Audio Setup
Use the audio setup tab to configure and select audio options for LightJockey.
The Audio Analyzer
The Audio analyzer program enables LightJockey to use audio input via a sound card to trig sequences
in the cue. See 
Using Audio in
 and 
Trigging Sequences
 for more information.
CD-Audio
Enabling CD-Audio allows LightJockey to control a CD-ROM drive for audio CD play back. It also
allows LightJockey to take time code from the audio CD to synchronize the cuelist to audio CD time
code. See 
Audio CD Control
 and 
Using Timecode in Cuelists
 for more information.
Digital Audio Playback
While not strictly a piece of hardware, LightJockey is able to connect to Winamp for playback of digital
audio (MP3, Wav, etc..). The timecode from the digital audio may be used to synchronize sound and
light in the Cuelist. See 
Using Winamp for digital audio
 and 
Using Timecode in Cuelists
 for
more information. In order for LightJockey to automatically start Winamp when required (i.e. in the
cuelist), the complete path to the Winamp executable must be entered in the 'Path to winamp' field.
Click the folder button and navigate to the Winamp.exe file.

MIDI Setup
MIDI in Dialog
MIDI Note Commands
A number of functions including latching cues or flashing sequences may be remotely controlled via a
MIDI interface. To enable MIDI remote control of LightJockey via MIDI, enable the MIDI In function on
the MIDI In tab.
For more details on the MIDI implementation see 
MIDI In
.
MIDI Timecode
MIDI Timecode (MTC) may be used as a time source for 
Cuelists
. To enable a MIDI timecode
interface, select it from the MIDI device list via the lower right-hand corner (Select from list then click
Select Device). Note that in order for LightJockey to recognize the MIDI device it must be installed with
working Windows drivers.
The MTC Timeout Value determines the time it takes before an MTC driven cuelist to timeout after
MIDI time code transmission has stopped. Normally the default value of 0.5 sec is a good selection,
but special circumstances may make it necessary to increase the timeout value.

Direct Access (via RS 232) Setup

Rs 232 Remote interface
2532 Direct Access keyboard
Before the 
2532 Direct Access
 keyboard may be used with LightJockey it needs to be configured.
Enable the the 2532 Direct Access and then select the appropriate serial port (COM1-COM4).
It is not necessary (or recommended) to enable to enable the 2532 and select a serial port in order to
use the 2532 control in virtual mode (using the control without a 2532 physically connected).
NOTE: The 2532 must have at least version 3.0 software in order to work with LightJockey.
Martin 2518 (via RS-232)
Connects the 
Martin 2518 controller via RS-232
. Since the connection is via RS-232 it is possible to
connect the 2518 without additional hardware (except an availablee RS-232 port and suitable cable).

Direct Access (via DMX-in) Setup
MC-X Controller
As the MC-X controller uses DMX to communicate with LightJockey, it is only useable with an
appropriate hardware interface that supports DMX in.
Note that if the MCX interface is enabled, normal 
DMX in
 functionality is suspended.
See 
MC-X Remote Controller
 for details on setup and use.

Installing the PCI DMX transmitter card.

Setting Tranmitter hardware options
The PCI interface card comes in two flavors, the PCI 512 and the PCI 2048.
·
The PCI 512 supports one full link of DMX out (512 channels) and one full link of DMX in (512
channels).
·
The PCI 2048 supports 4 full links of DMX (2048 channels) and may be configured to drive 4 output
links or 3 output links and 1 input link.
·
The PCI card is supported when operating under Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and XP.
Complete instructions for installing the PCI Card are shipped with the card and may also be
downloaded from the 
Martin website
In order for LightJockey to use card the follow the 3 steps outlined below:
1. Install the Windows PCI driver
2. Install the LightJockey PCI/ISA driver
3. Configure LightJockey to use the card as DMX transmitter.
Installing the Windows PCI driver
Before the card can be used a Windows PCI driver must be installed - the installation process is
identical for both PCI512 and PCI2048 cards and pretty much the same in all Windows versions.
After installing the Windows driver, a second driver (LightJockey PCI/ISA driver) needs to be installed
before LightJockey can communicate with the card - see below. Note that on windows 2000 and XP
the login account used must have administrator rights - otherwise the drivers cannot install.
·
Power off the PC, remove the mains connector, and then install the card in a free PCI slot taking all
the necessary precautions against static electricity discharges. Switch on the PC
·
After startup, Windows detects the presence of new card and starts the "found new hardware
wizard".
·
Use the wizard to locate the 4064PCI.inf file located in the \HardwareDrivers\PCI_ISA\  folder (1).
Select the 4064PCI.Inf file and finish the Wizard. If during the installation the Wizard requests a
diskette with wdpnp.syst, just click OK to continue.
·
Once the driver has been installed, open the device manager (1) to verify that the card has been
detected correctly. The card should appear in the device list under Martin devices as Martin
PCI4064: DMX PCI Card.
