Moving Light Controls - ETC Ion Xe Operating Manual

Some fixtures have more parameters than can be displayed on one encoder page. The number of
pages for each category is displayed at the top of the encoder touchscreen. To view the other pages,
simply press the [Color], [Custom], [Shutter], [Image], or [Form] button to advance the pages or
press the button with a number key to go directly to the page you want to access.
Encoders can be switched from course mode into fine by holding down [Shift] while using an
encoder will put it in fine mode for as long as [Shift] is held down. Once [Shift] is released, the
encoder will return to course mode.
Encoders in Blind
The encoders and the level wheel are disabled by default when in the blind display. Pressing an
[Encoder Page Keys], for example [Color], will enable the encoders and level wheel. When the
encoders are disabled, trackball functionality for pan and tilt will also be disabled.
Flexi Encoders
Holding down [Flexi] and an [Encoder Page Keys], for example [Image], will put the encoders into
Flexi mode. In Flexi mode, any empty locations for parameters not applicable for selected channels
