ETC Nomad 1024 Output Kit (4380A1011)

Hopping from gig to gig and can’t bring your console with you? Doing the lighting in a theater whose desk has seen better days? That’s where Nomad control comes in. Small enough to fit on your keychain, Nomad plugs into your computer and opens up the power of both Cobalt and Eos/Element software, so you can program and run shows anywhere.

Nomad 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 7/8, or natively on a Mac (Intel processor) running OS X (Mavericks). When it’s a primary or a backup, Nomad’s system output equals that of the device with the lowest number of outputs. When it’s a client, Nomad’s output capacity is ignored.

There are four output counts to choose from: Nomad 256 (1/2 universe), Nomad 1024 (1024 outputs) and Nomad 1536 (1536 outputs) – which can be field-upgraded without any hardware changes – and Nomad 2048 (2048 outputs).
