EOS preheat times

[JSqueaksBooth]

Hay there.

 

Dose anybody know if it's possible to change the preheat time in a cue on the eos.

 

I have a cue that isn't preheating quick enough as it's taking the global time from the previous cue.

 

Thanks.

You could set a time for that specific channel. Channel 1 time 1 Enter Then update the cue. Would this solve your problem?

Can you just manually pre-heat that channel in the previous cue by taking it to around 5-10%, whatever does not show on stage?

 

I think that you can choose when a channel pre-heats, but cannot remember the syntax.

I can't change the time on the channel as I need it to fade in time with the rest of the cue.

This was my first solution but upon investigation there are a few too many cues where this is an issue and I don't have the time to plot through every channel in every occurrence.

 

Thanks for your responses so far :)

Well you'd set the channel to preheat in the cue before the one you needed it in. What exactly is it you're trying to do here?

 

If you had to do the entire show and the preheat value wasn't noticeable to the audience then you could assign a manual curve to the channel in patch so 0% on the desk would output 5% (or whatever is good).

Permanent preheat in the patch or on the dimmer itself?

Make a sub. Stick it up.
