28.6 Autofocus
Visualizers can send information back to your Hog console to allow lights to be automatically
positioned to a particular location on stage, rather than individually positioning the fixtures
using the console’s controls. This feature is called Autofocus and works when using the Hog
Connectivity protocol for visualizer streaming.
When Autofocus is properly enabled and configured, selecting and deselecting fixtures as
well as assigning intensity, iris, pan, tilt, and CMY colour mixing values to fixtures in the
visualizer application results in those same selections and values appearing in the active
editor or programmer on the Hog console.
Please refer to the users manual for each respective visualizer application for further details
on how to enable and configure visualizer files to utilize the Autofocus feature.
