Eos Titanium, Eos, and Gio Operations Manual

Using encoders with the effect editor

When any effect is specified in the command line, the encoder touchscreen automatically repaints
to display the following properties:

Cycle Time - Default is 5 seconds for relative effects

Scale

Shape (Vertical or Horizontal as defined by the {Mode} button)

Axis

At any time, you may use the encoders to adjust these properties within the effects editor for the
specified effect.

Effect Status Display

To view the effects currently running, you may press [Displays]>{Effect Status} to reveal the effect
status display in the CIA.

This display shows you any currently running effects and gives you the ability to edit the effect while
running. When an effect is selected, the encoders and encoder screen change to allow you to
manipulate the effect according to rate, size, horizontal form, vertical form, and axis.

For Example:

To edit an effect, select the effect using the command line or select it directly from the CIA.

[Effect] [9] [0] [2] [Enter]

The encoder screen repaints so that the encoders now control the five attributes in the

columns of the effect status display:

Rate - modifies cycle time. Default is 100% and can be modified from 0%-2000%.

Size - modifies scale. Default is 100% and can be modified from 0%-2000%.

Shape (Vertical or Horizontal as defined by the {Mode} button) - Default is 100% and

can be modified from 0%-2000%.

Axis - Default is 0° and can be modified by +/- 180°.

Use the encoders or softkeys to adjust the effects while watching the effect on stage.

The effect itself can be accessed for editing from this display by pressing {Edit} - any changes
made directly in the effect status display are made to the effect itself and must be stored. Cue level
overrides also must be stored or updated to the required cue, but do not impact the basic effect
itself.

Effect attributes modified in the effect status display can be reset to their previous values using the
softkeys:

{Rate} [Enter] - resets the rate to the previous value.
