Etc Gio / Nomad & Stream Deck

My best solution for using a streamdeck with Eos is by using a networked raspberry pi running Companion, sending OSC to Eos. It's not ideal, but until a streamdeck with a "hardware mode" exists, this is probably the most streamlined solution.

yeah, I bite the bullet and just went out and bought one. In fact I just use companion with Stream Deck sending OSC thru it. It works great. I wish I would’ve bought one ages again. its a great piece of kit on my desk in my home studio!

How do you set this up in companion?

There is a companion plugin called ETC EOS that you can load into companion, then you simply point it to your Console or Nomad IP address. You'll need to enable OSC in the EOS Setup and ensure the port numbers match.

Hi,Can you give me a more detailed explanation.  I have downloaded the companion folder.  What's next?

Does the companion folder need to go anywhere or do anything? Where do I find the ETC EOS plugin to put into companion.   I have followed the README.md and HELp.md files.  It just seems like I am missing a step.   Thanks.

After you download Companion from Bitfocus, install it on your computer like you do any program. When you open the program (after installing it) you will have the option to Launch GUI -- this will open a web browser. On the connections tab, click on "Add Connection" under there you'll see an option for etc-eos, "add" that connection. You'll be prompted for the IP address for the EOS console/nomad. And then save that. Under the "buttons" tab, click on any available button and then create a new regular button. Under "press action" click brose, and you'll see a list of typical EOS commands, such as RUN CUE, where you'll enter the cue list and cue number. There are many more options available. You can use Companion with or without a Streamdeck -- of course the Streamdeck hardware is nice to have physical buttons, but you can use Companion directly through a web browser as well.
