iRFR: Congo/Congo Jr Functionality

RFR with Congo/CongoJr

Also see: Getting Started with Congo/CongoJr

The iRFR has the same functionality as the Net3 RFR.

The RFR works within its own field and this field can be cleared from the console. All channel intensity levels generated by the remote can only be recorded into targets from the remote control itself.

RFR - General Functionality

The upper display line shows information about the selected channel(s). The labels for the soft buttons are on the two lower rows of the display. In all displays the wheel controls the level of selected channels - except in the parameter controls display where the two encoders control the displayed two parameters (like pan/tilt, etc...) 

RFR Channel functionality 

The most common channel functions can be used to select channels and set levels (At Mode Command Syntax is supported from Congo v5.1). This includes the console shortcut C & CH to clear all channels in A.

• CH
• +
• -
• THRU
• @LEVEL
