Eos Remote Interface

The Eos Remote Interface provides the same access to your system as a console - without the added cost of output control. Perfectly at home on a tech table or in an equipment rack, the Remote Interface supports up to three 4K multi-touch monitors and connects to your Eos Family lighting controller through Ethernet.

Setup Guide

Prepare your Eos Remote Interface for use with the following setup steps.

1. Insert the included power cord, locking it into the IEC socket under the hard power switch on the back of the Eos Remote Interface. Connect the other end of the cord to wall power.

   

   CAUTION: Power cord must be connected using an earth ground connection.

2. Connect any external monitors to the appropriate device ports, as well as their own power sources.

   

3. Connect any USB devices, such as an external mouse or the included keyboard.
4. Connect any network cabling to the appropriate Ethernet port.

   

5. Activate the hard power switch above the IEC socket.

   

6. Activate the soft power button on the front or top of the Eos Remote Interface.

   

7. Choose one of the Supported Eos Device Roles to log into the Eos application.

   

Once your Eos Remote Interface is up and running, Get Started with information about Eos System Requirements and Setup, Eos Family Resources, and Using This Manual.

Physical Overview

Power

 

Power Button

The soft power button on the front of the Eos Remote Interface is used to power it up or down.

You can also power down your device using Browser > {Power Off Device}.

Hard Power Switch

A separate hard power switch, located on the rear panel above or below the power cord socket, supplies or disconnects power from the console’s internal components.

Internal Touchscreens

The Eos Remote Interface is designed with a single internal touchscreen display, supporting haptic feedback or pressure-sensitive touch.

Touchscreen brightness can be controlled via Setup > Device > Brightness Settings and Presets.

External Monitors

For monitor configuration, see {Monitor Arrangement...}.

Ethernet ports can be used to connect your device to Network Switches, gateways, and other network devices. Each port can be run as a separate Network Interface Card (NIC), and can be configured to directly output network-based lighting control protocols such as Streaming ACN (sACN) or Art-Net.

See Patch > Protocols and Setup > Device > Network.

Features, Specifications, and Requirements

Minimum Eos Software Version

The Eos Remote Interface requires Eos software v3.1.1 or later.

Supported Eos Device Roles

Eos Family device roles determine the device's behavior and abilities, primarily in Multi-Console Sessions. Roles can be chosen from the ECU Welcome Screen, which can be accessed on device startup or by exiting the Eos application to the shell via Browser > Exit.

The Eos Remote Interface supports the following Eos Device Roles:

• Host - previously "Master," the Host is whichever of these devices is currently leading the session:
  • Primary- the device designated to operate the session.
  • Backup - the device logged in to track the Primary and take over in event of failure.
• Client - any device logged in as a full-time participant of the session, with no ability to become a Host.
• Expansion Processor (EEP) - a device logged into Expansion Processing mode for processing and outputting additional universes of data.
  • Backup Eos Expansion Processor (BEEP) - a device logged into Expansion Processing mode, assigned to track an EEP and take over in the event of failure.
• Offline - any device that has been logged into Offline mode, which may be on a network, but is not connected to a session and is not outputting.

Any device that was logged in but is no longer able to communicate with a session will appear as Disconnected.
