  • Page 18: Other Reference Materials

    The following resources are recommended: John Huntington, Show Networks and Control Systems, (Brooklyn, NY:Zircon Designs • Press, 2012) ETC Support Articles, available at support.etcconnect.com/ETC. • Important Concepts Before using your console, you should read and familiarize yourself with the concepts defined below.
  • Page 19 A fixture is defined as a group of related addresses that together control a device. An example of a fixture would be an ETC Revolution. This automated fixture contains 31 parameters that together allow you to perform various functions such as pan and tilt. Each of these attributes is addressed by a different output.
  • Page 20 Eos family consoles also have a [Q Only / Track] button that allows you to record or update a cue as an exception to the default setting. Therefore, if the console is set to Tracking, the button acts as Cue Only. If console is set to Cue Only, it behaves as a Track button. Ion Classic User Manual...
  • Page 21 Tracking Mode When you create a new cue, any unchanged channel parameter data from the previous cue is tracked into the new specified cue. Any changes in this new cue will also track forward into subsequent cues until a move instruction or a block flag is encountered. In the example below, the gray boxes indicate tracked values and the white boxes indicate move instructions.
  • Page 22 Move Instruction A move instruction is any change to a parameter from its previous stored value, such as changes to a channel’s intensity, pan or tilt, color mixing, etc. Manual Data Manual data is any value set for a channel via the command line. Manual data will remain at its value until a move instruction is provided for it.
  • Page 23 This rule is not followed when executing an out-of-sequence cue. An out-of-sequence cue is any cue that is recalled via [Go To Cue], a Link instruction, or manually changing the pending cue. In general applications, the entire contents of the cue (both moves and tracks) will be asserted on an out-of-sequence cue.
  • Page 24 Eos family consoles determine the LTP value for a channel, which is overridden by any HTP input values that are higher than the LTP instruction. This is then finally modified by manual control. Ion Classic User Manual...

  • Page 591: Real Time Clock (Rtc)

    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.

  • Page 593: Analog Inputs

    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 console (when available) and through a Net3 I/O Gateway. The I/O Gateway can be set up through the Net3 Concert software.

    sACN Input Eos Family consoles can receive streaming sACN level information from itself and other devices on the lighting control network. Similar to Analog Inputs, these received sACN input levels can then be used in Show Control events to execute certain actions. sACN allows for multiple sources to be present on the network.

    MIDI Show Control Eos Family consoles can receive MIDI Show Control (MSC) data from Net3 Show Control Gateways and the built-in MIDI ports on a console or programming wing (when available). There can be up to 32 sources, and these sources can be assigned Group IDs between 1 and 32.
