Blackout/restore

The blackout function is a global blackout affecting all fixtures. The blackout function may be disabled

for individual fixtures in the fixture configuration dialog.

Blackout is a temporary overlay function and does not affect any programmed sequences or cues.

When a blackout command is given, LightJockey will select the fastest way of disabling the light

output on the fixtures. This usually means using the fixtures shutter if available. For fixtures without a

shutter LightJockey will use alternatives to try to blackout the fixture - e.g. the RoboColor II blackout

is by shutting off the halogen lamp, and the Roboscan 812 by selecting the black out gobo on the

gobo wheel. Use Restore to restore output from a blackout.

The Blackout command can be selected either from on the fixture tool bar, or via the master

intensity control or for example through hotkeys. The icon as a toggle, when clicked the first time, it

will set state to blackout - when clicked a second time it will restore from blackout.

By default, a warning will appear on the screen when blackout is engaged. This warning may be

disabled in the system preferences dialog.
