Fingers for LightJockey
Introduction to Fingers
Fingers for LightJockey is a dedicated LightJockey hardware front-end which includes buttons, faders
and jog wheels for hands-on control of several of LightJockey's functions. Fingers connects through
RS-232 and requires a free serial port (COM1 - COM4). For PCs without serial port use a standard
USB to RS-232 converter may be used.
Fingers front panel
LightJockey contains a virtual model of Fingers that mimics the function of the physical Fingers.
Although the virtual model is not a substitute for the real one, with a few restrictions, it may be used
to setup and operate LightJockey as if the physical unit was connected.
