12 Eos Family Show Control
Analog inputs uses external timing sources only. This is an enable or disable function for inputs.
Real Time Clock uses internal time only, but the clock can sync with an external time server.
Whether using internal time from the console or using external time from a time server, it is
important that all the correct information for time zone, latitude, and longitude are properly setup.
Refer to the Configuration Utility appendix in your console’s manual for setup information.
Creating an Event List
Getting started with an event list is the same regardless of which show control protocol you are
using.
To program an event list, you first must open the show control display.
• [Displays]><More SK>>{Show Control} or [Browser]>{Show Control}
Create an event list by specifying it in the command line.
• <Event> [1] [/] [Enter]
Specify what the list will respond to (MIDI, SMPTE, Analog, or RTC).
• <Event> [1] [/] {Type} {MIDI} [Enter]
Define the group or source.
• <Event> [1] [/] {Source} [8] [Enter]
Activate the internal and/or external timing functions (see Internal vs. External Time, page
11 ). These functions are toggle on/off states.
• <Event> [1] [/] {Internal} {External} [Enter]
When defining an event list, it is feasible to enter multiple commands in the same command
line. This can speed up your programming of an event list. For example:
• <Event> [2] [/] {Type} {MIDI} {Source} [5] [Enter]
Once the list is created, you will then need to create the specific events. Those steps will vary
depending on what protocol is being used.
N o t e : External timing sources may run faster or slower than the console’s internal clock.
