output of the cue. For example, if a sequence is programmed with all fixtures in red, then flashing this
sequence on top of a cue with all fixtures in blue will force all fixtures to red since the flashed
sequence has highest priority.
The flashed sequence never becomes part of the cue, and a multi-scene sequence will always run in a
forwards direction with the scene and fade-times programmed into the sequence.
Bank keys - together with the latch and flash keys the 7 bank keys A-G sets up a matrix of 56
"virtual" flash keys for each page.
Each bank key enables another row of latch and flash keys. The 2532 always has an active bank (the
LED is on), to select a key in a different bank, press the bank key so it flashes (is pre-selected). The
active bank is changed to the pre-selected bank as soon as a latch key is pressed - pressing a flash
key selects the flash key in the pre-selected bank, but does not change the active bank.
Pages - the 2532 control may contain up to 18 matrix pages (for a total of 18*7*8 = 1008) virtual latch
and flash buttons. There are no keys pre-allocated to change page, assign one or more user keys to
the task of changing the active 2532 page, or change the active page directly in the control.
User keys - the User keys are usually used to activate functions such as changing the active page or
perform 'global' functions such as a activating a fade-in or fade-out. The function of user keys does not
change with the active 2532 page (as the matrix keys does), so the 18 function assigned to the user
keys are always instantly available. The user keys can only perform 'functions' they cannot be used to
execute programs.
Blackout Button - the Blackout button on the 2532 may be used to toggle blackout/restore. However
since communication from the 2532 to the PC is one-way, the LED indicating Blackout may be out of
sync with the LightJockey blackout status if the blackout is enabled or canceled directly in
LightJockey.

Configuring the 2532 controller
The 2532 control is toggled on and off by clicking the icon on the cue list tool bar. The 2532
control may be displayed in one of two modes, a large size control and a smaller version that can be
used to monitor the status of the 2532 connection. Check Preferences -> Show Large Control in
the menu to toggle between the large and small control sizes. The large size control may be resized
to better show the contents of the various buttons. The preferences menu also contains several
options to manipulate the text used for the virtual buttons.
The 2532 control (small)
The online status LED indicates if the 2532 is currently online, the B/O LED indicates if blackout is
enabled via the Black-out key on the 2532. The Record LED shows if any record mode (see later) is
currently enabled. The page indicator shows which page is currently active, and the sequence and
cue values show latched cues and flashed sequence enabled via the 2532. The functions of the 2532
are identical no matter what mode the control is displayed in.
To configure the function of the 2532 keys, switch the control into large size.
