Universal Fader Wings

427

To change the fader page of a fader wing:

Step 1:

Press and hold the [Fader Page] button on the Eos console. The LCD on the fader

wing will display the available pages beneath the fader bump buttons.

Step 2:

Press the bump button corresponding to the page you wish to display on the fader
wing. The fader wing will display those faders after your selection is made.

Using the Faders

Playbacks, submasters, and grandmasters will all appear on the fader wings as configured in setup.
Any unmapped faders or playbacks with no contents will appear with no information in the fader
wing LCD.

When the page is changed, any submaster LEDs will illuminate in the color of the new submaster
loaded on the page (green for additive and red for inhibitive). Fader wing submasters are not
motorized, therefore when you change pages you may have to manually reset the fader to the
proper location to reflect its current output level. If a submaster setting must be matched to gain
control, the LED will flash quickly in the appropriate color. The LED will stop flashing and illuminate
normally once the fader has been moved to the required location.

Otherwise, LED illumination states follow the conventions of the main face panel when submasters
are using fade and hold/dwell times. You may use the fader wing submasters in the same way as
you would use those on the console.

Using the Buttons

Each fader is equipped with two buttons beneath the potentiometer. When used with submasters,
the bottom button is the bump key. The top button can be used in two ways. When pressed in
conjunction with the bump button it will act as a “Load” button for that fader and can be used to load
submasters.

For playbacks, the bottom button acts as a [Go] button and the top button acts as a [Stop/Back]
button, similar to the buttons beneath the master fader pair on Ion.

When pressed together, these buttons act as a [Load] button for that fader which can be used to
load faders or to use any of the fader controls such as {Release} or [Stop Effect].

Loading Faders

Since all of these faders are also accessible within the Eos software, you may load faders using the
motorized faders as described in “Cue Playback” (see

Assigning Faders, page 245

).

You may also use the load functionality of the fader wings to load submasters or playbacks to
faders. This is accomplished by selecting the cue or submaster on the command line, and pressing
both buttons located beneath the fader (equals [Load]).

Depending on how the fader is mapped, you may have to release the fader before you can load
contents to it. For example, if you want to load a playlist into a fader that is assigned as a
submaster, you must release the submaster first. This is done by pressing and holding [Shift] and
then pressing both fader buttons ([Load]).

N o t e :

On a 2x10 fader wing, you can only access the first 19 pages of faders.
