Europe/USA - ETC has announced a new addition to the Eos Apex family with the launch of the Eos Apex FP. Featuring the same programming surface and software as an Apex 5, minus the built-in display, the Apex FP is designed for those seeking a console that is just as powerful as it is adaptable.
The Eos Apex FP allows users to incorporate their display, using the two 16mm (5/8 in) baby pin ports to mount accessories such as monitors, tablets, laptops, and cameras. Alongside the flexible design is an array of features including customisable OLED Target keys for direct selects, reconfigurable inputs and outputs, six encoders, and one bank of RGB-backlit target keys.
Apex consoles are built with flexibility in mind, allowing you to mix and match your DMX and show control ports on a per-show basis using customisable widgets. In addition to standard etherCON Gigabit connections, the Apex FP also features SFP+ ports that are compatible with the latest high-speed copper and fibre networks. The Eos Apex FP provides 24K output, allowing them to control complex rigs with ease.
The Eos Apex FP is powered by Eos control software. Features include industry-leading colour control tools, Magic Sheets for custom programming and displays, Augment3d 3D programming and visualisation environment, and Virtual Media Server function for pixel-mapping.
“With the release of the Apex FP, users who demand the highest calibre of control, but may have space or portability constraints, now have another great option in the Eos Family of entertainment controls,” says product manager Nick Gonsman.
