Nomad/EOS 2.2 Offline

In the shell, under settings, you can set for single or dual monitor mode.  As to "all of the stuff", have you looked at the supplement?  This is always recommended before installing new software.

One of the reasons we have not posted that this build is available yet is because we've not yet had the time to post the video that explains what it all means.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne!

I did have a look in the shell but obviously missed that setting- got it now! (It's been a very long day, but word got to me that the new release was out, so I had to have a peek!) Now that I've got my two screens back, it's a lot less crowded!

To be honest, I had a look at the downloads page for some sort of readme for the OLE, but didn't clock the Operations Manual supplement document! (For anyone else looking, it's here). That'll teach me for jumping straight into a new release after 12 hours at work!

:-).  It's tempting I know.  I do it all the time with my Mac or iPhone.  They ask me if I want to know what's changed and I'll say no... I'll figure it out as I go.  That works great with consumer products.  A bit more dangerous with professional grade.  Glad you got it sorted.  We will surely post the 2.2 video tomorrow.

Thanks!

Can I suggest in the interests of making the new system a little more familiar to current users that it be setup with 2 screens by default?

Whilst I completely get what you say about reading release notes, one of the great things I (and I'm sure many others) admire about the Eos system is being able to walk up to any console/editor in the range and just 'use it', without going "where has x,y,z feature gone" or "why on earth isn't my second screen there?!" Defaulting to 2 screens with a live tab and playback tab, for example, lets you get on with the job, and find the screens setting or play with the new tabs system later!

Please don't take this as a moan- more a constructive observation!

Oh, and just to add, I do love the new ways of customising the screen layouts- it's the very feature I've been wanting for ages!

Thanks!  Initially, during 2.2 development, we did default to 2 screens.  It was changed by request of our beta testers.

Appreciate the feedback.

Anne

Fair do's! Thanks for the info Anne!

I used to be in the group for beta development for V2- is there a way to automatically be enrolled into new EOS beta programs please?

We periodically set up new forums for beta (usually with each major release).  We note on the previous forum that it is being closed out, with an advisory to contact me for anyone who wishes to continue to participate.  People tend to come in and out of the program based on production schedules, current assignments and so forth.    We are not currently in beta, but expect to begin 2.3 in the upcoming weeks.  We will be using the 2.2 beta forum for this.  I'll get you signed up to that forum.  We will make an announcement there when beta for 2.3 commences.

Thanks!

What is the maximum number of monitors that can be used with Nomad?

In the settings you can select up to 6.

These don't have to be physical monitor if you don't have full screen ticked. You will just get 6 windows.

If you do have full screen ticked then you can only have up to the amount of screen connected.

You can still have 6 in full screen if you have a a machine that can run them all.
