Zoe Media Server - Getting Started

It takes less than 5 minutes to set up Zoe Media Server with ETC Eos. Want proof? I created this (very short) video to illustrate how easy it is to configure Zoe and start controlling your stage projections directly from your lighting desk. Video isn't my preferred format

EOS Offset Macros

I'm not going start an entire series of EOS Macros posts (at least I don't intend to, I'll revise this statement when I post EOS Macros Tips #29 or something!) but a few people have commented on this set I use in every show

Selection Grid in Eos

This one is for all the MA3 fans or, specifically, a friend of mine who is an MA programmer but really missed Selection Grid when using Eos. Essentially this is a simple tool that runs on your Mac and connects to an ETC Eos based lighting console (or ETCnomad) on

EOS Timecode Emulator

As part of my ongoing development of CueCam [https://qcam.app/] we recently added support for timecode including Art-Net, MIDI, LTC, and ACN from ETC Response Gateways. The latter is particularly important as CueCam is used exclusively in environments with ETC Eos-based consoles and, in the professional world

CueCam and the Elephant in the (Vo)room

I recently launched CueCam [https://qcam.app] on the App Store you and the feedback I've had has been overwhelmingly positive, so thank you all. I wanted to address three criticisms I've received, some just genuinely inquisitive and one actually quite hostile accusing me of '

EOS CuePoints Companion

Some time ago, I built EOS Timecode Companion [https://rsmck.co.uk/blog/eos-osc-timecode-companion/] which transformed CSV files into instructions to Eos consoles, designed to make it easy to get timecode out of Cue Points into ETC Eos. Recently, I've revisited this app and made

Introducing CueCam for Eos

This is a tool I wrote for myself, and have improved on with others. It's now available on the App Store [https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/cuecam-for-eos/id6758520760] for download. The app is a free download, with a one-off purchase via in-app purchase

My ETCnomad Setup (2025)

A few people have asked about my ETCnomad setup, so I thought i'd put a little list here (together with, shamelessly, links that may earn me a tiny amount in referrals if you buy anything you see here!) Firstly, I do still really prefer a console (ideally an

Follow Me Faders...

(Or, how to cope with performers that wander about without a followspot on a budget) I've been dabbling in automatic followspots for a while, trying to make my own hacky solution as I don't have the budget for the likes of ZacTrack, Blacktrax, Follow-ME etc.

Contour Shuttle Pro for Eos...

I've used a Contour ShuttleXpress as an encoder for Eos [https://rsmck.co.uk/blog/contour-shuttle-express-etc-eos-osc/] for a while, and someone recently asked me if I could support the larger Shuttle PRO2... which offers more buttons that I don't know what

LaunchControl XL 3 for Eos?

As evidenced by my various posts on #techbodgery, and my design and development of lxkey [https://lxkey.co.uk/], I'm often dabbling with different ways to control lighting either in live environments or simply to make programming easier when I don't have a full console available.

Contour ShuttleXpress as EOS Encoder

Another classic bit of #techbodgery, a simple encoder option for ETCnomad (or an Element!) is the Contour Shuttle Xpress. This is a decent quality encoder that's priced about £50 (2024) aimed mainly at video editors but it works as a great encoder for other purposes so it was

EOS Timecode Companion

I often (well, reasonably often) work with timecode and ETC Eos. Update March 2026 There's a new version of this tool specifically for CuePoints that allows live real-time adjustment of the timeline. Eos CuePoints Companion [https://rsmck.co.uk/blog/eos-cuepoints-companion/]. I've kept

WLED and ETC Eos

TL;DR - At the time of writing this there is no official profile for the WLED ESP-based LED controller, so I've put this one here so I can find it again (and for anyone else who needs one)https://rmlx.co.uk/eos_wled_fx_rgb.zip
