Toggles between storing position data in pan / tilt format and XYZ format for use with
Augment3d.
Form Control
Form (a subcategory of Beam) collects the parameters that affect the quality of the beam,
including the iris, edge, frost, etc. ‘Shutter’ and ‘Image’ are the other two subcategories of
Beam
When the form encoder page button is selected, the LED will illuminate and the encoders
automatically populate with the “Form” parameters as specified in the show patch. If there
are more parameters in the show patch than will fit on the first page of the encoders, press the
[Form] button again to page through the remaining parameters in the category or press [Form]
and a page number to jump to a specific page.
The form parameters may include:
•
Edge - controls the hard/soft qualities of a spot luminaire. While some fixtures may call
this parameter “focus”, it is always represented as “edge” in Eos, to avoid confusion
with “Focus” which refers to pan and tilt data. These values are set to the system default
value for the selected luminaire, but may be modified as required on a per fixture basis
•
Iris, Zoom, Strobe and IMF- each parameter has in/out, narrow/wide, or fast/slow
settings. Iris and Zoom also have programmable limits, called in/out and narrow/wide
respectively. The strobe mode setting varies based on the fixture type.
Image Control
Image is the collection of parameters that affect the contents of the beam (gobo, prism,
effects wheel, etc.).
Shutter Control
Pressing the [Shutter] button displays shutter controls, if there are any fixtures with framing
devices patched.
Note:
For Ion, ETCnomad, RPU, and RVI, the encoder display can be accessed by
using CTRL + ALT+ \ on an alphanumeric keyboard. ALT + ,can be used to change
encoder pages.
Shutter Graphic
Tap or click on the shutter graphic to open up the shutter controls window.
The shutter controls window allows you to move individual shutters by holding down one of
the letters inside of the shutter graphic. To rotate the shutters, use the <A>, <B>, <C>, or
<D> buttons around the outside of the shutter graphic.
