The RFR and its receiver unit feature a high-frequency (HF) link providing bi-directional communication with the connected ETC control desk. Users are able to view their lighting system's status, including completed commands, on the RFR's convenient built-in graphic display.
In addition to the high-resolution display, the RFR features two encoders for quick menu navigation and easy focusing of moving lights, as well as 24 buttons, six of which are soft-keys providing access to multiple sub-menus. The RFR operates on the 2.410GHz radio band and currently connects to the main system by USB. Net3 via Ethernet and PoE (power over Ethernet) will be supported by the unit later this year.
