EOS 3.0 For Element 2 and PC

Hi Robert,

Since v.2.4.0 (August 2016) Consoles and PC Nomad use the same unified installer.  The same installer will work on your Element 2 and home PC.  The Mac installer remains a separate installer.

Thank you for sorting this out. The notice on the ETC site that says " . . . If you are looking for the Eos Family Offline Client Software, it has been replaced with the Eos Family ETCnomad Software . . . " is presumably for some other client software?

So just to confirm, I can use "ETC_EosFamily_v3.0.0.389.exe" on my home (Windows 10 64bit) PC and at the theater on our "ETC Element 2" (along with the "EOsFamily_v3.0.0_RelNotes_RevA.pdf")?

The link where my cursor is located: https://www.etcconnect.com/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=10737502790 is for all PC based devices (Consoles and Nomad)

Yep, I got that and the release notes thanks. Just need to get the "Element v3.0.0 User Manual Rev A" (Though I imagine this will be in the Help Fn on the board). Plus I need to look at the Aug3 Quickstart and the new buttons thing. Looks like tonight = some reading!

There is a lot in 3.0 I need to look at before putting it on the console. This brings up some questions:

1/ If our console is at 2.9.0 should we update to 2.9.1 1st?

2/ If console remains at 2.9 for a while but I use 3.0 at home on the PC to practice can I still edit show files I bring home and take them back to console or should I use the shell to use to 2.9.1 at home to do this?

3/ Not clear yet: How do I evoke the Augmented 3D in 3.0 or is it a separate installation?

4/ Currently using iRFR for a Android remote control tablet and the ETCLink tablet. Will we need to change any IP settings under 3.0

Sorry. Big list! But as we use volunteers on the board I have to be really very conversant with 3.0 before putting it on the console. Thank you for your help

1 - as long as you are running 2.9.x it doesn't matter - but you should update to 2.9.1

2 - 2.9.x and 3.x can be installed side-by-side on PC and consoles.  Consoles have a switch in the Shell to change which version you will launch.

3 - It is Tab 38

4 - If it is the same PC/Console/Mac then no.

Most of this is covered in Manual - What's new section for 3.0.

Got it and yes the manual is open. Was visiting' Control Booth' and stumbled upon Gafftaper's "EOS v3.0 has been released" video. Really well laid out and presented. Took only a few minutes to give me a clear view of the 3.0.0 major change areas. Well done.
