Zone Control

From the Zone Control page you can access and modify all zones within all allowed spaces in the Echo control system. With a DMX Scene Controller in an Echo control system, zones can either be intensity or color zones. Zone control is only available if the zone control switch is enabled in the connecting interface. See General Configuration for EchoAccess Interfaces and Echo Expansion Bridges.

Note:  A single zone may consist of one or more fixtures or circuits.

Navigating the page

Individual zones are shown as sliders for control of the zone's intensity level. A zone that is configured as a Color Zone, Color Temp Zone, or Studio Zone displays a color wheel , color temp icon , or color temp/tint icon next to the slider. Each white dot on the bottom of the page indicates an additional space that is configured for the Echo control system. The blue dot indicates the current selected space and its placement in relation to all configured spaces. The current selected space name is shown in the title bar of the displayed page. Swipe the screen to the left or right to navigate between spaces.

Space Level Control

If the Space Level Control switch is enabled in General Configuration, the top control on the Zone Control screen will be labeled with the name of the Space being controlled. This top slider controls the level of all Zones in the Space. If you set all Zones in the Space using the Space Level Control slider and then change the level of individual Zones with their sliders, the Space Level Control slider will update to the highest level in the Space. The Space color picker, color temp slider, and tint slider control all Zones in the Space. The Space color picker, color temp slider, and tint slider are only available if at least one Zone in the Space has each type of control. In the example shown above captioned "Space Level Control Enabled", Space 1 has a color picker because Zone 2 is a Color Zone and Space 1 has color temperature and tint sliders because Zone 1 is a Studio Zone. Configuration of a color zone is accomplished on the interface's Space Configuration page.

Intensity Control

The black and white slider increases and decreases the selected zone's intensity. You can also tap on the number to the right of the slider and use the keyboard to enter a value between 0-100 for intensity.

  • Tap the color wheel next to the slider to display the color picker. Use the available tools to set color as desired.

  • By default, the color picker provides the ability to set color using red green blue (RGB) input, or you may toggle the switch to use hue, saturation (HS) instead. Color can be set in two ways:
