The Remote Button / Keyboard commands are used when the video output of the FireBall system is displayed on a TV or large screen projector and it is desired to directly select the FireBall control functions through an external control system.

The up, down, left, right, and select functions can be used to navigate objects on the screen and select them. The active FireBall control function is highlighted and the selection cursor is moved over it.

Various other commands are used to mimic the operation of the remote control. Note that the command response will be “OK” as long as the key code is a valid one, even though the system may ignore the key if the system is in a mode where the key would not normally be processed.
