Enjoy the concept of PC-based lighting control, but worry about the risk? Don't want your laptop to walk away from a venue? Crew playing video games or browsing the Internet when they should be programming? Then you need Nomad Puck™. The ETC Nomad Puck mini-computer is locked down, so no software other than ETC applications can be installed, giving you peace of mind that your device is safe, secure and used only for your shows.
It's like having three consoles in one: With Nomad Puck, you don't have to choose between the Eos, Cobalt, or Hog 4 PC families, because it runs all platforms. You can quickly and easily switch from platform to platform. A small but powerful control device, Puck has one HDMI video port (DVI adapters can be used if needed), one Mini Display Port (Mini DP to HDMI adaptor included), one network port and four USB ports. This is a Windows 7 unit; as such, multi-touch displays are supported.
A hat trick of control: Nomad Puck can serve as a primary, backup, or client device, and it can also work offline. When you use it as a primary or backup, its system output is determined by the device with the lowest output configuration. When it's connected as a client, the output capacity of Puck is ignored.
The ETC Nomad Puck Base version offered here provides 1024 outputs when used with EOS Version 2.9. Earlier versions of EOS will only support 512 outputs.
