The statics control
The Statics Control can be opened via , located on the cue list tool bar. If any of the
static control entries are active, the 'LED' on the button turns green as a reminder - when no entries
are active, the 'LED' is red.
The statics control
The primary purpose of the statics control is to control 'simple' fixtures or effects with only on/off
states, usually controlled via dimmer- or switch packs. It may however, be used to control any
parameter of any fixture. The static control works by combining the contents of up to 20 individual
static scenes into a single static scene, which in turn is combined with the rest of the output values
generated by LightJockey to create the final output. The combined output of the static entries has a
higher priority than the current cue, but lower priority than the current background cue.To activate the
contents of a static single entry, click the corresponding button (or assign a hotkey). Releasing (see
toggle and flash modes later) the entry will remove the contents of this entry from the combined output
of the static control.The combined output of the active static entries is calculated by using the latest
take precedence (LTP) principle. This means that if the same parameter (DMX control channel) is
accessed in more than one static entry, the last activated entry has priority. The LTP evaluation
works even if multiple entries are activated or deactivated. This method is different from the current
cue, where the sequence priorities are based on their location within in the cue.
Programming static entries
The contents of the static entry is programmed like programming any other scene using the current
sequence. To apply the contents of the current scene to one of the 20 static entries, right-click the
corresponding button and select record and save current scene from the popup menu. Note that
the record and clear options are not available as long as the entry is enabled (button is down) -
release the entry before trying to save saving to it.
The contents of the current scene, including the fade time, is now copied to the static entry. Give the
entry a descriptive name and click save. To clear the contents of the entry, select Clear Static Entry
from the popup menu.
Hint: program all scenes for the static entries in one sequence, this will make it easier to re-edit the
contents of the static entries later.
