01 SMART PANELThe SmartPanel enables the management of 48 input busses, outputs and/or VCAs via 12 rotary knobs available across four layers. Any function may be assigned to any knob. A 5th layer called “FX Edit” allows you to adjust up to 48 parameters of the plug-in currently in use.

02 ROTARYKNOBA rotary knob above each fader han-dles panoramic gain control, or in-deed any other function assigned to it by the user.

06 IDEach channel has an ID LED enabling you to see at a glance, depending on the colour of the light, what bus or function has been assi-gned to that channel.

07 FADERS “Touch Sensitive”faders are “Touch Sensi-tive” for extremely rapid channel designation by a simple touch.

10 USBA USB port is available on the control surface for import/export of show configurations as well as software and firmware updates.

08DYNAMICVU METERThree VU meters on the control surface provide a clear visualisation of the dynamics.

NOVAEclipse’s management software, NOVA, is designed to provide you with maximum amount of information on the state of your mix via an elegant modern graphic user interface.

It enables instant access to all of the conso-le’s configuration via a number of patch-grids. A trackball situated to the right of the touchscreen in addition to a trackball on the keyboard offer fast and easy access to the va-rious menus and parameters of the software.

NOVA may be used offline on any PC running Windows XP. It is also possible to replace the console’s internal computer with an external PC.

The SmartPanel tab enables you to transfer your SmartPanel mix directly onto the 48 faders of the console.

The pre-amp gain and the digital input gain is available on the main screen.

03 TRIMyou can decide on the fly whether you want to adjust the analog gain of the preamps or if you want to adjust it digitally (+/-16dB), which would enable you to have independent gain control if the remote audio racks are being shared by several consoles.

05 USER DEFINEDThe “User-Defined” section provides six VU meters, four rotary knobs with ID light, and four switches with ID light. The user can assign the function of his choice to any of these controls.

04 RECORDING & PB CONTROLA navigation bar and a time code display are available on the control surface for rapid access to recording and playback functions. You can also store and recall CUE memories. The “Desk Manager” and “REC Manager” switches enable to flip from the mix screen to the recording screen at any time. Eclipse is a hugely powerful production tool. Playing back the recordings can help you finalize your sound-checks, without the musicians! That’s what we call “Virtual Sound-check”.

M.A.R.S(Multitrack Audio Recording Sytem)

The M.A.R.S. window within NOVA offers fast and easy set-up. A simple touch of the screen enables or disables the tracks represented by squares in which the VU meters indicate signal presence.

09 LINKThe LINK function enables you to link different para-meters between channels very quickly and easily directly from the control surface.

Multi-purposeEclipse is a powerful mixing and recording console with the flexibility to adapt to any situation and to the requirements of any sound engineer, be it at Front of House, monitors or in an OB van. The console is equipped with a DSP engine which enables you to mix up to 104 inputs simultaneously on 48 mix busses among the 320 inputs and outputs that are available both on the console and via the audio racks.

Simple and flexibleEclipse comes with fully processed, configurable balanced XLR outputs as standard. You can choose between analog, AES or ADAT over fiber optic. The processing comprises a dynamic section (gate & compressor), a 4-band parametric EQ, a 31-band graphic EQ and a delay adjustable up to 460m with variable output level.

High quality internal effectsThe internal effects from VB Audio can be used either via the aux sends or as inserts on the console busses. They provide an impressive range of high quality effects which are available as a list of plug-ins. The SmartPanel contains a dedicated layer which enables you to adjust all of the effects parameters using the rotary knobs.

Onboard multitrack recordingThe M.A.R.S. option includes a built-in 64-track recorder which records directly onto a hard disk plugged into the back of the console. A navigation bar and a time code module are available on the control surface for rapid access to recording and playback functions.

Stage BoxesUp to five remote audio racks may be connected to Eclipse via CAT5, coaxial or fiber optic cable. The desk is supplied with an EtherSound in-terface as standard, which enables you to exploit up to 64 I/Os on an Ethersound network.

Local I/Os64 inputs and outputs are available at the rear of the console. There are six slots which will accept all INNOVASON I/O and effects modules, and a further sixteen balanced line I/Os are available on four SubD connectors.

RelaxFor complete peace of mind, Eclipse is supplied complete with a fully redundant power supply as standard.

Sonic ExcellenceWhat can we say... Eclipse sounds fan-tastic!

The control surface is furnished with 48 faders and 48 fully configurable rotary knobs (spread over four layers). The “SmartFAD” concept which is embedded in the new “SmartPanel” on Eclipse takes the flexibility and personalisation of the console to the next level.
