| - | === Color === | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | 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.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | In the “Output” -> “Show Output” the channel that are corrected will be red marked \\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | ----- | ||
| - | === Extra Options === | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | == 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.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | == 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.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | == 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 " | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | == 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.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | 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 " | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | To unlock the ”Setup” goto the file menu and select “Enter password and disable security”.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | The ”Enter Password” popup will appear.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | 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.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | 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.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | The patching is not active before it has been saved.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | The patched channel are marked with red in the “Output”-> | ||
| - | Her channel 4's value 98 is also send on channel 20, 36 and 52\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | 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.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | 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.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | 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.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | And the same for the right click on the fixture. It also gets a "move to zone" control.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | {{: | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | An example on Zones can be like the images bellow.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
