Ticket scanning in the hospitality sector is also exactly one of the use cases Zebra has in mind with the EC50/EC55. If you have ever stood at an entrance gate to an event and had to watch a staff member spending minutes scanning a barcode with a smartphone camera, you will recognize and agree on this immediately. Scanning with a dedicated module is many times more effective than scanning with the camera of a device. In addition to that, there’s a version with a scan module and one without. Not only in terms of RAM and storage capacity (more on this later), which is common practice in the world of smartphones. The EC55 that we received for testing from Zebra also has several versions. The difference between the two models is that the EC50 is wifi-only, the EC55 has LTE, in addition to wifi. The Zebra EC50 and EC55 are nearly identical devices. The company has recently added the EC50 and EC55 to its portfolio. However, in environments where you need to do a lot of scanning, there is now a product from Zebra Technologies, or rather there are several. Then you can look to vendors of ruggedized devices like Samsung with the XCover line, or go for a Cat device.

The TRAKTOR Pro software is a well-rounded program that fits experienced and professional DJs the most. The main issue with Traktor Pro is that Native Instruments’ DJ controller (Traktor Kontrol) only works with the latest versions of Windows, leaving macOS users out of the picture.
