Using Softkeys

Some of the features and displays in Eos are accessible from the softkeys, which are located in the
bottom right area of the CIA.

Remember the use of the [Displays] button to the right of the CIA. This button offers softkeys that
access the following displays:

Effect Status

Color Picker

Patch

Setup

Browser

Each of these displays offers its own specific softkeys of relevance.

Context Sensitive Softkeys

Softkeys are context sensitive and will change depending on a number of factors including: the
active display, the current command in the command line, the active record target and so on. Eos
always repaints the softkeys to coincide with your current action.

To get the full use of features on your Eos system, be sure to familiarize yourself with the softkeys
that become available as you program your show.

Changing Softkey Pages

When there are more relative softkeys than the six available softkey buttons, both gray and white
softkey labels will be visible. The white labels on the bottom row of the label window indicate the
active softkeys. The gray labels in the top row indicate the second page of available softkeys.

To access the second page of softkeys, press the [More SK] button. To access the previous
softkeys, press [More SK] again.
