ETC Ion - Theatre Uwinnipeg

Your First Interaction
When you first start up Ion, you will immediately enter the Ion software environment. A welcome
window will greet you with a {Let’s Begin} button visible on the screen. Use your mouse to click on
{Let’s Begin} or you can press the [Enter] key.
Since Ion can be set up with one or two monitors, what you will first see depends partly upon the
number of monitors you are using.
Single Monitor Configuration
When using a single monitor, the top half of the initial display screen becomes the primary viewing
area for displayed information. Ion will first open with the live table display on the top (primary) half
of the screen and the CIA on the bottom half of the screen.
When the CIA is open, one line of the playback status display is visible above the double arrows.
You can view more of the playback status display by collapsing the CIA (see Collapse/Expand the
CIA, page 27).
