruction in its remaining time unless it receives a new
move instruction in the incoming cue. If a new instruction is provided, the parameter will calculate its
new target and the time to get there for a seamless course adjustment. If a parameter in transition
has no new instruction in the incoming cue, it will continue its fade, using the original timing
provided.

If a channel parameter is in a transition state when a new cue is activated on a different playback
fader, and that parameter receives a move instruction, even if it is exactly the same instruction the
parameter currently has, it will recalculate the destination and arrival time according to the
information from the new cue.

Using [Stop/Back]

All fader activity can be instantly stopped mid-transition by pressing the [Stop/Back] button for the
required fader. To resume the cue, press the [Go] button. To fade to the previous cue on that fader,
using default “back” timing, press the [Stop/Back] button again from this state.

When [Stop/Back] is pressed, the cue should look just like it did before you hit the [Go] button, if
the cue still has ownership of all of its channels. If a different cue list has taken ownership of some
of the channel parameters within that cue in the interim, those specific channel parameters will not
respond to the [Stop/Back] command.

If a cue is recorded or rerecorded when a fader is stopped, the contents of that fader will be
recorded as absolute data in the new record target. If a cue is updated with the fader in a stopped
state, all references in the cue will be updated accordingly.

When a cue on the playback fader is complete, pressing [Stop/Back] will step backwards
sequentially through the cue list from that point. [Stop/Back] uses default back time as established
in Setup.

See “Cue Settings” on page 123.

Or you can back into the previous cue using specific

timing with [Go to Cue] [Last] [Time] [n] [Enter].

Using Blackout

It is possible to blackout a physical fader that is configured to be a grandmaster by pressing the
fader’s [Go] & [Stop/Back] buttons at the same time. Pressing [Go] & [Stop/Back] again will exit
blackout.

[GoTo Q0] on Eos [Go To Cue 0] on Eos Ti and Gio

You can use the [GoTo Q0] button, located with the playback controls, in conjunction with a fader
load button, to send a specific cue list to cue 0. This action does not use the command line. Simply
press:

[GoTo Q0] & [Load]

for the desired fader. For more information on this action, see

Using Go To Cue 0, page 235
