Analog Inputs
Eos Family consoles can accept analog input through a variety of interfaces. 0-10VDC inputs are
received through a Net3 I/O Gateway. Contact closures can be received through the built-in remote
trigger port on the desk (when available) and through a Net3 I/O Gateway. The I/O Gateway can be
set up through the Net3 Concert software. For more information, please refer to the Net3 I/O Gate-
way Setup Guide. For setting up your console's local ports, including the pin-out of the connector,
see Port Setup Options, page 7.
Analog inputs are programmed through the show control display, where each analog event in the
event list consists of a port address and an action. Each event list source references a specific Group
ID, which needs to match the ACN Group ID of the I/O Gateway or the Group ID of the built-in
remote trigger port, and the events themselves are assigned addresses for the individual addresses
or inputs within the gateway.
To enable the analog event list, the internal time option must be enabled. This is an enable/disable
function for the entire event list. There is also a global enable for all analog inputs found in Setup, see

Analog Input Events
There are two types of analog input events – contact closures and 0-10VDC inputs.
Contact closures will fire an event the input circuit is closed. Events that can be triggered this way
include running a cue, controlling a submaster, and firing a macro. The event is only triggered as the
closure occurs. It will not be triggered again as the circuit is opened.
0-10VDC inputs can be used to control a submaster fader proportionally, where 0VDC represents
0% on the fader and 10VDC represents 100% on the fader. When assigned to a contact closure
style of event, like a Sub Bump, the event will be triggered when the input passes 6.67VDC. The
input must then pass below 3.3VDC and then above 6.67VDC to trigger the event again. This is
designed to prevent the event from firing too many times, in case the input has noise that causes the
voltage to fluctuate.
