    ETC ion xe issue

    Do the channel tiles still say 80% when this happens or do they show 0? What if you set them to 80% via the command line (x at 80 enter)? Any difference?

    Nomad as backup machine for Ion

    Yes, you can output sACN and/or Artnet with ETCNomad as long as you have a dongle.

    LIghting a musical with older stuff: Timecode, MSC from audio player, software, etc

    Express taking in MSC or Time Code is absolutely possible, with some work: https://support.etcconnect.com/ETC/Consoles/Express_Expression_and_Insight/Express_User_Manual/MIDI_in_Express

    Merge a fixture type from a newer etc element 2

    There are still new libraries being released for v2.9, but if there is a fixture in v3.1 that you need in v2.9 you simply need to patch that into a show file, save as .esf or .esf2, and then open that show file or merge the fixtures into the other console to take that profile with you.

    EOS/Nomad: Trapped in Version Skew

    I can respond to #1: I think there might be a terminology confusion here. A connected mirror must be in the same version as the console it is connecting to, but it also cannot program. A mirror simply shows you the data that is appearing on the screens of the connected console. Is it possible...

    Control/Dimming ETC ION/EOS and Obsidian Control Systems EN4 Nodes?

    I do not believe the Ion would receive RDM through a third party node at this time. If network is being used then an ETC Gateway would be required to pass the RDM Data (or a direct DMX connection to the console).

    Akai APC mini with ION?

    The gateways so not convert the MIDI to OSC, and in this case would likely not be helpful. Thr Gateways are great for getting. MIDI onto a network for multiple receivers to see, but they don't convert the signal to OSC.Luminous is a great way to use a MIDI controller with Eos as it does the...

    ETC R20 Question

    You can set a threshold on the DMX address so it turns on at 1% instead of 50%, but it does need DMX signal on that address to turn on, not just the presence of DMX like ColorSource Relay. You could automate this at the console by having a macro on boot to park the channel on and a macro on...

    ETC R20 Question

    The R20 will be controlled via your CEM or ACP, just as any other modules in your rack would be. For example: If you put the R20 into a Sensor3 rack, the CEM3 takes in control from DMX and/or sACN and then tells the relay to turn on/off. The DMX address of the relay is assigned through the...

    Selecting the Best Channel for Show Baby 6

    I think the answer to this really depends on the wireless traffic in your area. There are wireless apps you can use to see which channels are already the most congested in your space, and then choose an ID based on avoiding those areas (so if the low spectrum is busy choose 149 for example).

    ETC eos LED Control

    What version of Eos software are you running? If it is version 2.3.3 or later then in the gel picker you have the option for the "Brightest" match or the best "Spectral" match (on the far left side of the gel picker at the top). While this isn't going to give you the intensity change you...

    ETC Net 3 nodes

    It is possible that they are running in Net2 mode intentionally due to the presence of a Legacy Unison processor in the system. Additionally, if you changed them to Net3 mode and had no control, did you confirm that sACN is enabled and default at the Ion? If they have been running in Net2 mode...

    Control/Dimming Eos Net3 RVI Video Card Replacement Problems

    I would suggest giving a call to ETC to see if there is anything that can be done. There may be options the repairs department knows about to make this work.
