 ====== The Lighting Desk ======
-//This page is a (recently started) work in progress!//
+In December 2025, StageSoc purchased an [[https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Consoles/Eos-Consoles/Accessories/Programming-Wings/Features.aspx|EOS Programming Wing]]. It has the same control surface as an Ion Xe but contains no compute power, so we pair it with a Dell mini-pc that runs EOS and our Nomad dongle to enable DMX output.
-StageSoc's lightng desk is the ETC Element 40. \\
+StageSoc also has an older ETC Element. The Element uses EOS software version 2.8.1 Build 6. Fixture library version 2.8.0.59\\
-We also have an ETC Nomad which allows a laptop to be used like the lighting desk (and is our backup in case the desk breaks)
+The software is available to download for free onto your laptop/PC - Note that the most recent version of EOS will not be compatible with the desk as they are newer! The version of EOS on the mini-PC however should be the latest, if not, please nag the [[webmaster@stagesoc.org.uk|webmaster]].
-The Element uses EOS software version 2.8.1 Build 6. Fixture library version 2.8.0.59\\
+//This page is not a complete guide for using the desk, it's a quick reference for when you've forgotten how to do something//
-The software is available to dowload for free onto your laptop/PC - Note that the most recent version of EOS will not be compatible with the desk as they are newer!

 E.g. to do the cues a total of 5 times you need loop number = 4 \\
+=== Scene labels ===
+Scene markers allow you to mark sections of cues with a heading and adds a green line. This is useful for shows with a lot of cues!
+The scene marker appears above the selected cue.
+**Cue [number of first cue of new scene]
+S1 (Attributes)
+S3 (Scene)
+Type the label text, Enter**
+Scene end is done in a similar way, selecting the "scene end" soft key instead. This adds a green line only, with no text. It is not necessary to end a scene before starting the next.
