“Invert flash button operation on rate faders” changes this operation so that you just
move the fader without holding flash to adjust the value, then (if you reach the fader

end stop) hold flash to reposition the fader. So the fader is always connected giving you
instant control but you can hold the Flash button down to 'scoot' the fader. See section
37.1 for User Preferences.

3.23 PROGRAMMING WITH THE VX20 WING
The VX20's programmer section assists programming by providing hard controls for the main

programming functions.

3.23.1 Trackball

The trackball is multi-purpose and can be used for Programming and as a computer mouse.

Pressing either Intens (Intensity), Position, Colour or Beam turns the track ball blue

and causes the trackball to vary the Intensity, Position, Colour or Beam values of the
selected fixtures in the current programming session.

Pressing the  (mouse) button turns the trackball green and causes it to act as a mouse
for the computer running Clarity. When  (mouse) is selected the Ortho and Fine
buttons act as the Left and Right mouse buttons respectively.

The Intensity, Position, Colour, Beam and Mouse buttons are all interlocked so that selecting
any one button deselects the previous button.

3.23.2 Programmer Buttons

The programmer buttons have the following functions:

Next, All, Prev, None, HiLit (Highlight), Blind, Clear All, Release All: Perform
identical functions to the same buttons on the Programmer window's toolbar in the GUI
(Graphical User Interface). See section 20 for details.
o The Clr All button lights when any attributes have been grabbed in either

programmer.

o The Rel All button lights when any playbacks are active on the output.

Hint: Inadvertently pressing Rel All will blac

o ut all Playback. To prevent this you can set a “User Preference” to require both

Function and Rel All to be pressed together to release all playbacks.

Ortho: (Orthogonal) Holding Ortho whilst moving the trackball restricts the trackball
output to only horizontal or vertical movements, whichever occurs first. When in mouse
mode (above) it acts as a Left mouse button.
