In this training video, we'll show you how to hook up ETC Eos Consoles using MTC (MIDI Timecode) from Reaper using loopMIDI on a Windows 10 PC. This technique can also be used with EOS Consoles including the Ion XE's built in MIDI port. Timecode is one of the most common ways to program tightly synchronized lighting for your show from concert to musicals to house of worship. This includes macros used for timecode programming sessions.

This is part of a series on timecode. Check out our other videos including using Eos with Ableton, as well as CuePoints (a QLab alternative for Mac users). Along with best practices and tips/tricks for programming and performance.
