10 Ion Operations Manual
System Components
Console
Ion is designed from conception as a fully integrated controller for conventional lights and
multi-parameter devices (for example: moving lights, LEDs, 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 control. This
implementation of simple and uniform syntax for control provides a solid foundation for both
experienced and inexperienced users.
