ETC Puck

Enjoy the concept of PC-based lighting control, but worry about the risk?  Don't want your laptop to walk away from a venue?  Concerned that someone on your crew would try to play video games or browse the Internet when they should be programming?  Then you need ETC Puck.

This ETC-provided and supported 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.  ETC Puck also makes a very cost-effective, highly portable Remote Video Interface.  This is a Windows 10 unit; as such, multi-touch displays are supported.  ETC Puck can serve as a primary, backup or client device, and it can also work offline.
