Adding a new Moving head / spotlight to Congo JR

Hello again,

well call me dummy call me anything you want, but reading the manual i cannot figure out how to add a new Moving head or a led spotlight into the Congo Jr ...

These devices are being added thru DMX IN (B) because the DMX IN (A) is connected to the static light fixtures of the room.

Can someone describe step by step how to add new devices and setup it's addresses into the congo JR ?

Thank you very much.

    I assume want to add a fixture that exists in the library.

    1. Press [Browser]
    2. Navigate to ->Patching
    3. Press [Modify] on Import Template Wizard]
    4. Use the mouse or your arrow keys to go to Manufacturer
    5. Choose your Manufacturer
    6. Go down to the next drop down list
    7. Choose your fixture type
    8. Go to [Import] press [Modify]
    9. Close the Wizard by pressing [ESC]
    10. Open the Patch Wizard
    11. goto devices
    12. Choose the template and the number of fixtures you want to patch
    13. Choose the first desk channel you want to patch them to
    14. enter the DMX address and Universe ( In your case 2)
    15. Go all the way down and press [Modify]

    Now they are all patched...

    If you need to change any DMX adresses press and hold [Modify] + Device
    That opens up your device list

    I hope that helps

    Hi there -

    1) Have you checked both the Standard and Extended libraries in the Insert Template Wizard?

    2) If you need to build a template, please see the Congo User Manual starting on page 208, or the help system Patching>Settings and Tools>Templates, for information on the templates Congo uses to define moving lights and how to build your own template. Once built, templates can be imported from one show to another, so remember to save a copy of that show. Additionally, there are some helpful hints included in this forum announcement.

    What fixture are you looking for specifically?

    Thanks much & I hope this helps!

    Sarah
