line.
• About Channel revisions - Scrollable views in channel about have been added, along with
new postings. Usage reports have been added as a tab in About.

level has been added. Rem Dim can also be automatically posted to Highlight/Lowlight.

Key Enhancements in v1.3.1
• 2x20 Universal Fader Wing Support. This software release supports the new 2x20 universal
fader wing.
• Loading Cue Lists. It is now possible to load cue lists to playbacks without knowing the first
cue number. Example: [Cue] [1] [/] [Enter] [Load]
• Changes to Offset. New supported syntax for offset, for example [1] [thru] [2] [0] [Offset]
[3] [/] [2] [Enter] provides an offset of 3, beginning at channel number 2.
• Improvements to Partitioned Control Editing. The partition control editor now opens in the
CIA, rather than a tab view.
• Block DMX Ranges. From the Eos Configuration Utility (Shell), you can now block control of
specified DMX ranges.
• Front Panel Macros (Eos Only). The three empty keys above [Params] are now mapped as
macro 801, 802, and 803.
• Improved Summary Displays. The FCB icons are no longer displayed when summary view
is expanded.
• Improved Playback Displays. An indication of which loop the linked cue is incrementing is
now displayed.
Note:
When show files written in software versions prior to v1.4.0 are opened in v1.4.0,
assert flags will be displayed with all blocked cues, channels, and/or parameters.
This maintains the exact editing/playback behavior exhibited before this change
to block behavior.
Any new blocks added to the show file in v1.4.0 software will not auto-generate
the assert flags.
