Help with Displays

hello... im moderately familiar with the Eos and Ion, the show im currently programming is using an Ion.  im trying to zoom in on my cue list, but im not having any luck.  im clicking on the screen, then trying with the scroll wheel on the mouse, but no matter which screen i click, the tombstone channel screens are the only ones that zoom in and out.  ive also tried holding format and using the level wheel but again i can only zoom in on the channel screen.  i have 2 remote processors set up for the design team and im able to zoom in on their cue lists just fine by clicking on the screen then using the scroll wheel on their mouse.  but i cant get it to work on either of my 2 ion consoles. 

can you tell me what im doing wrong?

thanks

Josh,

You're not doing anything wrong.

At the moment because Tabs are not implemented on Ion you have no way of puling focus to and highlighting your PSD display as you can on Eos. This is why you can't zoom in on the display.

hope that helps

hello.

i'm running Client v.1.7 on an EOS RVI and the CIA keeps getting stuck open after an Update or Undo command. usually it pops open to display undoable commands or data that is about to be updated, but collapses after execution. we're finding that it begins to get stuck open a little while into programming and must be F5-toggled closed. only way to reset is to exit to shell. this is frustrating because on a small display, the open CIA completely obscures the playback cuelist, and the LD doesn't want to have to manually collapse it.

a couple other display queries: is there any way that the Groups display could redraw channel lists sequentially, so that if i add (197) to a group, it shows up between (196) and (198) instead of at the end of the list? is there any way to have Macro editing keystrokes on the console be viewable in real-time on a Client station? and finally, is there a HotKeys keystroke to view discreet timing information? i can't figure out what it is, and when the programmer holds down the Data key on the desk, the pertinent info doesn't appear on my Client display.

thanks!

Wil,

Regarding CIA collapse, I believe this happens if the "default" state of the CIA is anything but the browser, but especially if you're in About or have activated an Undo or Update from the client.  The solution I've found is to hit [Browser] ([F7]), and special CIA displays will auto-collapse.

I second the request to see macro keystrokes.

To display discreet timing, hold down [Time] ([I]).  As of 1.7, this shouldn't post to the command line.  On this topic, though, I would love some way to lock out the command line on an RVI or client so sustained presses of time or label don't accidently post.  Ideally, it would also lock out tab switches that change from live to blind, e.g. live to groups.  Something like caps lock would be great, so the client can quickly go from programming session/LD mode to notes/ME mode.

Wil-

In version 1.4.5, if the board op used UNDO, they would have to press [clear] to clear the command line and collapse the CIA on the client node.  This was using a laptop as the client, so I don't know if that makes a difference or if the behavior has changed in ver. 1.7.

For the group display- the channel list is shown in order of channel entry.  This is because order of channel entry matters on the EOS.  To get the group display to show in order, you have to select the channels in order and record the group.

The hotkey for timing display is Ctrl-T.

Hope this helps-

You can set a [Time] key for your RVI in the EOS shell. Use the RVI button in settings.

Hope that helps
