  • Page 10: Introduction

    A simpler version of our E-6 surface, the E-4 control surface carries less features, keeping the control surface simple to use yet giving the operators the features needed for some of the most demanding shows.

  • Page 11: Control Surface Placement

    Cutout dimensions (in inches) are shown in the drawings below for 5 available frame sizes. Do not connect the E-4 control surface to its power supply (and do not connect the power supply to the AC power line) until instructed to do so.

  • Page 13: Failsafe Dual Redundant Supply

    BOTH rackmount supplies powered up and connected to their associ- ated equipment. Energizing Assuming the E-4 control surface mainframe is properly placed, and its PSU-1 power supply (or supplies) correctly rackmounted and connected to the control surface, you may now energize the rackmount power supply by plugging it into the AC mains.

  • Page 14: I/O Connections

    G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N I/O Connections All user wiring to and from the E-4 control surface is made via connectors located on the control surface’s rear panel. Two 5-pin male connectors at the center of the control surface’s rear are for power supply connections.

  • Page 16: Getting Started

    G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N Getting Started The E-4 control surface comes with the E-4 Embedded Graphical User Interface (GUI) program, intended to be straightforward in use, controlling and displaying graphics, produc- tion tools, and set up screens.

  • Page 17: Tabbed Navigation

    Settings are stored as Presets. The Preset Pane allows you to manage and apply presets to Sources and faders. Events Tab - the E-4 can store a “snapshot” of the entire control surface in a file called an EVENT. The Event Pane is divided into two sections. The Event Recall section lets you recall previously saved Events.

    Input Tab located on the VGA monitor. The Input Tab is the center of control for the E-4 surface. Here you find easy access to most of the fader strip’s parameters. The hardware LED indi- cators on the fader strip let the operator know when a particular function is active.

  • Page 21: Input Tab Display

    This feature is espe- cially useful in large systems with lots of sources. Visibility for input sources can also be set from the surface. This procedure is outlined in Chapter 3. page 2 – 3 E-4 / Jan 2009...

    The user can save all adjustments with the SAVE button. Pressing the SAVE button will bring up the “SAVE TO” form that allows all changes to be saved to a channel, a source, an event, or a preset. page 2 – 4 E-4 / Jan 2009...

  • Page 23: Other Physical Switches And Leds

    Bus-Minus mix outputs for each surface fader appear as Sources in the Surface signal area of XPoint, typically located above source signal ID1001. A typical Bus-Minus output signal name is E1BM01 but the exact name depends on the fader and surface ID number. page 2 – 5 E-4 / Jan 2009...
