ETC intends this document to be provided in its entirety.

The following information is new for version 2.2.0. This document is supplemental to and should be

used in conjunction with information in the Eos Titanium, Eos, and Gio v2.0 Operations Manual, Ion

v2.0 Operations Manual, and the Element v2.1.0 User Manual..

Display Management Tools

One of the most significant improvements to the Eos family in this software release are the

enhanced display management tools. The software provides improved capabilities for opening and

navigating displays and control tools.

Increasing the depth of individual displays, this software introduces the ability to have one of three

different workspaces active on individual monitors, as well as to have up to four areas (called

frames) in use in any workspace. Each frame can hold multiple tabs.

Monitors

Any physical monitor or touchscreen device connected to your console. The integral touchscreens

on Eos Ti are examples of monitors as are external monitors used with any of the Eos Family

consoles.

CAUTION:

If you choose to update fixture definitions in your existing show files after

upgrading to version 2.2, it is recommended that you verify that your show plays

back as expected. Changes have been made to the fixture library to make fixtures

in future shows easier to control, however, these changes will impact existing

shows after you manually update fixture definitions. For more information, see

Changes to Fixtures on page 16
