Cobalt v8.0, a major release for the platform, is now available from the ETC website.
Key features of the update include:
- Magic Sheets (formerly Channel Layouts) have been upgraded to match the Eos family user interface, with improvements to colour and line, font control, image import, and Image Effect layout integration.
- Cobalt show files will now be stored as archive files containing the show itself and any images imported for Magic Sheets
- Revamped navigation using reconfigurable, Eos-style tabs. Screen configurations may be recorded for quick recall.
- Improved networking and synchronization
- New “Clone” tool for adding fixtures to a show file
Important note: Cobalt v8.0 software is NOT compatible with Windows XP based consoles, including Congo senior and older oldest Congo jr/Congo Kid consoles.
Owners of older Congo jr/Congo Kid consoles may contact ETC Technical Services or their local dealer and provide their console serial number to explore Win7 upgrade options.
Congo senior consoles can’t be upgraded.
