setting selection dialog. If the icon is left-clicked, the last activated follow spot setting will be re-
activated.
Follow spot selection dialog
To select a specific follow spot setting, highlight the line and click Ok (or double click the line). A
setting may also be activated using keyboard hotkeys or the 2532 direct access. Once a follow spot
setting has been activated, it can be 'released' by clicking Clear or by clicking on the fixture tool
bar. When a follow spot setting is activated, LightJockey will automatically call up the intensity and
pan/tilt controls for the selected fixture(s). As the setting is activated, LightJockey will apply all the
pre programmed parameters (follow spot settings) to the fixtures designated as follow spots.
Parameters not programmed will be set to the default DMX values. Finally, all effects (DMX control
channels) are set to snap to move the fixture into the follow spot settings as fast as possible.
Use only selected fixtures as Follow spots
When a follow spot setting is recorded, the selection state of all fixtures are also recorded. When
activating a follow spot setting, LightJockey will automatically re-select these fixtures and deselect all
other. If Use only selected fixtures as Follow spots (preferences menu) is enabled, ONLY the
fixtures that already are selected will be re-selected when a new follow spot setting is activated.
Tip: If multiple fixtures are used together in a follow spot setting, make sure to select Relative
Movement in the pan/tilt control
Fixture solo function
The fixture solo function is activated via on the fixture tool bar or by using a keyboard hotkey.
The solo function may be disabled (to avoid confusing inexperienced users) via the system
preferences dialog. When disabled the button is not visible on the tool bar. The solo function is
primarily a tool to help during programming. It works by sending a blackout command to all non-
selected fixtures (only fixtures that have a defined blackout function are affected). The blackout means
that only selected fixtures will have light output. The blackout 'moves' with the fixture selection - this
has the effect that if, for example, the solo function is used in connection with the next/previous fixture
function, only the currently selected fixture will be visible. If no fixtures are selected, the blackout
command will be cleared from all fixtures.
Global patching
Global patch dialog
The global patch is accessed via the main setup menu or by right-clicking on a fixture icon and select
Global Patch from the popup menu. The latter method aligns the patch list with the fixtures DMX
address.The global patch allows patching the 'source' of individual DMX output channels as well as
defining attributes such as minimum and maximum values or. The dialog is also used to assign
individual channels to HTP channel groups. Note: Changes in the dialog will not take effect on the
actual output until the patch is applied (click Apply Patch).
