12. Controller Operation
12.13 EC-200 Philosophy
General
The EC-200 introduces a new way of programming a Video controller in parallel with a more traditional way. In order to understand
what is possible a small session on philosophy is in order.
About the EC-200 programming
The use of a control system is typically divided in the following major tasks:
1.
Con
fi
guration and Setup of Unit and System.
This part is not, in general, covered on the controller surface. The System Con
fi
guration tab can be opened on the screen in the
controller for the buttons, but entry and settings is limited to touch screen and mouse/trackball interaction.
2.
Programming creation/edit.
-
Creation is when information is added into the system
-
Edit is when information is edited in memories to then be saved back
3.
Execution playback/live control-edit.
-
Playback is when memories and cues are recalled to be executed
-
Live control is when memories are recalled and overridden or added to with direct interaction, either in Preview (normal) or
direct on program if LIVE is selected.
Programming will typically happen on the right side of the desk, and Execution will still be possible to the left,
like selecting Layers and sources and record presets. User is of course free to mix these concepts after own
preferences.
A word about the hardware
There are two main parts in the EC-200 controller. The Left side is dedicated to the industry’s feedback on many buttons and Encore
like presentation switching. The Right side is inspired by some of the ideas from the lighting industry, which has a much longer
tradition of managing large numbers of instruments. We will need this in order to effectively use our E2 and its family members,
including other devices like projectors and playback devices.
General guide lines
Selection
By using the
Num pad
of the console we will allow for the selection of several parts of the system and once selected allow them to
be manipulated (apply an action via function buttons).
The primary group of Function Buttons are located just above the Num Pad.

The following buttons are available:
Button
Description
Dest
Destination refer to the most downstream location in the chain, usually a screen.
Layer
Layer refers to a layer that can hold live video.
Source
Source refer to an image source such as a Source
fi
le, Still store and more.
Device
Device refers to devices in an Event Master System.
Preset
Preset refers to Presets stored in Event Master Toolset.
User Key
User Keys are building blocks of settings for the Layers.
Time
Time refers to the timing parameter of the selected Top Functions.
Cue
Cue refers to Cues stored in Event Master Toolset.
With these function buttons a syntax can be applied to make a selection that is then used for further action.
By example, a selection can be made like:
