LightJockey Help
Build 7
Added built-in profile for Martin MAC 250 Krypton
Note: Martin Minimac Maestro and Image scan has been moved to 'Imagers' section in the built-in
profiles list.
Features added:
Build 1
Implemented support for up to 4 USB DMX-out interfaces, as well as support for DMX-in via
dedicated USB DMX-in interface. This means that configuration and use of the USB/DMX interface
has changed. Note the USB DMX-in interface has not yet been released.
The Generic DMX Macro now implements 16 bit DMX macros for 16-bit DMX control channels,
making it much more suitable for use with 16-bit pan & tilt and other 16-bit control channels. It is no
longer possible to assign macros or macro parameters to 16-bit LSB control channels - macros and
parameters assigned to LSB channels in previous LJ versions will no longer work - macros and
parameters assigned to MSB channels will run unaffected.
Added new 'Stepped Ellipse' macro type to the movement macro engine.
Build 5
Added hotkey for 'Toggle list of cuelists'
Added ability to execute hotkey commands from a cuelist.
Build 6
Added a few commands to the RS232 remote interface
Build 7
Added mode for using touch devices (rather than a mouse) in the position control.
Profile for External Application/Device plug in implemented. The profile implements a link between
LJ and an external application that can be used to control various external devices or applications.
Misc. Changes:
Build 1
The state of various options in the save sequence dialog is now preserved between sessions.
Added BMP readout to the sequence control. Added option to display scene time as BPM on the
cue control
Added Cue value 512 to the DMX in cue latch function
Added 'Auto load last used scene' switch to Offline/Preferences on the LightJockey main menu. If
unchecked - the Offline Visualizer will no longer automatically load the last used scene.
Added driver files for PCMCIA card, hardware revision 3.
Build 2
Fan Out and Movement options windows now automatically close when the position control closes.
Import fixture definition file dialog will now create and default to an 'exports\' folder rather than
defaulting to 'my documents' if an exports folder doesn't exist.
The DMX output monitor has received a major overhaul. It now includes functions such as being
able to modify DMX output values directly as well as a 'search channel' function.
Build 3
Changes to LJ Media player (now version 1.3) - it is now possible to launch multiple instances of
the LJ media player from the cuelist to playback multiple simultaneous media files. Also a loop
playback option has been implemented to loop playback of a media clip indefinitely.
Cuelist Time code log window now retains last opened position.
Added "Load Cue on double click" option to Cuelist preferences menu.
Added "Run to line" in the Cuelist Popup Menu - using "Run to" will update the cue control with any
cues (including transparent cues) that are loaded previously in the cuelist, giving an 'up to date'
content of the cuelist corresponding with the contents that is loaded to the cue control when the
cuelist is running. The Run to line function only updates the cue control contents and ignores time/
time code, media and other types of commands.
Added remaining cuelist hotkey functions to 2532 and 2518/Rs232 command set.
Build 5
Added new 'Color' palette function to Generic Fixture Profile dialog. Note that profiles using this
palette function will show another default function on earlier LJ releases.
