Eos Fun Facts

Hi all...not intending to drag attention away from the Mark-discussion...but another useful function that I have just learned very recently:

Double hitting [ / ] brings up "DMX" in the commandline so you can enter DMX values from 0 to 255 for any parameter...

E.g. Channel [Number] [Tilt] [DMX] [Value] [Enter]

I think this can be useful sometimes..

Oh and one more thing I didn't know for a while:

Holding down [ Blind ] & [ any Record Target ] works as a shortcut to get the Blind-(content-) view of anything..So you don't have to double hit the record target and then {Edit} or go via [ Blind ] and then [ any Record Target ] ... saves time and as we all know there is no time when programming ;)

Cheers from Berlin,

wow! thanks matze, two cool new things i learnt today!

a macro that one of our guys wrote that is simply awesome - select manual, record only-

speeds the programing  up

Lane, explanation please?  Record only just just manual values.  What is this doing??

a

Anne, first it selects manual changes, then it records only; it just encorperates the two buttons into one.

Anne, first it selects manual changes, then it records only; it just encorperates the two buttons into one.

[Record Only]  by definition, records only manual changes, so hitting select manual first is completely redundant. If you hit [Select Manual] [Record Only] [Enter] or just [Record Only] [Enter] the result is *exactly* the same.

Just figured this out today and thought it was awesome.

Say you're doing a show with 3 locations and you keep going back and forth. And the designer has scene specific presets that mark at the beginning of each scene.

Example:

So cues 1-10 are preshow. 1 Marks for scene 1 in an office. Cues 11-67 are in the first scene in an office.

Cue 70 is the blackout. Cues 70-125 then take place in a bedroom.

Cue 125 is a blackout.

Then cues 130- 175 are back in the office.

The designer wants to record Q 11 to Q 130. When you do it, you have all sort of non-intensity moves in Q 130. If you create a part Q in your transition Q 125, we'll say part 7. You can then say Blind Q 125 Part 7 Channel 1 thru 400 (400 is arbitrary, whatever your last channel is) All NPs Recall from Q130. And you've marked everything you need to get back into the office with no live moves...

I was doing Macros etc. to select all my channels with non-intensity parameters for awhile. I feel like I should've realized I could select all channels non-intensity parameters to make big moves like this. It is great. Another reason to love the All NPs key as well as {Recall From} : )

Another way, Alex, would be to flag your Q125 as a Mark Cue: Cue 125 Mark Enter. As you're in blackout, just use [Recall From][Cue][1][1][Enter] to get the state of Cue 11 back onstage as manual levels - if you weren't in a blackout, you could append [Rem Dim]. Then use [Select Active][Mark][Enter] to mark all of these moves in Q125.

This will give you what is essentially a duplicate of Cue 11 in Cue 125, but only the NP moves/marks that need to be there.

It's old, but did you know this(e.g. at Submaster):

to see the level press and hold [Data]:

Huh. And I thought that I knew a lot about Eos... Turns out there was a lot I didn't know!
