OTHER SET-UP OPTIONS
Figure 24 - Set-up screen
SETTING THE MAP PATH
At the top of the "Set-up" screen there is the "Map Path" field. This is the path to the
directory from which the MLD will load maps automatically in remote control
situations (Map control is discussed in chapter 5). By default the map path is the same
directory as the MLD program itself.
TRACKING REMOTE CONTROL
Pressing on the "Tracking Remote Control" button at the bottom of the set-up screen
will produce a dialog box which allows you to enter unique MIDI, serial or DMX
"triggers" which allow a remote device such as a DMX console, a MIDI sequencer or a
PC controller to start and stop the tracking system when it is in real-time mode. This is
useful because it provides for direct "override" functionality over the entire MLD
system.
Side note: for finer remote control options see the "map control" section in chapter 5.
MIDI
If you have installed a MIDI card and would like to enable the Martin Lighting Director
to have MIDI control, simply choose "Set-up" from the main screen and click on the
"MIDI enabled" radio button. Similarly, if you would like to enable MIDI thru
functionality, press the "MIDI thru enabled" radio button. Please refer to chapter 7 for
a discussion on MIDI control.
