Barco EC-210 Large Event Controller

With upgraded processing, an external input, and the option for a third external display, the EC-210 event controller, successor of the EC-200, brings faster programing to your event. Enjoy the ease-of-use of its smaller sibling, the EC-50, with syntax-based programming methodology that accelerates Event Master’s trademark streamlined operation. The result is a vastly simplified, more powerful controller for today’s large events.

Unique features

Compatible with the EX, S3-4K, and E2 Event Master Processors, the EC-210 is a purpose-built, stand-alone controller that launches directly into Event Master Toolset.  You can now have source, preset, layer, user key, cue and destination selection at your fingertips. The EC-210 comes fitted with a trackball, dedicated programming and operating sections, and two touchscreen displays. Switch sources live to program, select large groups of resources at the same time, and manipulate layers with ease. The extra external input means you are now able to have both the user interface and external video on the same control surface when space is tight.

Higher situational awareness

By adding an external display, you can monitor three different areas of the operating environment simultaneously, giving you the peace-of-mind and exceptional situational awareness required by intense shows. The EC-210 is a joy to run for everything from a tradeshow booth to large corporate events or music tours.
