MC-X remote control
The Martin MC-X Remote Control is a small 8 button device that uses the DMX protocol to
communicate to the main controller. The 8 buttons have an on/off toggle function and are mutually
exclusive (only one can be 'On' at a time). The MC-X must be configured in the hardware setup before
use. Since the MC-X uses the DMX in function of LightJockey, it is only usable for installations with
LightJockey hardware that supports DMX-in. Also as only one DMX-in device can be connected at a
time is not possible to use other DMX-in functions options at the same time as using the MC-X unless
a DMX merger device is used. When connected to LightJockey the preset buttons on the MC-X may
be used to latch cues or background cues and the auto button may be used to launch a cue list.
Connecting the MC-X does not exclude the 'normal' use of cues and cue lists. Cues and cue lists may
still be loaded manually or via other remote control options.
MX-C Setup
To access the MX-C setup dialog, click the icon on the cue list tool bar.
MC-X setup dialog
The dialog contains 7 entries for the 7 preset buttons and one entry for the auto button.
Assigning cues to the preset buttons - make sure the MC-X is setup to use cues in the preferences
menu. Cues may be assigned by dragging the cue from the list of cues, or by right-clicking the line
representing the preset and select Assign current Cue from the popup menu. The second approach
requires that a cue has already been loaded.
Assigning background cues to the preset buttons - make sure the MC-X is setup to use background
cues in the preferences menu. Background cues may be assigned by dragging the background cue
from the list of background cues, or by right-clicking the line representing the preset and selecting
Assign current Background Cue from the popup menu. The second approach requires that a
background cue is already loaded.
Assigning a cue list to the auto button - the cue list may either be dragged and dropped from the list
of cue lists or it may be assigned by loading the cue list and right-clicking the 'auto' line in the MC-X
setup dialog.
