ET1S Playback and Output Features
The ET1S introduction in the linked specification lists one 4K × 2K at 60 Hz output, Kompass FX1, up to 4 simultaneous layers plus 1 audio layer, and up to 1024 partitions from a single output. The output arrangement includes 1 DP 1.2, 4 HDMI 1.3 connectors together copying the DP output content, and 1 HDMI 2.0 copying that content. These are not six independent 4K outputs.
ET1S media features include videos, images, audio, PowerPoint up to 1080p, NDI, streaming media, website and text sources. Media library sorting and batch import, adjustable width/height/priority, program auto-jump, playback-progress management, crossfade transitions, layer masking and cropping, and one-click fade-to-black support program preparation and operation.
The built-in software can start with the system and automatically play programs. The ET1S document also lists hardware decoding, firmware updates and VICP visual control.
Synchronization and Backup by Configuration
The existing chart lists dual-machine hot backup as unsupported for ET1S, ET1S-500, ET2S and ET4S(P2). It lists support for ET4S(A4) with an additional sync card and for both ET16S configurations. Multi-machine frame synchronization is listed for ET4S(A4), ET16S(2A4) and ET16S(3A4), but not for ET1S, ET1S-500, ET2S or ET4S(P2).
Multi-machine cascading is listed across the range; ET4S(A4) has an additional sync-card condition in the chart. Tablet visual control and external central control are also listed. Check the required sync hardware and chosen configuration together.
