System

Num of Channels

You may use this field to set the number of channels in your console to the number of channels in your system. Eos supports a maximum of 99,999 channels. The default is 5,000. Only 32,768 channels can exist in the patch, but they can be distributed throughout the entire 99,999 channel count. Enter the number of channels for your system using the keypad. This entry must be confirmed with the [Enter] key.

Note:  Every part in a multipart channel will count as an additional channel for the channel count total.

Element Classic consoles are limited to either 250 or 500 total channels, which can be numbered up to 10,000.

Dim. Dbl. Offset

This allows you to set the address offset for dimmer doubling. The default for this is 20000, to match the Net3 standard offset, including Sensor dimming software. For dimmer doubling over Local DMX, this value should be set to 256.

{Create Virtual HSB}

Allows you to disable creation of virtual hue and saturation parameters. Disabled by default.

When Virtual HSB controls are disabled, the hue and saturation columns will not display in Table view. You will not be able to record just the Hue or Saturation values into a cue, submaster, preset, or palette, and you cannot apply an effect to Hue and Saturation. You will still be able to control Hue and Saturation from the encoders, ML Controls, Color Picker, and the command line.

{Display Colors In D65}

Displays colors of gels and current light output on the encoder display, color picker, pixel map, and magic sheet link to channel color using a D65 white point. Enabled by default.

Disabling this option switches Eos back to using a D50 white point, as in software versions prior to v3.0.0.

{Zones}

Enables or disables Augment3d Zones. Enabled by default.

Home Preset

Allows you to specify a preset that will be used as the home level for all non-intensity parameters in the preset, instead of the fixture library defaults. This preset will be applied for all “Go to Cue Out” and home commands. Channels not included in the assigned home preset will continue to home to their library defaults.

Preheat Preset

Allows you to specify an intensity preset that will be used as the preheat level for all channels assigned to use "Preset" as a preheat value in Patch. See Patch > Attributes.

Metric / Imperial

Specifies the units used for distance measurements. Choose between Meters, Feet, or Feet/Inches. Defaults to Metric.

System Startup Macro

This field allows you to set up a startup macro that will trigger after the console initialization has completed.

System Shutdown Macro

This field allows you to set up a shutdown macro that will trigger at power off.

Note:   The system shutdown macro does not trigger when the primary console exits to the welcome screen (shell).

Disconnect Macro

Note:  Not available on Element Classic.

This field allows you to set up a disconnect macro that will trigger when the primary disconnects from its backup, or when a backup disconnects from the primary.
