Eos Programming Wing

Hi,

The Eos Programming wing has four dmx (rdm capable) built in ports. But if you want more than 4 universes of local dmx outputs you can buy a gadget II (also rdm capable).  To unlock universes, you need a the nomad key. (The nomad key and gadget II both work w/ hog 4) You can use your own computer to with a nomad key and programming wings. The Eos nomad puck is just a dedicated nuc mini computer that runs the eos/hog4 software that has a built in nomad key. The Eos Programming wing is different than the keypad of the hog4 console line but if you want a programming wing for hog4 there is the hoglet 4.

Thank you Samkphx! It makes a lot more sense now. But the one thing that I am still wondering about is if I got a Eos programming wing and a key, would I be able to run hog 4 just on my pc and only use the wing as an output device or would I have to buy a gadget to do that?

Thanks,

Campbell

Hi Campbell,

I'm not so sure about that. I just own a nomad key and a gadget II so I honestly don't know. That's a good question for the High End Systems Forum.

Hi Sam,

Thank you! I will ask them. In my research (literally two minutes ago), I just came up with another question that you probably know of the answer to owning a gadget II. If I were to buy a gadget II does it come with a key or do I have to buy that separately?

You have to buy the dongle separately, there are two versions with 1k or 6k parameter count.

Thank you
