Control (workflow)
Controlling channels, levels and moving device parameters is very straightforward. The
default setting is to work in "Live" which is the sum of all playbacks. Intensities are added to
live in the A field of the main playback.
Command Syntax
The whole command structure of Congo is designed to get you from point A to point B with
as few keystrokes as possible. Basically, there is no function or feature that involves more
than two key presses (besides numbers).
The structure is simple
• Press a key
• Hold a key and press another key.
When a number is required, simply enter it before either of the key combinations above.
See Channels - Command Syntax .
Channel "handles"
Regardless if a lighting instrument is a conventional light, or some kind of moving device, the
intensity function of this device is assigned a unique Channel number in the patch.
Example
• Enter a number and move the level wheel to select the channel and change the
intensity.
When you select this channel, all parameters are automatically mapped to the controls of the
console. All parameters are divided into three groups that have a dedicated key in the
console.
• FOCUS (pan/tilt)
• COLOR (color mixing and color wheels)
• BEAM (gobos, shutters, iris, zoom, prism etc)
Example
• If a selected channel has a scroller, press COLOR. The scroller can be controlled
from one of the four parameter wheels by number (frame) or continously.
