Encoders on Eos Ti
The encoders are one of the ways to control the non-intensity parameters (NPs) of multiple
parameter devices. The bottom two encoders are always in control of pan and tilt respectively from
left to right. The top four encoders are identified by the encoder touchscreen, just to the left of the
encoders. For more information on using the encoders, see
Setting Non-intensity Parameters with
the Encoders, page 143 .
Encoder Touchscreen
The top mode accesses the index controls for the wheel. Press {Mode} to access clockwise
rotation (encoder controls the speed of rotation); press it again to access counter-clockwise
rotation.
Encoders can be switched from course mode into fine by holding down [Shift] while using an
encoder will put it in fine mode for as long as [Shift] is held down. Once [Shift] is released, the
encoder will return to course mode.
Press {Expand} to see all of the information about any device with a frame table. Press again to
collapse to the normal view. You may make selections from the Expand screen. The colors/images
in the device are established in patch (see
Using the Scroller/Wheel Picker and Editor, page 92 ).
The encoder touchscreen area will display the
name of the parameter it controls, display
stepped limits (if any) and also a {Home} button
which allows you to set that parameter to its
default position. You can also home any
parameter.
Some buttons that may be available on the
touchscreen are:
• Min
• Max
• Next
• Last
• Home
• Mode
Buttons like {Next} and {Last} are used to step
through ranges (such as colors in a color
scroller) one step at a time. {Min} and {Max}
allow you to send a parameter to its minimum or
maximum limit with one press.
{Mode} allows you to switch between modes of
a parameter (if any exist); for example, a
rotating gobo wheel.
