Martin LIGHTING DIRECTOR, User Manual, Page: 69 / 105

sets the same fixture to an iris value of 10 the fixture will only receive the latter
instruction and the user will only see an iris of 10. This resolves possible DMX conflicts
according to the “latest takes precedence” rule, also called “the last one wins”, which in
the MLD real-time mode follows the sequence presented above.
OVERRIDE PROCEDURES
To stop tracking press the “stop” button; this will resume the lighting console’s control
of all the lights and stop all other media. Alternatively, you may stop tracking (and
resume it) from a console or controller by using the tracking remote control triggers,
described in chapter 3. If, while tracking is in progress, you want to override a certain
MLD map from the lighting console you must send the appropriate “map disable” DMX
data according to what you defined in the “Map Control” dialog box when designing the
map (chapter 5).
To return to the default values for all real-time tracking parameters press the “Restore
Defaults” button.
To quiet down MIDI notes press the “All notes off” button.
If you must, send a complete DMX reset to all the lights connected to the MLD by
pressing the “Reset Lights ” button. Be warned that some lights might take a few
minutes to reset.
