156 Hog 4 Operations Manual
6.3 Modifying Parameters
Once fixtures are selected within an editor, you can modify their parameters.
Hog consoles provide several ways to adjust the different parameter types:
Command Line: Use for intensity and selecting palettes.
I-Wheel: Use for intensity.
Trackball: Use for position (pan and tilt). Use the top-right Trackball key to switch the
Trackball between controlling the on-screen pointer and the position of selected
fixtures.
Parameter Wheels: Use for all fixture functions. To change the parameter type
currently controlled by the parameter wheels, select one of the fixed kind keys on the
front panel: Inten sity, Po sitio n, Colour, Bea m, Effect, and Time or one of the user
kind keys on the front panel. For consoles that don't have a dedicated user kind keys on
the front panel you may select user kinds using the kinds directory as long as the guard
button for the kinds directory is turned off.
If the fixture has more parameters of a particular type than there are parameter wheels
you can press the parameter type keys to page through the parameters.
Center Wheel: Functions assigned to the center wheel in the user preferences can be
adjusted using the inner wheel and outer jog shuttle controls of the center wheel. (Hog 4
Console Only)
Slot Toolbar: Use for parameters that have discrete rather than continuous values
(known as ‘slotted’), such as the positions of a colour wheel. This gives you button-
press control of the possible values.
The Slot Toolbar also has buttons to access the control functions: En able, Mo de and
Con trol.
Spreadsheet: You can directly edit a parameter's value in an editor's spreadsheet
view. Click on the cell, press Set, type in a value and press Enter.
Colour Picker: You can assign hue and saturation values for a fixture's colour using
the Colour Picker. See The Colour Picker.
Gel Picker: You can assign the colour of fixtures to match a colour filter from various
manufacturers' ranges using the Gel Picker. See The Gel Picker.
