ETC Ion - Theatre Uwinnipeg

Analog Inputs and Relay Outputs
Analog Inputs
Analog inputs are available on the Ion.Each analog event in the event list consists of a port address
and an action. There is a global enable for all analog inputs in Setup, see Show Control, page 98.
You will also need to configure set the group and address for the port. See Contact Closure (remote
trigger connector), page 305.
Analog Input Events
Analog Input events fire when the analog input passes a certain level. Action types supported are
the same as Time Code; run a cue, control a submaster, and fire a macro.
Create an Analog Input Event where an input on address 1 will fire Cue 10.
• [4] [/] [1] {Address} [1] [Cue] [1] [0] [Enter]
If you select the submaster option, you will have an additional option of fader, which will map the 0-
10v input to the level of a specified submaster.
Relay Outputs
Relay outputs are available on the Ion. Relay outputs are also often called remote triggers, contact
closures, or contact outputs. To configure, see Relay Out (remote trigger connector), page 305.
Relay outputs are controlled by external links in cues. See Using the Execute List, page 164.
MIDI Show Control
Ion has two MIDI ports on the rear of the console. For configuring the ports. see MIDI, page 305.
Data Sources
MIDI Show Control (MSC) receives data from a MIDI input source. There are 32 available MIDI
sources, numbered 1-32. MIDI consists of many types of data, but MSC looks only at MSC data.
Other MIDI transmitted data is ignored by MSC.
MIDI Show Control Devices
MIDI Show Control data carries a device ID within the data packet. MSC setup allows for the
specification of two device IDs: one for reception and one for transmission.
Only MSC data with the correct receive device ID, or an ALL CALL ID, will be interpreted by Ion.
All outgoing MSC data contains the specified transmit device ID within.
