Command Line

Some of what you want may be possible simply by being in the same user id.  Most display settings are device-dependent when not in mirror mode - flexi, zoom, format, etc.  You can even switch tabs independently, as long as the tab doesn't switch the mode between live and blind (e.g. looking at the group list).

One setup I really like is having RVI buttons that toggle users via a macro, so I can choose between "following along" and "exploring."

In addition to the command line, being on the same user also allows me to see channel highlighting, which I find very useful.

HTH,

Thanks Josh,

We actually started in the same user mode when we setup the system.  Our house crew played with it and we found it hard to determine what commands would cause the Gio to change and what did not.  We did not want to risk a designer hitting something and thus changing the Gio.  I do like the macro idea. via the buttons.

You can also set up partitions so the RVI has no channel control as well as disable spacebar "go."  Changing tabs or displays to anything target or setup oriented can put the console in blind, which would be your greatest risk.  If you want to allow access to something input-related, like the color picker, that tab change wouldn't affect the console.

One thing to keep in mind for same user, non-mirroring, is the page commands are independent, so the programmer can't page for the designer.  Personally, I find this a feature, but some designers used to O2 and new to Eos forget this.  The display will automatically page with the "@" command, which can come in handy.

Well just did some playing with partitions.  If both units are set as user 1 so the designer can see the command line the partition setting changes both units.  So you cannot have the GIO partition 1 under user1 and the RVI partition 0 under user 1.

That is correct.  Partitions are a user setting, not a device setting.   You effectively have three choices:

Make the designer his own user.  The only way to see an alternative user command line is via Magic Sheets.

Make the designer the same user.  He will be able to set his own formats (as those are device specific), and will be able to see the command line.  However, all devices that are the same user share the same operating modes.

Put the designer in mirror mode.

Hope that helps.
