Eos Apex Processor

The Eos Apex Processor carries the same power as Apex consoles, in a 2U 19-inch rack mount unit. It includes the same one- and ten-gigabit Ethernet connections as Apex consoles, making it a great choice to drive a high-powered rig on its own, or serve as a backup to keep large systems running safely.  You can even monitor and interact with your system using the built-in haptic touchscreen.  Or make the Eos Apex Processor into a workstation by adding USB-connectable devices - including touchscreens, Eos Fader Wings, and the Eos Programming Wing.

Eos Apex Processor Features

• 48 DMX universes with no co-processing
• Full Eos Apex-class power in a 19" rack, use as primary or backup
• 5-inch high-resolution front panel display, with multi-touch and haptic touch feedback
• Supports three external high resolution Display Port monitors or touchscreens
• 4 Gigabit EtherCon RJ45 PoE++ ports
• 2 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports
• sACN and Art-Net network output protocols
• 8 USB Ports (4 USB-A, 4 USB-C)
• Up to three fader wings may be used
• Does not include 5-pin DMX outputs.  If your use case requires 5-pin DMX output at the processor, make sure to add a USB Gadget II or network gateway.

Eos Family Features

• Approachable yet powerful syntax for programmers of every level
• Award-winning color controls, including six Color Pickers and a Gel Picker for color mixing.
• Custom-design your control interface using Magic Sheets, with topographical or abstract layouts.  Full interaction with the command line allows command instructions - from the simplest and most immediate to the most complex - accessed from a mouse or single- or multi-touch displays.
• Augment3d 3D programming and visualization environment.
• Virtual Media Server function for pixel-mapping
• Timecode and automation integration
• Show file compatibility with the entire Eos Family, from the Eos Apex 20 down to the Element 2² and ETCnomad.
• Three user-definable workspaces per monitor, each with discrete split-screen controls, frame management, and snapshots.
• Client/server networking and synchronized backup
• Client and Offline programming on PC³ and Mac³ via ETCnomad
• 99 discrete online users with partitioned control
• 32,768 Control Channels (Fixtures)⁴
• 10,000 Cues and 999 Cue Lists
• 200 Active Playbacks and 999 Submasters
• 100 10-Fader Pages for Playbacks and Submasters
• 1,000 each of Presets, Palettes, Groups, Effects, Snapshots, Curves, and Color Paths
• 99,999 Macros
• ² The Element 2 does not support Multiple Cue Lists or more than one active playback.  Additionally, fader wings are not supported.
• ³ PC requires Windows 10 or higher. Mac requires macOS Mojave or later.  The ETCnomad software is free for offline programming or "mirror mode", but requires a dongle to act as a client.
• ⁴ The console is still limited by the number of DMX universes/outputs, thus you may not be able to use all these channels.
