Front Panel
The E2 front panel includes a power switch, a USB port and a dimmable display that works in conjugation with the ADJUST knob
and SEL and ESC buttons. Through the front panel menus you can perform basic system functions such as factory reset, set
network parameters and basic diagnostics. A front-panel USB port is provided for downloading and restoring logo images and
system con
fi gurations. Refer to the chapter "Front panel", page 30 for more information about the E2 ’s Front panel menus.
Event Master Control Software (EM GUI)
Event Master Control Software is an easy to use GUI running on a PC or MAC. The software consists of several menus and tabs
that enable you to con
fi gure your system, setup the input sources and output destinations, manage the dedicated multiviewer and
create your presentation’s overall “look”. In addition, since the con fi guration parameters and presets are stored on the E2 chassis,
multiple instances of the GUI can be run simultaneously on different computers expanding the control possibilities. Refer to the
chapter "GUI orientation", page 67 for more information about the GUI. Subsequently in this User’s Guide, the Event Master Control
Software will be referred as the EM GUI.
An API will be available post release 1 for developers who need to create custom control programs and inter-
faces.
Web interface
Via the local network and a computer the user can access a web page server running on the E2. Basic system functions similar to
the ones available from the front panel menus are accessible through the web page server. Refer to the chapter "Settings Menu",
page 142 for more information about the E2 Web interface.
E2 Controller
The E2 controller is a dedicated hardware panel speci fi cally designed to support the E2 . It includes preset buttons and touch screen
displays allowing for easy and direct control of the E2 system.
The E2 controller will be available in 2015.
