Run the whole show from one screen
ECP folds the three things every event needs: sound, screens, and the mic into a single, no-scroll control panel built for live operation.
Single panel control
Sound, screens, and the mic on one no-scroll screen, built for live operation - so you never tab-hop or alt-tab in the middle of a show.
Supported media
Drive a separate Display Window with images, video, PDFs, PowerPoint, and web embeds with mirror preview, slide notes, and other advanced features
Announce page
Type a message straight onto the big screen, or route live and recorded mic with auto music ducking and a shared clock, stopwatch, and timer.
Full music & soundboard
A music queue spanning local files, YouTube, and Spotify, plus a shared soundboard, crossfade, loop modes, and starred one-click sounds.
- Opening Theme
- Interlude · YouTube
- Walk-on · Spotify
- Outro · Local
Breakpoints
Drop breakpoints on event defining slides to stop autoplay and prevent accidentally revealing important information early.
- Walk-in playlist
- Welcome speechBP
- Award reel
- Closing remarksBP
Exportable sessions
Save your entire show: queues, soundboard, media, settings, and notes
into a single portable .ecp file you can hand off or reopen
anywhere.
Free & open source
Built and maintained by Magma Labs. No accounts, no server, no fees browse the code, file issues, or grab a release on GitHub.
Audio, visuals & intercom unified into one browser-based control panel for live events.
One free tool instead of four paid ones
ECP overlaps with presentation/cue software, DJ software, and slide presenter views - but it's the only one that bundles slides, music, and intercom into a single free browser tab.
