INTRODUCTION

1-1. THE EIKOS OPERATING MODES

This mode allows for a single Eikos to seamlessly switch and blend any of its 12 analog/digital

inputs with any other of the inputs, add PIP, titling or logo insertion to the live frame, while previewing

your every move before going live, to avoid embarrassing errors on your main screen. The Mixer

mode is the Eikos native mode, and with no less than 6 layers (of which 3 live layers). The Eikos

with the Video output allows to have a full Main screen for recording or broadcasting.

MIXER MODE

MATRIX MODE

Before you start setting up your Eikos for the rst time, be sure you know what you actually want

to do with it. The Eikos offers a choice of three operating modes, which results in a versatile video

production tool for live event staging and xed installation applications.

* NOTE * : We recommend resetting the device to its default values every time you set up your

shows or events (see the “Operating The Eikos” chapter, p25).

This mode turns your Eikos into a true 12 x 2 scaled matrix, while preserving seamless switching

capabilities. Main and Preview outputs can be set to different resolutions and rates. Switching between

any of the inputs can be done with the various effects (Cut, Fade, Slides…) and synchronized on

both outputs.

This mode allows to display up to four live windows, while preserving seamless switching capabilities.

Several templates are available.

QUADRAVISION MODE
