Eos Remote Processor Unit (RPU3)

• Discontinued and replaced by the Eos Apex Processor in March 2022.  Need service for your existing hardware? Send us an email!

ETC's Eos RPU3 can provide primary and backup control in Ti, Eos, Gio and Gio @5 control systems, or it can be used as a stand-alone lighting playback unit.  A 2U device, it can be mounted into 19" equipment racks or road cases.

The front of the RPU3 includes a power switch, USB port and 20 user-programmable buttons with backlit labels for frequently used functions.  The buttons have default mapping, including Live, Blind, Go, Stop/Back and paging controls, and can be reprogrammed for your system's individual requirements.  There are 3 Display port connectors on the RPU3, which works with single- or multi-touch displays.  The RPU3 comes with two individually-configured, power-sourcing network ports, and there are four USB ports on the back panel.  It has local I/O, including two DMX ports, MIDI In/Out, and a remote trigger.
