ETC: Introduces MCX Node for Foundation Controllers
Contributing member ETC’s rigging division recently added the MCX Node to its portfolio.
The MCX Node is an Ethernet-based I/O accessory for ETC’s Foundation controller that facilitates communication between Foundation and connected hoists, increasing the standard 48-axis capacity to 96 axes of control to be used with motorized hoists and curtain motors.
Each Node supports 48 axes of control. When using a 1RU rack-mount kit, two MCX Nodes can be installed per system, totaling 96 axes of control.
The Node uses the same topology as all preexisting Foundation, QuickTouch and QuickTouch+ controllers.
