ETC Expands Apex Lineup with Release of Apex FPETC has a new addition to the Eos Apex family: Eos Apex FP. Featuring the same programming surface and software as an Apex 5, minus the built-in display, it allows users to incorporate their displays, using the two 5/8" baby pin ports to mount accessories such as monitors, tablets, laptops, and cameras. Alongside the flexible design is an array of features, including customizable OLED target keys for your direct selects, reconfigurable inputs and outputs, six encoders, and one bank of RGB-backlit target keys. Apex consoles are built with flexibility in mind, the company says, allowing users to mix and match DMX and show control ports on a per-show basis using customizable 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 fiber networks. It provides 24K output, allowing control of complex rigs. The Apex FP has the same features as other Eos Family consoles, including color control tools, magic sheets for custom programming and displays, Augment3d 3D programming and visualization environment, and a virtual media server function for pixel-mapping. "With the release of the Apex FP, users who demand the highest caliber 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.
