Eos Operations Manual

Using Assert (playback button)

Use [Assert] & [Load] for the associated fader to re-run the active cue in that fader, following the
same rules as [Go To Cue]. Assert can be used to regain control of all cue contents, apply a newly
set independent state to the associated fader, or make any changes in blind to an active cue on
stage.

When [Assert] & [Load] are used together, the entire contents of the cue are replayed. You can
assert just certain elements of a cue by using the command line.

Following are some examples of asserting elements of a cue from the command line:

[channel list] [Cue] [5] [Assert] [Enter] - asserts the selected channels with values from cue

5. Note that cue 5 must be active for this command to execute.

[channel list] [Color] [Cue] [1] [Assert] [Enter] - asserts the color values from cue 1 for the

selected channels.

Using Timing Disable

The [Time Disable] button, used with [Load], causes timing data to be ignored for any cues that are
activated on the associated playback fader. When a playback fader is in timing disable mode, you
will notice “TD” in the associated fader display.

To release the playback fader from time disable mode, press [Time Disable] & [Load] again.

Using Freeze

[Freeze] can be used to halt all playback activity on any active faders. To activate a freeze for only
a specific fader, press [Freeze] & [Load].

There are two ways to remove the freeze command:

• press [Freeze] & [Load] again for the specific faders to unfreeze the activity.

• press [Assert] & [Load] or [Go] or [Stop/Back] for the specific faders to resume the activity.

You may freeze and unfreeze cues and effects from the command line.

[Effect] [2] [Freeze] [Enter] - to freeze effect 2. Freezing a specific effect is different from

stopping an effect. Freeze will stop the effect exactly where it is.

[Effect] [6] [thru] [9] [Freeze] [Enter] - to freeze a specified range of effects.

When an effect is in freeze mode, you can use the same command to unfreeze:

• [Effect] [2] [Freeze] [Enter]

• [Effect] [6] [thru] [9] [Freeze] [Enter]
