Introduction
The Settings menu contains links to all the widgets that contain settings for the software, the current
project or the option to change between Chapter or Book mode.
Menu
Output Configuration: The Output Configuration widget displays the active tracking output data
from the Output Modules and Trackable Settings as a result of the tracking operation in BlackTrax.
Project Properties: In Project Properties, you will find settings and information of the current
project such as the show name, author, and description (all editable), and the settings that will
change the DMX input for Chapter Control Channel, Book Control Channel, and the Merging
Channel.
Chapter
Universe: Specifies the universe used for Book and Chapter Control Channels
Book Control Channel: The Book Control Channel specifies the DMX channel which will
be used to trigger Book changes from a lighting console in a Multi Book Project.
Chapter Control Channel: The Chapter Control Channel specifies the DMX channel
which will be used to trigger Chapter changes from a lighting console.
Merging Channel
Enable Monitoring: When this checkbox is enabled the current DMX value of the
Merging Channel will be displayed in the Status Bar.
Universe: Specifies the universe used for the Merging Channel.
Merging Channel: The Merging Channel is just a monitoring channel and does not
control the merging channel. The Merging Channel must be set in the merge node and
monitored from the GUI.
System Configuration: In System Configuration, you will find settings that will change the
software behaviors (such as Fixture Calibration behavior, warning prompts, and autofocus behavior
going to BTWYG).
Reset Settings: The ability to reset Blacktrax, Motive or BT Engine settings to their original
manufacturer settings. During the reset, all tracking operations will pause momentarily.
Change Book Mode: Click on the Change Book Mode to switch BlackTrax between Standard
Chapters (no Books) mode or Extended Chapters (with Books) mode.
