Page 42: Rack-Mount Procedure
3. General Rack-Mount Procedure General The chassis of the Event master devices (E2 and S3 series) are designed to be rack mounted. The devices are supplied with front rackmount hardware. Please note the following important points: • The E2 is 4RU in height while the S3 is 3RU in height.
Page 43 Use the following steps to rack mount the S3 or the EX: 1. S3 and EX units are shipped with side rails included in the shipping case and not installed onto the chassis. These side rails, when they are properly installed and adjusted, assist with the distribution of chassis (and cable) weight within your rack. Use the following steps to properly adjust the side rails: a) Measure and install the two supplied mounting brackets on your rear rack rails.
Page 44 Measure the distance between the front and rear rack rails. Remove the mounting screws that secure each side rail to the chassis, and then adjust the spacing of each side rail as necessary. The S3 uses four mounting screws on each side rail; the EX uses two mounting screws on each side rail.

Page 97: Screen Layout Presentation
6. EM GUI orientation Screen layout presentation General The user interface is organized around a Menu Navigation bar at the left of the screen and a Working area in the rest of the screen. The layout of the screens is similar throughout the GUI. In order to explain the layout, we will examine the start-up screen of the Conﬁguration Menu and describe the different components.
Page 98 6. EM GUI orientation Selection area The selection area allows the users to select the System, Device or inputs that will be used. Diagram area In the middle, is the Diagram area where the system, Screens and Multiviewer are represented graphically. Conﬁguration area On the right hand side, is the conﬁguration area where users perform all needed adjustments.

6. EM GUI orientation Conﬁguration Menu General The Conﬁguration menu is the module used to edit the Presentation Systems (creation, modiﬁcation, deletion). This page is the ﬁrst page that appears when you launch the EM GUI software. The user will use this page to add or remove devices to the selected system. The user also could modify the parameters of these devices like inputs, backgrounds, outputs and destinations.
Page 101 6. EM GUI orientation Adjustment area There are several panels in this area: Adjustment, Input/Background, Output/MVR and Destinations. Each panel displays the list of items currently deﬁned in the system. The user can also add or delete and deﬁne more items.

6. EM GUI orientation 6.19 Programming Menu > Resources area General This part of the Programming page allows users to manage the available input resources. Sources are created and deﬁned from the available Inputs that were deﬁned on the System Conﬁguration page. From Release 1.5 there is Still Stores for Sources, Still Stores for Backgrounds and Destinations for re-entry.
Page 155 6. EM GUI orientation • Deﬁnition: A layer is one image stacked on top of another or a background. • Features: Each mixer layer has two layers, Preview and Program. For complete ﬂexibility, each layer can be assigned to either PIP or Key functionality.

Image 6-42 Hide Input(s) checkbox Background In this menu, Backgrounds deﬁned in the Conﬁguration menu are assigned to destinations via drag and drop procedure. Backgrounds and Destinations need to have the same resolution without the Destinations eventual blend overlap. For example, if a background is deﬁned as an input with 3840 x 1080, then the destination must also have the total resolution of 3840 x 1080.
Page 163 6. EM GUI orientation Background (List view) • Name: This is the Name of the Input as created in the Conﬁguration of the system. • Resolution: This is the resolution of the Input signal. • The LED color indicates the status of the input: Red: Sync is missing or invalid format.

Page 165 The Input > Backgrounds subtab allows the Event Master series processor to use Backgrounds as Inputs. This subtab can be used on any Event Master processor, but it is especially useful on a limited-resource processor, such as an S3–4K Jr. processor. An Input deﬁned as a Background can now be used as a Background, or as a source on an AUX Destination or Screen Destination layer.
Page 166 6. EM GUI orientation To use a Background as an Input, follow this procedure. Go to the Programming menu. Go to the Input tab of the Resources area, and then go to the Backgrounds subtab of the Input tab. Drag a Background from the list on the Backgrounds subtab and drop it on any Screen or AUX Destination in the Programming Diagram area that has at least one source layer assigned to it.

10. Controller orientation 10.1 General description General Event Master controllers are dedicated hardware consoles speciﬁcally designed to support the Event Master series processors, devices, and systems created from several of them. They run the Event Master Toolset Software (EMTS) and the EC-200 on an industrial operating system with optimized hardware.
Page 291 10. Controller orientation EC-50 General description The small form factor of the EC-50 is equally at home next to an EC-200 or as part of a Event Master Toolset Win PC or MAC OSX System. It provides a traditional T-Bar and button interface for the Destination, layer and preset functions of the EventMaster Toolset. It uses the same high quality controls as found in the EC-200 console, ensuring responsive and reliable operation.

Page 515: Event Master Series Processor Json Rpc Remote Control
"646 555-4567" How JSON interacts with Event Master processors JSON uses JSON RPC (REST based) to interact with the Event Master processors such as E2, S3–4K, and EX. JSON-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol encoded in JSON. JSON-RPC works by sending a request to a server implementing this protocol. The client in that case is typically software intending to call a single method of a remote system.
Page 516 B. Remote Control Protocol • method—a String with the name of the method to be invoked. • params—an Object or Array of values to be passed as parameters to the deﬁned method. • id—a value of any type used to match the response with the request to which it is replying. The receiver of the request must reply with a valid response to all received requests.
