no intensity on cue faders

hi everybody,

 

im out here with a eos(first time) and just mentioned that i cant use the intensity faders on my cuelists.

on every console i know the faders are responsible for the intensity of the corresponding cuelist,

but not on the eos ?!

did i miss something is this a feature or is this a bug ?

i really would like to change this setting somewhere if possible !!!

 

yours,

mike

  • I also looked for this feature.  The process would be loading a cuelist onto a fader, and then that fader is the "Master" for that cuelist. 

    There should be a way to enable/disable this function on a list by list basis, and a global setting to default it on or off.

     

    Try going into Setup>Desk and enabling or disabling AUTO PLAYBACK.

     I haven't had a chance to try this out yet, but it might be what we are looking for.

  • Auto Playback is a different, unrelated, feature which determines if your changes are moved from manual control to the playback when you record to a cue (levels displayed in red become displayed in blue). The full name for the feature is "Autoplayback on Record"

    The playback faders only control the intensity if you set the cue's intensity time to manual [Cue 1 Time Manual] or if you move the slider to 0 before pressing go to let Eos know to capture the intensities for manual control.

  • Dan,

     What we are looking for is something that is used often in the programming and running of moving lights for special events/corporate events/tv/rock etc.,  but not so much for theatre.  It allows you to program a show with moving lights live and create dynamic looks with pre-built cues lists on the fly.  This isn't a very important feature for theatre, where things have a certain linearity thats consistant, and I can create inhibitives to pull down conventionals for ML focus.

    My two cents is that we should seriously consider adding this functionality to future software versions, with the aforementioned enable/disable option both globaly and on a per-fader or per-cuelist basis.

     

    Thoughts anyone else?

  • Just to be clear---

    The option would change the function of the fader to a master for whatever cuelist is loaded onto that fader, and the ability of the master to function would be independant of timing and Cue GO.   This is a big departure of fader functionality from previous ETC desks, but would allow the EOS to better bridge the gap between moving light/concert desks and theatre/conventional desks.
