User manual

The RCS software for your Eikos can be viewed as the software version of the Eikos front panel

menu section. It allows you to quickly access all of the Eikos functions via a single page interface,

and easily edit your settings directly from your laptop or PC.

Before starting with the RCS software, you must establish a connection from your laptop to the

Eikos you wish to run.

Software overview

The RCS software for your Eikos is composed of several easily identied sections. The tabs menu

(1) allows you to navigate through the equivalent of the Eikos front panel menu items (see also “The

Eikos Menu” p.28). The green window of the RCS (2) represents your Preview window, and can be

used to parameter sources, frames, layers and logos directly by clicking on the corresponding button,

then navigating through the different available tabs. The red window of the RCS (3) represents your

Main window, and can also be used much like the front panel of the Eikos.

Create user presets directly in the RCS main window, by clicking on one of the four available Preset

icons (4) and setting up your preset in the Preview window. Clear unwanted steps with the clear button

(5), reload a fresh copy of your screen via the Reload Main button (6), make smooth takes directly

with your mouse or trackpad with the virtual T-bar (7). The Take button (9) will allow you to view any

changes made to your preview screen on your main screen, and Analog Way engineers have even

implemented a Stepback button (8) to quickly move back to your previous setup in the case of a

manipulation error. The status section (10) allows for easy monitoring of the connection status.
