General

Event Master controllers are dedicated hardware consoles specifically designed to support the Event Master series processors, devices, and systems created from several of them. They run the Event Master Toolset Software (EMTS) and the EC-200 on an industrial operating system with optimized hardware. They include tactile operation style with buttons and touchscreen displays, allowing for easy and direct control of the Event Master series processors..

There are three models of Event Master controller:

EC-30 (compact controller).
EC-50 (small controller).
EC-200/EC-210 (large controller).

The EC-30 is the most compact version of the EC-series Event Master controllers. As an extension of the EMTS, the EC-30 provides essential selections for sources, presets, layers, and destinations. The EC-30 connects as a USB peripheral to an existing Event Master control computer.

The EC-50 is a small form factor, stand-alone control surface that also incorporates a 15-inch full HD touch screen. Its button layout is the same as the left side of the EC-200/EC-210 controller, and it has the same functions as the left side of the EC-200/EC-210. The EC-50 requires a USB host connection to a computer running the EMTS.

The Event Master EC-200/EC-210 controller is a dedicated hardware console specifically designed to support Event Master series processors and devices. It runs the EMTS on a purpose built, internal computer and can connect directly to the Event Master devices on the network.
