Highlight and Lowlight

Channels selected while in highlight mode will either go to a default setting, or to a value provided by a highlight preset. Modifications can then be made to those channels. Any changes will be maintained when the highlight mode is removed.

To place Eos in highlight mode, press [High] [Enter]. The command line will show that highlight is currently in use.

If no highlight preset is established, or for channels that have no value stored in the highlight preset, the following values will be applied to channels as they are selected:

• Intensity - full.
• Focus - no change from present state.
• Color - home value.
• Shutter - no change from present state.
• Image - home value.
• Form - no change from present state.

For example:

• [1] [Thru] [5] [High] [Enter] - places channels 1 - 5 in highlight.
• [Next] - specifies channel 1, which is now at the highlight value. Channels 2 - 5 are in the lowlight value. All other channels go to the defined rem dim level.

You may assign both a highlight and a lowlight preset in Setup > User > Manual Control. Any preset may be used. Channels with only one parameter included in the preset assigned to Highlight and Lowlight will not reset other parameters back to their default highlight values (see above).

On a command line with a channel selection, you can use [Shift] & [High] to go into Highlight mode and send the selected channels to the default Highlight setting. This command will self terminate the command line.

If you just use [High] , the command line will be cleared.

Lowlight Preset

The {Lowlight Preset}, which is set in Lowlight Preset, is used to define the behavior of specified but not selected channels while using [Next]/[Last] in highlight mode. When in highlight mode, [channel list] or [Group] [n] [Enter] [Next] will select the channel list or group and isolate the first channel.

• [High] [Enter] [6] [Thru] [1][5] [Enter] [Next] - specifies channels 6 through 15 with channel 6 the only channel selected. 6 is at the highlight level and 7 through 15 are at their lowlight levels. Pressing [Next] again will put channel 7 at the highlight level and 6 plus 8 through 15 at their lowlight levels. If there is no lowlight preset, these channels are not affected.

Temporary Highlight Level

The highlight preset can be overridden by setting a temporary highlight level. Using [High] [At] [5][0] [Enter] overrides the highlight preset and sets the highlight level to 50. Non-intensity parameters are not affected and will use the default highlight setting or the highlight preset.

The temporary highlight level will remain until [High] is pressed again or the channel is no longer selected.

Highlight/Lowlight Rem Dim

In addition to the highlight and lowlight presets, there is also a setting for {Highlight Rem Dim}. When enabled and highlight mode is active, the intensity for all non-selected channels are automatically set to the Rem Dim value established in setup, if that Rem Dim value is lower than the channel’s current intensity. This can be used to help further isolate the channels you are working with in Highlight Mode

If you do not wish to enable Rem Dim globally in Setup, you can specify a rem dim on the command line for temporary use. Rem Dim will use the {Live Rem Dim}, as specified in setup.

• [High_Low] [Rem Dim] [Enter]

To temporarily override the {Highlight Rem Dim} option in Setup, you can use either of the following syntax examples:

• [Channel list] [Highlight] [Rem Dim] [n] [Enter]
• [Channel list] [Highlight] [Rem Dim] [/] [n] [Enter]
