Purpose of the Class

This class will provide an overview of the console and programming for
conventional fixtures as well as movers and LED fixtures. If new to the
console, then this class is perfect. Whether transitioning to an Eos family
console or a new console owner, this class will teach the basics to get the
programmer up and running with this versatile console.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After completing the class, one should be able to:
• Patch conventional and multi-parameter fixtures
• Work with channels in Live mode
• Work with basic display navigation
• Record, select, and delete Groups
• Record to, load, and clear Submasters
• Record, play, and delete Cues
• Understand Tracking versus Cue Only as well as Block and Assert
• Control non-intensity parameters at a basic level
• Apply additional cue features such as Delay, Auto-Follow and Loop
• Use Park efficiently
• Evaluate and make changes in Setup
• Create simple step-based Effects
WORKBOOK SYNTAX ANNOTATION

therefore removing unwanted data from view.

• Manual channels – selected channels and any channels with manual data

• Show channels – any channels currently active and channels with data
stored in a record target (cue, groups, subs, palettes…)
• Active channels – any channels with intensity above 0 or fading to 0,
running effects, or with non-intensity moves
• In Use channels – exactly like Flexi Active, but also includes dark channels
that are marking for a future cue
• Selected channels – the channels selected on the command line

Hold [Flexi] and use the softkeys and options in the CIA 8 states and 2 modes appear in the CIA

Keep in mind that you can have multiple Live tabs opened (Tab 1.2, 1.3,…)

Track/Cue Only
Eos is a move-fade console, meaning that only changes to channel levels are
recorded. Another way to say this is that channels will stay at a given level Check out the Bobblehead Fred video
that helps to explain the difference in

sequence, Eos will play back moves and tracked levels guaranteeing the
correct stage look.
It is important to learn the rules of tracking when editing cues and recording
cues out of sequence. When editing cues with tracking, changes to a level
will propagate forward through a cue list until a move instruction or a block
is encountered. When editing cues with cue only, only the level changes in
the specific cue will change. The console may add move instructions into the
next cue to preserve the intended look.

A block is an editing tool that prevents changes from tracking into or beyond a
block. Blocks can be applied at a cue level, a channel level or a parameter
level. It will not affect the contents of the cue.

Autoblock protects your cue data in the case of a redundant level change.

{Autoblock Clean} removes all auto-blocks from a single cue, cue range or cue list.

ASSERT
Assert is a playback condition that collects unfinished fades and puts the
entire look of the cue on stage. Assert is a way to regain ownership of a
channel, or to force a new move command using the timing of that cue.
Asserts can be placed at a cue level, channel or parameter level.
