With the ease, power and operational style of Eos
in a small, affordable package, Ion’s small
footprint – 19” wide only - is the pefect solution for space-challenged environments
and small venues. Providing fully integrated control
of conventional and moving lights, Ion packs a punch.
Elegant, highly intuitive and simple to use, Ion
will satisfy the needs of beginners and pros alike.
But you don’t need a PhD in Ion to use it!
Start with the everyday (channel 5 at full) and let
the full potential of Ion – like the powerful
effects package, marking and timing functions – unfold
with your experience. And it’s an easy step
from Ion to Eos, so the knowledge gained will work
for you professionally for years to come.
Ion sports a generous programming keypad, dedicated
encoders for non-intensity parameter control, a grand
master and blackout button, as well as a master split
fader. For more hands on control, Ion hosts up to
six USB fader wings – the 1x20, 2x10 and 2x20
- for a total of 240 additional submasters with paging
controls. The desk can support one or two external
high-resolution DVI monitors, which can also be touchscreens.
Ion is available in three basic configurations –1024
outputs, 1536 outputs or 2048 outputs. Each of these
versions supports channel numbering from 1 – 5000.
A networked Ion system can support four discrete
control inputs, including a combination of Ion desks,
Ion Remote Processor Units - for synchronized backup
or stand-alone lighting applications, Net3 Remote
Video Interfaces or PC’s running the Eos Client
Software. Remote control is also provided with the
Net3 Radio Focus Remote.
Use Ion in a stand-alone system or as a remote programming
station for an Eos system. When Ion is used as a
client in an Eos system, it supports the full output
of that host Eos system.
