For 30 years ETC has been known for revolutionary lighting control design. For 30 years Avab products have been known for a spirit of bold innovation. Now those great minds have met, in Congo. Melding together the engineering brilliance and experience of ETC and Avab systems, Congo maintains the simplicity of classic systems with the feature-rich functionality of a dedicated moving lights console. Clean functions for everyday theater work with conventional lights, plus advanced control of hundreds of moving lights, without mouse operations or computer menus. Like today's sophisticated but deadline-driven productions, Congo is high energy -- with short commands for fast results.CongoSimple. Intuitive. InnovativeWith Congo, you can move independent channels such as worklights, conductor lights, followspot and smoke machine control to a special section that isn't affected by the rest of the system. You have somewhere to put your screens without blocking your view of the stage. You see the important information, at any time, on the screens or in the console displays. And you can even have remote control of your rig with your own cordless phone. Simple, intuitive and innovative lighting control with a big brain for complexity wherever it arises. Congo handles the future without forgetting the past. Congo is designed for theater, broadcast, club systems, concert and special-event lighting. At the Eurovision Song Contest broadcast in Kyiv, Ukraine, Congo consoles controlled 300+ moving lights, 200+ conventionals and 16 media servers, among other devices. Complete with a theatrical-style main playback fader pair, 80 multipurpose Masters for group, submaster, effect and additional sequence control, 40 Direct Selects and a dedicated moving lights control section, Congo's hardware is suitable for any kind of playback situation.Software Features Multiple Formats for all channel views including graphical channel layouts Channel purpose database with auto groups Special Jam Mode for busking with moving devices Direct Channel Mode Client/server networking & synchronized backup Electronic manualS P E C I F I C A T I O N SSYSTEM CAPACITY6144 Outputs/parameters3072 Control Channels9999 Presets4x 999 Palettes (Focus, Color, Beam, All)999 Groups999 Macros999 Sequences999 Master Pages999 Dynamic Effects TemplatesSupports three VGA monitors starting at 1024x768 resolutionHard DiskUSB ports for USB Flash drive, floppy drives, pointing devices, keyboardsINTERFACES2 DMX512 Ports (RDM Ready)Ethernet (ETCNet2, Net3/ACN, Avab IPX, ArtNet)Contact closure triggers through D-Sub connectorAPN Connector (Avab Peripheral Network)USB multipurpose bus (4 ports)Remote Focus Unit (Radio RFU)Phone RemoteMIDI In/Out (Input: MIDI, MIDI Timecode, MIDI Show Control; Output: MIDI)Audio In/Out
