The familiar Eos Family programming keypad has been enhanced
Europe/USA - ETC has unveiled the Eos Apex, a new lighting control desk from its Eos line.
“With more buttons, encoders and playbacks than ever before, Eos Apex makes fast, hands-on programming a breeze - all while maintaining the familiar, sophisticated look and feel that users of the family love,” says ETC.
There are three models, with five, 10 and 20 motorized playbacks respectively, all featuring 24K output and 4K multi-touch displays with a 160° viewing angle. Other common features include an ergonomic wristrest, book lights built into the sides of the desk, hand-holds for easy carrying, and drawers and charging ports.
The programming surface offers access to programmers’ most-used tools, right on the face panel. The familiar Eos Family programming keypad has been enhanced with a touchscreen that thumps with haptic feedback when you press your soft keys or mapped content. Eos Apex also introduces customisable Target Keys for Direct Selects, which boast individual OLED displays that can be customized with images, icons and text.
The encoder area from the Eos Ti console has been expanded to include eight mini-encoders and a navigation dial to easily switch between parameters. Besides the playbacks on each console, there is a separately-mappable scroll wheel for on-the-fly programming.
Meanwhile, the Eos Apex Processor provides the power of an Eos Apex console in a portable, rack-mountable box that makes an ideal primary or backup controller or remote programming station.
