DMX-in setup dialog
Monitoring incoming DMX
The upper part of the setup dialog displays the incoming DMX signal. Number of channels received,
DMX refresh rate. The refresh rate most often not important unless very low (such as below 10 Hz).
The DMX values currently received may be monitored in the list on the left hand side of the dialog.
Note that incoming DMX values may be translated through a value translation table - in this case the
displayed value is the translated value which is not necessarily the same value as transmitted from
the DMX source.
Assigning functions to DMX in
To assign a function simply drag the function from the list of DMX functions on the right side to the list
on the left side, or highlight both the relevant lines and click Assign Function. The leftmost column in
the assignment list is the incoming DMX channel number, so to assign the blackout function to
incoming DMX channel 10 simply drag the blackout function to the line marked 10 in the assignment
list. To clear assignments use the options menu to clear all or specific assignments, or highlight the
relevant line(s) and click Clear Function.
Disable DMX-in functions
The hardware option to receive DMX in can only be disabled in the hardware setup dialog. The
functions controlled by DMX-in may be disabled by checking Disable DMX-in functions in the
Options menu (buttons and lists will be grayed out when functions are disabled). Note that disabling
functions does not disable DMX in overrides defined in the global patch dialog, only the functions
configured in the DMX in dialog. DMX in may also be enabled/disabled through hotkeys.
Patching DMX in to DMX out
Use the global patch dialog to patch an incoming DMX channel to one or more DMX output channels.
DMX input values may be translated via translation tables to translate a full 0-255 value range to one
or more specific control values. Use value tables when patching functions that does not take up a full
control channel (e.g. to directly override a fixture strobe function that is shared with other functions on
the same control channel).
IMPORTANT: New assignments and options will NOT take effect until the DMX in configuration has
been saved.
Calling up cues via DMX in
As all LightJockey cues have a unique numbers, it is possible to use DMX values to call up a cue,
