System Components

C o n s o l e
Ion is designed from conception as a fully integrated controller for conventional lights and
multi-parameter devices (for example: moving lights, color scrollers, gobo wheels). Attention to
detail across all areas of the system design and architecture allows you the utmost flexibility and
customization of use.
Ion allows designers and programmers to develop a mutual vocabulary for moving light control.
This implementation of simple and uniform syntax for moving light control provides a solid
foundation for both experienced and inexperienced moving light users.
R e m o t e P r o c e s s o r U n i t ( R P U )
The RPU can be used as the primary or backup processor for the system or for primary playback in
installations that do not require a control console after initial programming is completed.
For more information, see the appendix
R e m o t e V i d e o I n t e r f a c e ( R V I )
The remote video interface allows remote interaction with the lighting control system. This can be
for display purposes only. Additionally, with a mouse and alphanumeric keyboard attached, the RVI
can be used as a remote programming station. The RVI provides supports for a maximum of two
DVI or SVGA monitors, 1280x1024 minimum resolution.

R a d i o F o c u s R e m o t e ( R F R )
The RFR provides wireless control of key front panel functions.The base station for the RFR can be
networked into the system, or can connect to a console or remote device using the USB interface.
