NEO Lighting Control Console
Disable Double Click Function
Default off - Double clicking on a channel or fixture will toggle it between the on value and off. Use this option to
disable this function to prevent accidentally performing this operation.
Submasters Must Return to the Current Position After a Page Change
Use this option to avoid unexpected jumps in stage output after changing the submaster page. Normally if a
submaster is moved after a page change the output will take effect immediately. With this option on the effect of the
submaster will not be applied until the physical slider is returned to the current value of the submaster.
Start New Show with Nothing Patched
When you create a new blank show NEO will patch all of the available desk channels 1:1 with the dimmer (dmx)
channels. Tick this option stop this happening and start all new shows with no channels patched.
Wheel Changes Ignore Master Fade Time
When using the mouse wheel to control the dimmer intensity of a channel the master fade time will not be used if this
option is turned on.
Use Attribute Default Values When Nothing is in Control
If all control of a fixture is released and no instruction is currently active the DMX output will default to a zero (0)
value. Turning this option on will result in the default output value set for the attribute being used instead. The most
common use of this is the pan and tilt setting that would typically have their mid points set as the defaults.
Don't Show Palette Options When Recording a Cue
Simplifies programming by limiting recording options. This keeps it to raw data.
Use Advanced Color Heuristics
Default Off - NEO has a unique feature that allows the software to calculate color matching for fixture that have
more than the 3 primary colors (RGB, CMY or HSI).
For example if a fixture has red, green, blue, amber, and white LEDs (RGBAW) traditional color matching is only
able to apply the first 3. This is because in a perfect system all colors can be achieved by the combination of red,
green and blue. Because LEDs are not perfect some manufacturers add additional colors to the fixture to expand the
available colors that can be produced. The software however can traditionally only work in a perfect color space
when converting from a selected color to the elements of that color.
The advanced color heuristics system of NEO attempts to overcome this problem by applying an advanced algorithm
to calculate how much of other colors should be applied.
It should be noted that this algorithm is not perfect and is an approximation of the maximum output for a selected
color.
Because you may need to work with this option frequently you will find the same check box in the attribute color
picker. You can change this setting in either location.
Virtual Dimmer to Inhibit Colors
When a fixture does not have a dimmer (RGB LED fixture for example) NEO will create a virtual dimmer to make
working with that fixture easier. The way the virtual dimmer operates can be changed between a inhibit function and
a build operation.
With this option turned off the virtual dimmer will add to each of the color values eventually making it white (all
colors at full). Each of the colors will be adjusted proportionally to maintain the color hue until one of the colors
reaches 100%. Continuing to increase the virtual dimmer will result in the color moving towards white.
With the virtual dimmer in inhibit mode the fixture will not output any color without the dimmer on. Each of the
colors in the fixture will be scaled by the value of virtual dimmer such that when the dimmer is at full the set colors
will be fully realized.
