4.10 User Preferences
Settings within the User Preferences window are stored per user as part of the show file. If a
show has more than one user the console will prompt the operator to select a user when the
show is launched. (see Users)
4.10.1 Desklight, Worklight, and Vent Light Preferences
You can individually adjust the brightness of the console's desklights, worklight, and front
panel key LEDs by holding down the Setup key and adjusting the coordinating parameter
wheel.
The vent light brightness level on the Hog 4, Full Boar 4, and Road Hog 4 consoles is
controlled by a slider that is located in the App eara nce pane of the User Pr eferences
window. The vent light will turn off during periods of console inactivity as determined by the
Changing the LCD Backlight Timeout setting. Similar to the desk lights, the vent light will
come on at full intensity on a cold boot before you have loaded a show file.
The desklights on most of the consoles in the Hog 4 family feature both blue and white LEDs,
with the exception of HedgeHog 4 which only has white led desklights. By default the
desklights are white during normal activity and turn blue during periods of inactivity as
determined by the LCD Backlight Timeout setting. If you prefer the desklights to always be
blue, you can select Use Blu e Desklights in the App ear ance pa ne of the User
Prefe ren ces window.
4.10.2 Touchscreen Backlight Brightness
You can adjust the brightness of each of the console's touchscreen backlights by holding
down the Setup key and adjusting the coordinating parameter wheel.
4.10.3 Trackball and Trackball Ring Preferences
The Trackball and it's outer ring have two modes:
Pointer Mode: The trackball controls the on-screen pointer, like a mouse on a personal
computer while the trackball ring acts as a vertical scroll wheel.
Position Mode: The trackball lights up in blue and controls the position (pan and tilt) of
fixtures while the trackball ring controls whichever function is assigned to it in the
Trackball tab of the User Pre ferences window.
You can switch between the two modes by pressing the top right Trackball key.
To lock the Trackball to one mode:
1. Setu p → Prefe ren ces → Tra ckba ll
2. Select Po inte r or Position from the drop down menu to lock the Trackball in that
mode. Select Togg les to restore the ability to change modes with the top right
Trackball key.
3. Select O K to apply and close.
Tip: Make sure you have an external mouse connected if you lock the Trackball in position
mode, and you don't want to control the on screen pointer only by pressing the
touchscreens.
