Edit follow spot settings dialog
Follow spot settings are not restricted to merely using pan/tilt positions and intensity settings, any
effect may be programmed into the follow spot setting (e.g. color or iris settings). Use this feature to
set the initial state that the fixture(s) should assume when switched into follow spot mode. To set the
parameters which should be applied to each fixture when in follow spot mode, simply program them
into the current scene - (hint: clear the current cue before programming the follow spot scene as this
makes it easier to see exactly what is being programmed). Once the fixtures are programmed, make
sure that all programmed follow spot fixtures are selected on the desktop, then highlight one of
the 20 follow spot presets, and click Apply Current Scene to Preset#. When applying the preset
scene, LJ records the programmed parameters for all selected fixtures. Effects that are not
programmed will use default DMX values when the follow spot settings are used (see later). Enter a
name for the follow spot setting directly in the field in the Follow spot entry column.
To clear a follow spot setting, highlight the setting, then click Clear settings in preset# - to clear all
follow spot settings select Clear all Follow spot Settings from the Options Menu.
Associating static entries with follow spot settings
To argument a follow spot, a static static entry may be associated with enabling a follow spot setting -
an associated static entry will automatically be enabled (latched) when the follow spot setting is
activated (see below).
Use the static entry to enforce specific settings to fixtures that are not included in the follow spot
setting - e.g. automatically reduce front lights to 30% intensity as soon as the follow spot setting is
activated - without overwriting other parameters such as colors or positions from the current cue.
To associate a static entry with the follow spot setting, right click the corresponding line list. Then
select the static entry from the popup menu (set static):
Apply Current Scene - apply current scene to follow spot setting
Clear Entry- clear the follow spot setting
Set Static - select a static to be associated with the follow spot setting
Clear Static - clear associated static
Set static as Auto Clear - mark static entry as Auto Clear to automatically disable the static when
deactivating the follow spot setting (see below).
