Sanity Check on New Cobalt/Nomad System

Greetings, I'm in the process of setting up a new system to run Cobalt via Nomad and wanted to get a sanity check on this to make sure I'm not missing anything or making any incorrect assumptions.

I've already got my 12 Universe Key for Nomad along with a Universal Fader Wing - both of which previously ran on a ThinkPad laptop which finally gave out this year.  My goal is to replace the PC with an iMac (likely 21.5") since the rest of my business computers/tablets are Apple...plus that way I can double-purpose with QLab.  Since to my understanding the Universal Fader Wing can only be used with Cobalt on Windows I'd Boot Camp the iMac to run Nomad on Windows 10 with the wing and either ArtNet or my Gadget II for DMX output. 

My question - does anyone see any issues with carrying out the above plan?  Namely I'm looking for unseen compatibility issues, but any input will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

-Jeff

  • As stated, it works over windows bootcamp... but then you loose the ability to use Qlab and Cobalt. I would look in the the option to get a NUC or another not so expensive computer for Nomad so that you can run Cobalt and Qlab at the same time. It is not so handy with two softwares you payed for that works good together and you can't use them at the same time.

    And with it on a pc you can look at HOG4 and EOS (Eos is mac to, but not HOG4) to learn new things for the day Cobalt is no more. All three softwares have good OSC options and specially Eos have some nice premade apps for ipads/Tablets and phones like oscRFR so you can test without the need for a wing..
