Partitioned Control 533
You can also use [+], [-], and [Group] to further modify the channels in the partition. When
adding/ subtracting channels to a partition, if you do not use [+] or [-] before channel
numbers, the numbers will replace the channels in the partition, rather than adding to or
subtracting from them. This overwriting does require a confirmation (if enabled in setup).
Deleting Partitions
To delete any partition, simply type the syntax in the command line:
•
[Delete] {Partition} [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes partition 5 from the list.
Preprogrammed partitions cannot be deleted.
Using Partitions
Partitions are set on a user level. See
Assigning User ID (on page 539)
for more information.
When partitions are enabled and a partition is selected, you may only control and record data
for the channels included in the partition, with the exception of parking and unparking
channel parameters or playing back cues. If you try to control a channel that is not in your
partition, Eos will post an advisory that this channel is outside of the partition, and you must
confirm that you want to control that channel. You will not, however, be able to store
information for that channel.
When you record a target (cue, preset, palette), only those channels that are partitioned to
you are recorded. Other programmers’ record actions to the same target can add to it (they do
not replace it) unless channels are shared. When shared, the last value provided at the point of
the record action will be stored.
Partitions in Playback
In Eos, how faders are configured and what is loaded to those faders is shared across all
control devices, with the exception of the master playback. As such, if the leftmost fader on
page 1 is configured as submaster 1, all devices will display and control submaster 1 on that
fader.
When content is played back from any device, it will be recalled in its entirety. If you wish to
limit playback on cues, partitions can be assigned to cue lists. See
Partitions on Cue Lists
(below) for more information. Additionally, filters can be placed directly on the playbacks to
restrict what is recalled on that fader. Filters are system wide.
Eos allows each user to assign different cue lists to their master fader pair. Using this feature,
programmers can work within their partitions, using the master fader pair for their specific cue
list, without affecting the cue list that is loaded to the master fader of another user.
Partitions on Cue Lists
A partition may be assigned to a cue list. If a partition has already been applied to a cue list,
any channels not in the cue list's partition will not be included in cues when they stored or
replayed.
Any data for a cue list that already existed before a partition is applied, will be maintained,
including data for channels not included in the partition. If data existed before the partition
was assigned, in blind, channels that are not in the partition will display without a channel
graphic, any levels will be in gray, and a small superscript N will display with it.
Assigned partitions will display at the top of the cue list index and in the PSD.
To assign a partition to a cue list:
•
[Cue] [n] [/] {Partition} [n] [Enter]
