ETC Eos

Eos sends cues to ShowRevue​

On the Eos console:

  • Go to Setup → System → OSC.
  • Enable OSC Output.
  • Set Output IP to the Mac running ShowRevue.
  • Set Output Port to 8000.
  • Fire a cue and confirm Preferences → Lighting Consoles shows Cue input online.
  • Confirm ETC Eos appears in the Lighting Consoles section there and updates when cues arrive.
  • Confirm the cue also appears in the Cues panel.

ShowRevue sends cues back to Eos​

Cue fireback requires the Capture licence tier or above.

In ShowRevue:

  • Open Preferences → Lighting Consoles and scroll to Control (fire GO back to console).
  • Enable console output.
  • Set Console to ETC Eos.
  • Set Host to the Eos console IP.
  • Set Port to the Eos OSC input port, usually 8000.
  • Set the cue list to the target list, usually 1 (or leave Use detected on).

ShowRevue sends this command:

/eos/cue/{list}/{cue}/fire

Several cue lists at once​

Shows often run more than one Eos cue list — the book, followspots, video-from-LX. ShowRevue records every list the desk sends, always. There is nothing to configure to capture a list, and no way to lose one by forgetting to.

What you choose is which list is the show:

  • Project Settings → Consoles → Main Show Cue List nominates the main list. It drives running-time and interval timing, Director NOW/NEXT follow, cue navigation, and the Main Lighting Cue overlay widget (plus Stage Display and Live Notes).
  • Every other list stays a reference lane in playback — the timeline stacks a lane per list and the cue list gains a track filter — and can be put on the layout with as many Secondary Lighting Cue widgets as you need.

The picker lists every list the show has ever been heard running, so it's populated before you record a frame, and the Receiving panel underneath shows each list's last cue and how long ago it fired.

List names​

Eos doesn't send the list's name with a cue, so ShowRevue asks the console for it once — the first time it ever sees that list, never again. The names then read through the whole app ("List 5 — FOLLOWSPOTS") instead of bare numbers: in the picker, on the layout, in the playback lanes and the cue list.

That query is read-only and honours the show-output gate, so it stays silent when outputs are off or locked for a show. If the console doesn't answer, the list number carries the display on its own.

Fade times​

Eos also reports each cue's fade duration over OSC, and ShowRevue captures it with the cue. In playback you'll see that fade two ways:

  • In the Cues panel, the active Eos cue shows a progress bar that fills across the fade, with the elapsed / total time.
  • On the timeline scrubber, an Eos cue's pill stretches to the width of its fade — a long crossfade reads as a wide pill, a snap stays compact. (Other consoles don't report a fade time, so their cues stay as point markers.)
