Real Time Clock (Rtc) - ETC Ion Operation Manual

Real Time Clock (RTC)

Eos Family consoles have the ability to run Real Time Clock (RTC) events. RTC events are used to run
a cue, submaster, or macro at a specific time on specific days. RTC events can run at a certain time of
day, like 5:00pm on Tuesdays, a certain date, or at a time based off of astronomical events, such as
sunrise and sunset.
Enabling Real Time Clock
For astronomical (sunrise and sunset) events to work properly, time zone, latitude, and longitude
must be set up correctly. Those settings are found under the General tab in the Eos Configuration
Utility (ECU).
Note:
ent so that the console can synchronize time across the network with other devices, such as

For all RTC events, the option for internal must be set to on within the show control display. As long
as the internal option is set to on, the RTC events will execute. However if internal is set to off, then
the events will not trigger. The status in the show control list will indicate whether it is on or off.
There is no way to disable a single event from triggering within the event list, you can only remove
the event number.
Real Time Clock Events
RTC events are created using the
field, a day or date field, and an action. Time for RTC events can be specified as local time or as time
relative to the astronomical events, sunrise and sunset. Local time is displayed in the 24 hour format.
For example, if you want an event to run at 2:50pm, you would need to set it for 14:50.
