ABOUT THE NEO COMPACT 10 PC WING
The STRAND NEO Compact 10 PC Wing is a 10 fader USB wing designed to work with a PC running Strand
NEO PC software. With quality-built hardware and a small footprint, the NEO Compact 10 PC Wing can be used
anywhere. Thanks to the power of NEO PC, users get the full power of NEO from their own computer, with the
ability to connect to devices over a DMX Ethernet lighting network or with the DMX connectors on the PC Wing.
Because the Compact 10 PC Wing oers a true 0-10 button numeric keypad, programming can be performed
quickly and easily. Thanks to the internal touchscreen, users can quickly select palettes and groups, while using
NEO PC to select fixtures, access eects, and manipulate the cue list.
NOTE: Monitors, cables and other accessories are not included and are sold separately. For available accesso-
ries, please contact you local Authorized Strand Lighting Dealer. A list of Authorized Dealers is located on the
Strand Lighting web site at www.strandlighting.com.
Refer to the product datasheet for a complete list of accessories and technical specifications.
