12.10 How to use the T-bar

General
The T-bar is the way to manually transition Destinations. It works both ways to transition the set up preview
into program. In the case a transition is not completed it can be reversed. A manually started transition can be
finished with an All Trans command.
Only selected destinations will be transitioned with the T-bar. Any unselected destinations will not be
affected.

12.11 How to use the Custom Function Buttons

General
The 4 custom function buttons to the right of the Assign Buttons are used for several tasks and can be
mapped to various system or layer functions, which can be found on the Custom tab in the Resources area of
the Console Menu page.

12.12 EC-200/EC-210 Philosophy

General
The EC-200/EC-210 introduces a new way of programming a Video controller in parallel with a more
traditional way. In order to understand what is possible a small session on philosophy is in order.
About programming on the EC-200/EC-210
The use of a control system is typically divided in the following major tasks:
1. Configuration and Setup of Unit and System.
The Configuration menu is available on the touchscreen monitors. The actions to configure the system,
however, are performed with trackball (mouse) or touch and drag operations on the touchscreen, rather than
by using control surface buttons.
2. Programming creation/edit.
• Creation is when information is added into the system
• Edit is when parameters are changed or adjusted and then saved.
3. Execution playback/live control-edit.
• Playback is when memories and cues are recalled to be executed
• Live control is when memories are recalled and modified or expanded with direct interaction, either in
Preview (normal) or direct on program if LIVE is selected.
Programming will typically happen on the right side of the desk, and Execution will still be possible
to the left, like selecting Layers and sources and record presets. The user is of course free to mix
these concepts according to the user's own workflow preference.
A word about the hardware
There are two main parts in the EC-200/EC-210 controller. The Left side is dedicated to the industry's
feedback on many buttons and Encore like presentation switching. The Right side is inspired by some of the
ideas from the lighting industry, which has a much longer tradition of managing large numbers of instruments.
We will need this in order to effectively use our E2 and its family members, including other devices like
projectors and playback devices.
