360 Ion Operations Manual
User ID and multi-console features
Set in Setup (see {Displays}, page 107), User ID is an Ion/Eos-specific identifier that can be set
uniquely for each Ion device or can be shared between multiple devices allowing for shared data
between consoles. The user ID can be set anywhere from 1 to 99.
Ion devices sharing User IDs will share certain data, while those with different IDs will not. Below
are the differences in multi-console data depending on User ID.
Data shared between Ion devices with the same User ID
• Command line
• Null channels in live
• Selected channels
• Filters
• Selected cue
• Live/blind mode
• Setup>desk settings
Data specific to the Ion device, regardless of User ID
• Current slider page
• Current encoder page
• Focus on displays without command line
• Display configuration (layout, format, visible parameters, flexichannel)
• Paging without changing selected target or channels
Data identical between all Ion devices, regardless of User ID
• All stage levels and edits
• All data stored in the show file
• Playback, submaster, and grandmaster contents and progress
The default User ID for any Ion device is 1. You may change this based on your preference to allow
or restrict the functionality described above.
Multi-console backup
Within an Ion system, you have the added bonus of show data backup. The backup on the system
will receive all show data updates and stage levels so that, in the event of a primary failure, the
backup will be capable of taking control of the system without a loss of show data or live output.
Saving occurs across the whole network.
Note:
After you have completed the setting changes described above, connect your Ion
device to the network and reboot the device.
