Eos Fun Facts

The intent behind this post is to bring to light little known features of Eos and Ion.  The kind of stuff that you wouldn't necessary discover on your own.... that you'd have to read the manual to find (yea, yea) or that someone would have to tell you about.

Maybe you know some you'd like pass along!!

For example, did you know.....

That you can lock out the face panel on the desk by holding down [Clear] & [Escape] .... and unlock it the same way?

  • First off the {recall from} button rules : )

    But, I also just started using group #'s for color systems in our shows, and this seems like a pretty cool little trick. I made groups in the thousands made it easy to reference, for example our L132 system is Group 1320, G 362 is Group 3620, R09 is Group 9000, etc. Makes checking color and changing gel really simple.

    I'd be curious to know how everyone has been marking on their Eos. I have used a few methods, but am programming August: Osage County now and think I've come up with a good system that doesn't involve using board marking. I'm thinking up a macro to make it even easier.

    I'll make a post about it soon, but it seems like there are a few good options for marking. I've liked the control of seeing the values and doing it myself on this show. And Presets as well as the {AllNP}, and the {recall from} buttons make it pretty easy to move things around.

  • Alex,

    If you're interested, you can also enter color information in Patch, and then use Query to select units in a specific color.

    When the import from Lightwright functions are a little more robust, you'll also be able to import color information directly from your LW file.  You can import this information now, but it will overwrite any patch information you have stored, so be careful until that is corrected.
