Hopping from gig to gig and can't bring your console with you?  Doing the lighting in a venue whose desk has seen better days?  That's where ETCnomad control comes in.  Small enough to fit on your keychain, ETCnomad plugs into your computer and opens up the power of Eos & Hog 4 PC software, so you can program and run shows anywhere.

ETCnomad can serve as a primary controller, a backup, or a client device - or work offline entirely - operating on either a PC platform running Microsoft Windows 7 or higher, or natively on macOS Mojave or later.  Available in either a base or unlocked version, the base unit supports 1024 outputs¹ while the unlocked version supports 6144.
