LightJockey Help

'normal' DMX output channel. An example of use would be to automatically fade a number of generic

DMX channels (e.g. par cans) while simultaneously running a chase on the same channels.

To patch one or more sub masters, configure a generic DMX fixture (up to 8 channels) and patch the

addresses of the generic DMX output from the individual channels to the sub masters. Remember to

include the relevant fixtures in the sub master group.

Preferences menu

Show Master Only

Check to hide the sub-masters, thus making the control take up less space on the desktop. Note that

the sub-masters will be active even though hidden.

Show Values as %

It is also possible to toggle between values displayed on the fader between absolute values or %

values.

Synchronize Bump

Check to enable simultaneous bumps on synchronized masters.

Freeze output

By default the freeze switch is disabled, the use of the freeze function may be enabled by enabling

Allow Freeze Output in the system preferences dialog. The freeze state can be set through on

the fixture tool bar or through a hotkey function. When the DMX output is frozen, LightJockey

immediately stops calculating new DMX output values as a result of fades or macros. When 'de-

frozen' calculations are continued from where they were stopped. If assigned to a hotkey flash function

the freeze function can be used to great effect to for example freeze lights in place when there is a

break in the music. Note that sequences running the cue are still being trigged.

Offline / Online switch

The switch is set via the / on the fixture tool bar (the button mimics the

current offline state). By default access to the Offline/Online switch is disabled, access is enabled by

checking Allow Offline Switch option in the system preferences dialog. When LightJockey is offline

it stops transferring new DMX values to the DMX hardware (the hardware does not stop refreshing the

physical DMX signal but the DMX values remain unchanged). During offline state all usual calculations

and macros are still performed and the resulting DMX output is still routed to the Offline Visualizer.

This allows for blind programming while still maintaining a static DMX output to connected fixtures.

Follow spot function

To enable the follow spot function, click on the fixture tool bar. Use follow spot function to

temporarily take manual control over one or more fixtures.

The follow spot function uses the current sequence to first apply a pre-defined contents to the current

scene (e.g. open white, pan/tilt position) then allowing the user to change the fixture(s) position using

the position control (and other attributes using the normal fixture controls). Note that the follow spot

settings will not overwrite output created by generic DMX macros. LightJockey may hold up to 20

different pre-defined follow spot settings.

Editing the follow spot settings.

To edit the follow spot settings using the follow spot settings dialog. To access the dialog, select
