Barco brings the power of Event Master to smaller events and installations

Barco brings the power of Event Master to smaller events and installations Kortrijk, Belgium, 16 June 2017 - Event Master has become the industry standard for running high quality shows and events thanks to its power, flexibility and situational awareness. With the new EC-30, Barco brings the same combination of benefits to smaller events and presentations.

Once operators discovered the power and flexibility of Event Master controllers, there was no turning back. The EC-200 and EC-50 have become a most-wanted addition to every event. There are times, however, when budget and space are the deciding factors. Recently, Barco has received requests for a more compact controller for events and installations that need a small operator footprint. Aaron Raymond of Mass AV was one of these customers. As a user of the full line of Event Master products, I truly appreciate the advanced programming tools of the EC-200 Controller, he says. But, when we replaced our legacy single-output switchers with S3-Jr processors, I needed a controller that fit that lower price point, and allowed more flexibility in the cramped quarters of a small-show control area. I approached Barco with the idea and was happy to collaborate.

The new EC-30 delivers on that promise, offering the most crucial features for everything from a tradeshow booth to a large corporate event, or even a music tour. After seeing the final product, Raymond was impressed, The EC-30 is a perfect fit for those smaller shows, with access to all the critical functions in a much smaller footprint, and it packages efficiently for transport.

What operators get with the EC-30 is a truly compact surface and simplified workflow, while still providing the trademark fingertip control. The EC-30 is an extension of the Event Master toolset, so operators can rely on the essential selections for sources, presets, user keys, layers and destinations. As a USB peripheral added to an existing Event Master control computer, it is the most cost-effective and compact alternative to a full-sized controller.
