LightJockey Help
Stats: DMX data packages sent and DMX data packages received through talk back (see below).
Note that the number of DMX data packages sent represents the number of packages sent to the
interface module and not necessarily the number of packages that has reached Capture (it will still
increase even if disconnected).
Talk back
The bi-directional communication means that Capture may be used to program LightJockey scenes -
DMX data from Capture is used to program the current scene. To enable talk back, check "Enable
Capture talkback" on the Capture Status panel.
Note: talk back may not work properly if the fixture is configured with different addresses in Capture
and LightJockey - especially:
Fixture has pan or tilt inverted or pan/tilt swapped and the DMX output is patched through the global
patch dialog (e.g. fixture with inverted pan has DMX address 1 in LightJockey and 100 in Capture)
Fixture DMX protocol implements 16 bit pan/tilt different from MSB/LSB pairs and output is re-
patched through the global patch dialog.
Nested patching through the global patch dialog (e.g. DMX channel 1 takes the output from channel
2 which takes the output from channel 3).
Talk back also requires 'receiving' fixtures in LightJockey - programming fixtures that are only
configured in Capture will not work properly.
