30 Eos Titanium, Eos, and Gio Operations Manual
Terminology
Central Information Area (CIA)
The Central Information Area (CIA) is the central place to configure, setup, and access contextual
controls from the console. The CIA is a context-sensitive extension of the command keypad, used
for access to non-intensity parameter controls, the browser, the color picker, and a variety of other
tools. The command line, selected cue, and status information are also displayed here.
The message and status line displays the show name and function, network status, current user,
time stamp, and more. The browser menu is provided for access to file functions, setup, patch,
utilities, printing, and display of record target lists.
Direct Selects
These are “soft buttons” that can be displayed on LCD A and B, or on tab views. Direct selects
provide touch screen access to channels, groups, and most record targets.
Power Button
The power button on the front of the console is used to power up or power down. A separate power
switch, located in the rear panel, can be used to disconnect power from the console’s internal
components.
USB Ports
One USB port is provided on the front of the console to connect an USB storage device. An
additional six USB ports on the rear panel connect peripherals such as an alphanumeric keyboard,
pointing device, or touchscreen control for external monitors.
Touchscreen LCDs
Eos Ti is designed with three internal LCD touchscreen displays. LCD touchscreens A & B may be
used to display show data (with touchscreen interface), or they may be used as direct selects or a
variety of other virtual controls and displays.
The touchscreen angle can be adjusted by pushing the button in the center top of the display and
moving the panel up or down.
Motorized Faders
One dedicated main playback and ten motorized faders are provided. The faders may be
configured as playbacks, submasters, or grandmasters. Thirty pages of 10 faders each are
provided. The bottom of LCD A shows fader status information for the current fader page.
Encoders
Encoders and an associated multi-touch screen for control of non-intensity parameters are
provided on the lower right of the console. The two larger encoders at the bottom are dedicated for
pan and tilt control. The remaining four encoders on the right are pageable controls, which are
populated on the LCD with the parameters used in your show.
W A R N I N G : Before servicing Eos Ti, you must switch off the power on the rear panel and
disconnect the power cord completely.
C A U T I O N : The USB ports cannot be used for charging devices such as cell phones.
