The Pyrodigital Raptor (FC-E) is a compact, cost effective field controller, perfect for smaller shows and displays with simplified operation. The Raptor (FC-E) is the smaller brother of the FC-A Field Controller. The Raptor (FC-E) has the same firing power as the legacy FC-3 and it costs approximately a quarter of the FC-A. The Raptor (FC-E) is fully compatible with all existing Pyrodigital Firing Modules. The Raptor (FC-E) was designed for intuitive operation. This controller makes it simple for operators to fire manual or automatic programs and even makes it easy to check continuity. The Raptor (FC-E) provides two firing tables with a maximum of 640 shots each. The Raptor (FC-E) can even be synchronized to Pyrodigitial PD-FSK timecode through an external modem. With the Raptor (FC-E) you can control up to 40 Pyrodigital firing modules using two script tables and fire your show manually, fire a scripted show manually, or auto fire your scripted show using the internal clock.

Outstanding on everything -- packaging, case, looks, operation, firmware ... everything. I really didn't know what to expect, but If you know how to operate any PD FC, then you already know how to operate the Raptor. I immediately felt completely at home and familiar with the Raptor. The Raptor truly IS a "Mini Field Controller" I am quite impressed! SUPERB JOB -- Congratulations on an extreme masterpiece of engineering! -- Ken Nixon, the originator of Pyrodigital
