Encoders on Gio
The encoders are one of the ways to control the non-intensity parameters (NPs) of multiple
parameter devices. The four encoders are identified in two ways, by the encoder controls display
and the mini encoder status display. For more information on using the encoders, see
Setting Non-
intensity Parameters with the Encoders, page 143 .
Encoder Controls Display.
Pressing the [Encoder Display] hardkey, will open the encoder controls display.
Directly under the middle two encoders are six hardkeys
that are for encoder control. From left to right, these
encoder paging keys control intensity, focus, color, shutter,
image, and form. Pressing any of these will change the
parameters controlled by the encoders.
To view other available encoder pages, simply press the
encoder paging keys to advance the pages.
[Encoder Paging Keys] + [#] will take you directly to a
page. [Flexi] + [Encoder Paging Keys] will toggle the flexi
encoder states.
To post a parameter category to the command line, use the parameter category buttons located in
the CIA above the Mini Encoder display.
To post beam to the command line, double press the shutter, image, or form parameter category
buttons.
Each encoder’s 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.
The encoder controls display allows you to cycle through parameter steps (if available). You can
also home any parameter. Some buttons that may be available on the touchscreen are:
• Min
• Max
• Next
• Last
• Mode
• Expand
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. The top mode accesses the index controls for the wheel. Press {Mode} to access
