Changes to Fixtures
Changes have been made to the fixture library in version 2.2 to make fixtures easier to control.
These changes affect the fixture definitions.
These changes include:
• More mode parameters for complex fixtures
• More calibrated ranges
• For example, DMX ranges are calibrated in real units (25 to 50 Hz or 5 to 20 RPM)
instead of their absolute DMX values.
• Changes to the index type parameters
• For example, some index parameters that used to be 0-360 degrees are now -180-180
degrees.
Pixel Mapping Installer Update
Eos Family v2.2 includes an enhancement for operating file system support for Nomad systems
running on a PC or Macintosh. This changes the default location for storing show files and media to
the main “User” documents location of the system; [Windows Drive]:\Users\<<Your User
Name>>\My Documents\ETC\Eos for Windows 7 & 8, ~/Documents/ETC/Eos on Mac platforms.
An update to the Eos Family Pixel Mapping Installer is available (v1.0.1). You may obtain this
release of software by downloading it from the Downloads section of the ETC website,
www.etcconnect.com . First time Nomad installs of Eos Family v2.2 should use Eos Family Pixel
Mapping Installer v1.0.1. This is not required for upgrades to Eos Family v2.2, but it is
recommended.
ECU Change for Nomad
For Nomad, a new option has been added to the ECU to allow Fullscreen Offline Editor mode.
Instead of separate windows, the displays will be fullscreen.
With this mode disabled, you can choose up to six windows to display. Fullscreen Offline Editor
mode is enabled by default.
N o t e : For consoles updating from v1.9.2 or earlier, it is recommended that you install
pixel map installer v1.0.1
N o t e : Please be sure to check your media archive location in
ECU>Settings>General>Media Archive Path to ensure proper configuration.
Restoring defaults will use the updated locations configured by Eos v2.2 and the
v1.0.1 pixel map installer.
