Features & Capabilities

The iRFR from ETC provides a remote for any Eos family lighting system (Eos, Eos Ti, Gio, Gio @5, Ion, Element and Eos/Ion Remote Processors). This application requires Eos family software 2.6 or higher on the connected lighting system. Eos 3.0 or higher is required for Focus Wand Please note the iRFR is NOT support by Cobalt.

The iRFR supports most features needed for programming and playback. It does not support remote patching and system configuration. A tab-based system changes the displays from the full keyboard, moving light controls, direct selects, playback tools and a cue list. Security controls prevent un-authorized access to a lighting system.

User Reviews

Users praise iRFR for letting them control ETC EOS/Nomad setups from an iPad/iPhone, saving travel time and enabling on-stage roaming. The app is described as easy to use, with fast response, and an updated, more polished UI after recent updates. However, persistent issues include connectivity timeouts and random disconnections, especially over Wi‑Fi, with users unable to reconnect easily or at all. Many want essential features like patching fixtures and recording cues, plus ongoing compatibility fixes for newer hardware/OS versions and screen layouts. Despite these, many find it a valuable, time-saving tool when it works.

Pros

Saves time by reducing trips to the lighting console and enables roaming control on stage.
Easy to use with fast response times and a polished UI update.
Works with ETC EOS/Nomad setups, allowing many functions to run from an iPad/iPhone.
Regular updates improve the look and feel of the app.

Cons

Connectivity issues: frequent Wi‑Fi timeouts and disconnections, with difficult reconnection.
Lacks essential features like fixture patching and cue recording, limiting its use as a full console replacement.
Compatibility and stability can be hit-or-miss with newer consoles/OS versions (e.g., Ion compatibility, iOS updates).
Layout and UI issues on newer devices (e.g., iPhone X safe areas) not fully addressed.

Recent reviews

Forced to by it because ETC did away with legacy apps (should be free if you bought classic) made the move because TouchOSC doesn’t have key click or haptic, this new app is quirky and doesn’t have key click or haptic. Not sure why it’s not an option. Guess I’ll go back to TouchOSC till ETC finds a way to not allow it.

If you’re running of ETC this is awesome. Saves time without having to run back and forth between your board and your fixtures.

My iPad wont connect to my board. My boss’s android connects no problem. I have the same IP address and connections as before. Does anyone have any ideas?
