Warnings
By default a warning will appear on the screen when Blackout or auto fade in or out is engaged. The
warnings may be disabled in the System Preferences dialog.
Grand Master
The Grand Master, by default, modifies the intensity level of all fixtures. The exceptions are fixtures
assigned to sub-masters that are configured to be unaffected by the Grand Master (see below), and
fixtures that are set to ignore Grand Master in the fixture configuration dialog.
Both the grand master and sub-masters works by modifying the intensity level proportionally to the
programmed intensity level before the DMX data is transmitted to the fixtures. That means if a fixture
is programmed to 50% intensity and the grand master is set to 75 %, the resulting intensity will be
75% x 50% = 37.5%.
The 8 sub-masters may be used to control the intensity level of specific groups of fixtures. Besides
being modified by the grand master, the intensity level of a fixture can only be controlled by one other
sub-master. The resulting intensity levels from sub-masters also depend on the level of the grand
master as well (see below).
Sub Masters and Intensity Groups
Intensity groups dialog
The 8 sub-masters each work on each their own individual intensity group. To assign fixtures to
intensity groups, select Groups from the master intensity control main menu. The group intensity
dialog contains 9 different lists accessed by the group tabs. The first list named 'fixtures' lists all the
fixtures configured in LightJockey together with the group they are currently assigned to. If a fixture is
not assigned to any groups it will indicate master as group control. To assign fixtures to a group,
activate the group on via the tab, and then select the relevant fixture icons on the desktop. After the
relevant fixtures have been selected, click Assign Selected Fixtures to assign the selected fixtures
to the group. Assign Master Fixture will assign the master fixture only. If the fixture(s) are already
assigned to another group, they will automatically be removed from that group. To remove fixtures
from a group without assigning them to another group, highlight the fixtures in the group list and click
Remove Fixture(s). The intensity groups may be given a name of up to 5 characters in length. Note
that modifications to groups do not take effect until saved.
The Bump Buttons
Each of the 9 faders has a bump button assigned. Left clicking and holding the bump button forces
the level of the fader to full for as long as the button is held down. When released the level will return
to the previous level. To latch the bump state (automatically keeping the bump state without holding
the mouse button) use right-click. When latched, the bump state is kept at on until the button is
