Introduction

The Universal Fader Wings are peripheral devices that can expand the functionality of your ETC
Eos

, Cobalt

, Congo

, or Congo jr

lighting control system. Fader wings are

available in two different sizes: 2 x 10 (20 faders) and 2 x 20 (40 faders). Fader wings can be
physically attached to a console or they can stand alone and attach using a USB cable and an
external power supply. For information about the 1x20 fader wing, please see the Universal Fader
Wing - 1x20 Setup Guide, which is available for download from the ETC website at

www.etcconnect.com

.

Rules of Connection

.

Universal Fader Wings may be connected together and then connected to Eos, Eos Ti, Gio, Ion,
Cobalt, Congo, or Congo jr consoles using a USB cable. They may also be physically attached to
both Ion and Congo jr consoles. When attaching fader wings with a USB cable, one external power
supply must also be used.

Rule One

Eos Family

Your entire system is limited to a total of 300 faders per processor (Eos, Eos Ti, Gio, Ion, RPU, RVI).

Cobalt/Congo Family

Cobalt and Congo consoles support up to 80 Master Playback faders, 40 of which are built into the
console itself. Congo can support the connection of additional faders (up to two 2x10, or 1 2x20
wing, or the Master Playback Wing) via USB cable. The wing requires an external power supply
when used via USB cable.

Congo jr consoles can support up to a total of 80 Master Playback faders (console + wings), in any

combination of wings, as long as the total fader count is 80 or fewer.

N o t e :

The 2 x 10 and 2 x 20 Universal Fader Wings are compatible with Eos v1.3.1 or

higher (running on Eos, Eos Ti, Gio, Ion, Net3 RVI,

Eos RPU, or Nomad/Eos

Family Client or Offline Software in Eos, Gio, or Ion Mode, running on a PC. The

Mac OS is not supported).

Fader Wings are supported on Cobalt, Congo, and

Congo jr consoles with version 6.x.x software and above. The software is

available from the ETC website at

www.etcconnect.com

. Consult the user manual

and/or release notes of those control systems to determine the level of

compatibility and complete functionality of the wings within those systems.

C A U T I O N :

Disconnect power from your console before connecting or removing fader wings.

“Hot swapping” (connecting or disconnecting with a powered, running console) is

not advised and may cause data loss or other unexpected results.
