------ 
-=== Color === 
-{{:setup:setup_preferences_colors.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-The color panel is almost self explaining of what color can be set to which function.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
------ 
-=== Correction === 
-The Correction panel are used to offset the value of a channel.\\ 
-In this figure channel 11 has an offset of 20 which are added to the value from the control.\\ 
-If for example the control is set to 127 then the value on channel 11 will be 147.\\ 
-The range of the correction is -99 to 255.\\ 
-The correction is not active before it is saved.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preferences_corrections.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-In the “Output” -> “Show Output” the channel that are corrected will be red marked \\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preferences_corrections_output_window.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
------ 
-=== Extra Options === 
-{{:setup:setup_preferences_extra_options_02.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-== Open cue and overridebuttons on Startup == 
-When enabled the Cue window and the overridebuttons panel will automatically be opened when Freestyler is started.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-== Open cue and submasters on Startup == 
-As the title says the two panels will open on startup and be ready to operate.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-== Open sound2Light on Stratup == 
-This opens the sound2Light add-on in FreeStyler direct when the program is started.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-==Automatically expand faders when fixture selected.== 
-When enabled the fader panel located to the right in Freestyler window will automatically expand when a fixture is selected.\\ 
-Normally it is hidden and are to be touched before it expands.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preferences_extra_options_fader_panel.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-== Cue Multiselect always enabled == 
-When more cues are to run in parallel this multiselect are to be enabled.\\ 
-This is the case when sub masters are to be used.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-== Cue “Go to previous value” always enabled. == 
-When enabled the vales for the channels that has been changed by the cue will have there values prior to the cue start.\\ 
-With this enabled it is for all cues.\\ 
-A similar function is available in the cue panel but there it has to be set for each single item in the cue.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-== Send DMX data to Martin LightJockey == 
-** Please enter info **\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-== Use transparency on window with no focus == 
-Highlight the window in focus and gray out the others.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preferences_extra_options_transparency.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-== Reset Freestyler to factory defaults == 
-Will bring Freestyler back to original settings. The reset will first take place after Freestyler has been restarted.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-== Reset windows position == 
-This will bring windows back if they are lost. This can happen if monitors are shifted to other sizes and so on.\\ 
-It is also possible to reset windows position in the "Window" menu.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-== Increase process priority. == 
-On some systems FS didn't start the first time. To overcome this problem the priority can be increased.\\ 
-This don’t speed up processes or anything else.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
------ 
-=== Password. === 
-The Password protection is used to protect the access to the Freestyler Setup.\\ 
-\\ 
-**This will remove “Setup” from the menu bar.**\\ 
-All other function can additionally be blocked so only a limited functions / panels are accessable.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:images:setup_menu:setup_preferences_password.jpg|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-The setting of the password is straight forward.\\ 
-If it is the first time then the wanted password just have to be entered in the two Enter new password boxes.\\ 
-The Password window has check boxes in the right side where it is possible select which areas to protect with the Password.\\ 
-If it is a password change then the old password are to be entered additionally.\\ 
-**To delete the password leave the new password box empty.**\\ 
-It can be necessary to close the program to deactivate the password protection.\\ 
-\\ 
-And the "Setup" menu's are gone.\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preferences_password_02.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-To unlock the ”Setup” goto the file menu and select “Enter password and disable security”.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preferences_password_01.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-The ”Enter Password” popup will appear.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preferences_password_03.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-If the Password protection are to be enabled again then it is done by setting up the password again. 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
------ 
-=== Pan / Tilt resize.=== 
-Sometimes when you preprogrammed sequences for a special location and you might want to use the same sequences on another location then you are able to resize the pan & tilt movements (going from 1 to 120%).\\ 
-\\ 
-The resizing only works in the cue window (no shapes yet)!\\ 
-Note: Direct copy from help file.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preference_pan_tilt_resize.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-This is a general resizing that will affect all cues with movement control.\\ 
-It is not possible to just resize the movement for a group of fixture with this setting.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
------ 
-=== Patch === 
-Patch is a simple but effective way to place the same control on more channels.\\ 
-Her the Amber channel 4 is patched to Amber channel 20, 36 and 52.\\ 
-This means that the vale from channel 4 also is send on the 3 patched channels and the original control to this channels is omitted.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preference_patch.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-The patching is not active before it has been saved.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-The patched channel are marked with red in the “Output”->”Show Output” window.\\ 
-Her channel 4's value 98 is also send on channel 20, 36 and 52\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preference_patch_output.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-So here the amber control for fixture 1 also controlles amber for the 3 other fixtures.\\ 
-An other example could be patching all channels for one fixture, one by one, to all fixtures of then same type.\\ 
-This gives that the fixture 1 will control all the fixtures.\\ 
-It will be the same as giving all the fixtures, the same DMX address to listen at in parallel.\\ 
-You gain that only one fixture control all fixtures, the lose is that you don't have individual control on the fixtures.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
------ 
-=== Zone. === 
-Zone can be used to group fixtures into tabs.\\ 
-This can be useful when there are some secondary lights to control.\\ 
-It will be possible to have a clean workspace where only fixtures that are related are placed.\\ 
-\\ 
-Note. Zones are not DMX universes. FreeStyler is 2x 512 channel (2 universes) and the fixtures can be organized on 4 tab's / zones.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preference_zones_tabs.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-The setup of each zone / tab are simply a name with max 10 char.\\ 
-It is possible to insert a background on each tab.\\ 
-Freestyler may need to be restarted before the background are correct.\\ 
-\\ 
-A small trick.\\ 
-To add a background on freestyler without enabling zone just add the image name in the main zone background.\\ 
-The tabs will not be shown but the image will.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-The background images has to fit the monitor in advance because it is not possible to size or center it in this setup.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preference_zones.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-Here 4 Zones are defined Main rig, Dancefloor, Bar and hall.\\ 
-But it could also have been a LED matrix that has been placed in a zone.\\ 
-A matrix normally have many fixtures and if they only are running in predefined cues or LedTrix then they don’t need to be in the main window.\\ 
-So a nice way to have a clean work space.\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-When zone is enabled the Add fixture gets an extra field to select which zone the fixtuer are to be placed in.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preference_zones_add_fixtures.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-\\ 
-And the same for the right click on the fixture. It also gets a "move to zone" control.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preference_zones_popup_menu.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-An example on Zones can be like the images bellow.\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preference_zones_main_rig.jpg?|}}\\ 
-\\ 
-{{:setup:setup_preference_zones_dancefloor.jpg?|}}\\
