There are several plug-in hardware units available. The Nano, being the smallest, is about the size of a cigarette box and plugs into the USB port, giving the user up to 256 channels of control and once unplugged from the PC the device can act as a 32 channel stand-alone replay unit. The Twilight is the next unit up, with 512 channels, and so with eight twilight units and a USB hub up to 4096 channels can be controlled by one e:cue PC. The programming interface, or fader unit, comprises 13 faders, 73 keys and five encoders allowing fast programming by traditional means, and being around the same size as a laptop allows a complete lighting control system to be carried around in a bag.
The largest in the range is the Media Engine, which is a fully programmable DMX show control device. Integration with MP3 audio and other external playback devices such as hard disc recorders, DVDs etc, allows incredible flexibility coupled with it's Ethernet port.
e-cue can be found on stand J11.
