The Congo v6 software brings host of new features that make Congo family consoles even more fun and flexible for both on-the-fly and traditional theater-style applications. With new effects, powerful improvements to Jam Mode, and double the number of available Masters, Congo v6 is designed for the user that likes to work quickly – and creatively. New image effects are improvements start with the addition of another powerful effect type to Congo image effects. Image effects use the effect playback concept from Congo v5 software to associate a layout of channels (which creates a graphical or positional relationship among included channels) with a source image or text. Parameters of the effect playback include positioning of the image on the layout, scale and aspect of that image/text, rotation and effects like constant rotation, scaling or scrolling. Multiple effect playbacks allow for layered image effects. Jam mode is a huge area of emphasis in the development of v6 has been the enhancement of Jam mode. It's easier than ever to determine what data gets generated and where that data ends up in a play file. Users can also regenerate data quickly using the new Jam Mode Wizard. For those who like to experiment, we have added in Two Scene Masters. Create a look blind using the top row of masters, then fade into that look in time using the Master Controls. The scene created on the top row of masters becomes live on the bottom row of masters, where additional adjustments can be made on the fly making busking a breeze. Masters are in v6, the number of Master Playbacks has been increased to 80 and once-global settings can now be applied per master – including rubber banding and exclude-from-record. And, there are new settings, such as the ability to choose what look a rubber banding master returns to – this can be the previous state or back to the main playback or to a designated preset. Also improved is the Masters display and dock, allowing users to see a lot more information about the masters, including more steps of a sequence on a master. Learn profile is improved playback by incorporating the ability to learn a fade profile for cross fades in the Main Playback. Simply enable Learn Profile on a soft key and then move the faders in the manner you want the cross fade to happen. Also new is an indication of the current playback location (what's in A and B) within the Sequence List editor. Channel views are channel views have changed.
