How do devices change positions with closed dimers - Congo Junior

Hello! I'm trying to learn the way Congo Junior works and I've come to some obstacles. The manual is not very helpful at times either. My question is - how do devices proceed successively from one position to another with closed dimers?

  • Hi there -

    In addition to what Richard has said, you can manually apply a MARK state to an intensity, which may be what you are looking for.You find this command in the Channels softkeys on the LCD display on the console.

    Congo consoles (the whole family) by default store moving light parameters for channels with intensity values above 0%, and no information for channels with intensity at 0%. To get a light to move while dark manually, you need to mark the channel in order to store the parameters that are not intensity.

    However, most of the time, the Automark function Richard mentions takes care of this for you using the following logic:

    If a channel is off in the LIVE tab, and in the next step that channel will move to a new position and fade its intensity above 0%, then that channel will move all parameters other than intensity in the cue before.

    If a channel has intensity above 0% in LIVE, and it will move to a new position with intensity in the next step, that move will happen when the GO is pressed for that step, not beforehand.

    In order for Automark to work, the light does need to be told to fade to 0% intensity - so there's no way for Congo to insert an Automark between two steps where the intensity is above 0%. You will need to insert a step/preset that takes the light out in between.

    Does that help at all?

    Thanks -
