ETCnomad users value the portability of their lighting systems, but
sometimes the fast paced production world calls for more than virtual
keyboards and X-key controls. Luckily, ETC has a solution waiting in the
wings. Enter the new EosR and CobaltR Programming Wings: two affordable,
portable accessories that bring new programming power to tech tables,
backstage remotes and the road.

Programming Wings can fly wherever you do
Now on-the-road control need not be left to chance. The new ETC Eos
Programming Wing provides a portable base for the programmer on the move,
allowing users to travel with physical control surfaces to supplement their
ETCnomad Puck or PC/Mac-based systems. The Programming Wings fit in
dedicated, robust flight cases that can be easily checked as luggage. In
addition to two powered USB ports, the Wings have a third, recessed port to
store and secure the ETCnomad dongle.

The Programming Wings use the same programming layouts as the GioR and
Cobalt 10 face panels, so users can transition to the road without altering
their workflows or hunting for keys. The Programming Wings provide the
traveling technician with all the comforts of home. Each wing contains
playback and fader controls, parameter encoders and level and rate controls,
along with DMX512-A/RDM and MIDI In/Out outputs, a Contact Closure Trigger,
and Littlelite connections.

Use a Wing as a programming remote with RPUs, RVIs and Cobalt Light Servers
The Programming Wings are not just for lighting nomads. Wings are
VESA-mountable for temporary or permanent installation backstage, in a rack
or on a tech table. The Programming Wings can be connected to an Eos/Ion RPU
(Remote Processor Unit), RVI, RVI3 (Remote Video Interface) or a Cobalt
Light Server to create a remote programming interface wherever one is
needed. Measuring approximately 50cm x 36cm and weighing in at 4.3kg, the
Wings can easily be carried from room to room or packed away when tech is
over.

The release of the Programming Wings goes hand in hand with the upcoming Eos
v2.3 and Cobalt v7.2 software updates, which enable the functionality of the
new hardware, along with a host of other new features, including advanced
colour control in Eos and the Beat Boss speed controller in Cobalt. The
Programming Wings are compatible with devices running Windows 7 or higher or
Macs with OSX Mavericks or higher.
