1.) To use the mobile Eos computer for lighting workflows, please schedule an appointment with the Studio Manager to review and schedule delivery of the system to your studio.

`

2.) Plug the grey AC power attached to the mobile desk into a stable power source.  In this instance, we are plugging it into the convenience rack power strip in the AV rack of the studio.

3.) Turn on the compact computer located under the desk by pressing its power button.  It will illuminate when powered ON.

Turn on the switch in the back of the Element console to turn it on.

Once the computer has booted, it will auto-launch the Eos software. 


Additionally, the last show file will be loaded automatically.

Locate the provided DMX cable coiled on the mobile desk. 



Make sure it's plugged into the A "Universe" plug under the desk


Locate the black MAIN DMX box next to the A/V racks. 


Plug the DMX cable into the Male port labeled "DMX IN".

Note - the green light on the MAIN DMX Preset box should be replaced with a red light as shown in the referenced image.  This indicates the Eos software is overriding the preset box.
