Did you know? #4 - Highlight Function

Today once again a real highlight from our series "Did you known?". This is exactly what DMXControl 3 is all about: "Highlight". Or did you know that the highlight function works not only with devices, but also with groups and presets? But first of all the fundamental question of what "Highlight" does at all. As a simple explanation, this function is a kind of preview. Anyone who has a lot of equipment in a project knows the problem of losing track at some point and sometimes having to search for fixtures. The highlight function in DMXControl 3 helps here. If it is activated and then a fixture is selected in the Stage View, its shutter is opened, the colour white is set and the dimmer of the fixture is set to 100%. Now you can easily identify the fixture.

But the highlight function in DMXControl 3 can do even more. It is also possible to select entire device groups, which illuminates the entire group. This is especially helpful if you have defined several groups to apply effects to. In this way you can keep track of your group membership. Another particularly helpful function is the Preset Highlight function, if you have saved many presets. If the Highlight function is activated and you click on a preset, DMXControl 3 displays the preset on the corresponding devices. This gives you a kind of "preview" of the preset before assigning it to the appropriate devices. So you are much faster when searching for a specific preset than if you first have to put each preset on a test device to see its effect.
