- Start date
@gafftaper and myself will be at USITT, if there's anything you wanna see up close or get an answer on, let us know.
Street price and availability.
I don't know about you, but I always start my livestream events 30 minutes early so people at home can make sure their preferred viewing method is working and audio is coming through. Fortunately, when you re-watch a live event, you can pick your starting point.
Instilling good domestic habits benefits all of LX, Mark!

Well sure, but the platform doesn't permit trimming that off after Live?
crap, even Vimeo's got that right by now.
I've always wondered about where ETC's larger desks find homes. I've always thought when you get to larger environments a programmer based desk makes way more sense. I'm sure the smallest version of this desk will find its way on most broadways after being programmed on the larger desks.

I'm wondering, Foot, whether they aren't trying to expand even further their approach to live concert/busking with these desks; the things they've grown seem to me to lean in that direction...
They're beautiful, but I not only don't have $80k, it wouldn't even fit on our LX table. And moving it out for tech...

Remember that part of the ETC got with the purchase of High End Systems was the Hog series of consoles and their workflows. I'm a NoizeBoy (is that sexist? IDK) so what the Lampies do with their consoles is mostly arcane to me, but when lights got "intelligent", Hog pretty much ruled the music concert market until the Grand MA arrived. Several competitors (a couple of which are still around) but little market penetration for most.
I see @gafftaper 's point about more flex, and understand @aeh20s observation of existing owner/user reactions. ETC still has brand/model options for those who do not need what the Apex can do. I don't know if the Apex will be a cash cow for ETC but I fully get why it's a product and I expect ETC will sell a few.
ps: suggested names for small Hog consoles - Bacon and Sausage.

Ask @jfleenor about DFD's Overdrive Boxes for HogII.
Most of the "new" features on the apex look like they started on the congo to me, actually, not the hog. Its a nice incremental upgrade of hardware with some strange choices--six NICs make no sense with current offerings, I'm curious if etc has software modifications in mind that will make this more relevantRemember that part of the ETC got with the purchase of High End Systems was the Hog series of consoles and their workflows.
