Save As
Pressing [Label] or [Delete] on the console, or DELETE on an alphanumeric keyboard will remove
the default show label when doing a Save As.
{Manual} Flexichannel
A {Manual} softkey has been added to [Flexi]. This view shows the selected channels and any
channels with manual data.
Playback Status Display Changes
Paging in the Playback Status Display
When focus is on the Playback Status Display, you can now use the paging keys to navigate in this
display.
Moves Column in the Playback Status Display
A ‘MV’ column to indicate moves has been added to the Playback Status Display.
A ‘D’ will be used to indicate a dark move. A dark move is a non-intensity move of a channel that is
at an intensity level of 0 in the associated cue. An ‘L’ will be used to indicate a live move. A live
move is a non-intensity move of a channel that is also moving to an active intensity level.
Update Library
When a new library is installed on Eos Family consoles (for example, included in a software
update), changes in library data will not automatically update your show files. This is to prevent
library changes from affecting a functional show file.
Using the {Fixtures} softkey in patch will open up the list of fixtures used in the current show file. In
this view, you will be able to tell which fixtures in the currently loaded show file differ from the
console’s fixture library. For fixtures that have a library update, the {Update Lib} softkey will display
in white, and for fixtures that don’t have an update, the {Update Lib} softkey will be greyed out.
Scroller Fan Curves
Curves can now be applied to the scroller fan parameter allowing for the output of the fan to be
controlled by the intensity of the channel. The curves available for this are the same used for
intensity parameters and cues.
To set a curve to a scroller fan, go to Displays>Patch>Attributes>Fan Curve for each scroller.
LED Virtual Intensity
All LED fixtures now have a virtual intensity channel that will act as a master for all LED parameters.
LED parameters will default to full when controlled by the virtual intensity channel.
[Select Active]
On Eos, pressing [Select Active] once will capture all active levels. Pressing [Select Active] twice
will capture all active manual levels and those from playbacks except for submasters. Select
NonSub Active will post to the command line.
On Ion, press and hold [Select Last] to display the {Select Active} softkey. Pressing {Select
Active} once will capture all active levels. Pressing {Select Active} twice will capture all active
manual levels and those from playbacks except for submasters. Select NonSub Active will post to
the command line.
New Palette and Preset Options
When recording palettes and presets, three new softkey options are available. Columns have been
added to the palette and preset lists to indicate when these options have been applied.
