This tab enables you to choose a language and a screen resolution.
Handson is updated regularly to provide you with improved features, bug-fxes and new or improved
personality-fles. To check for updates, click CHECK NOW . To have Handson check automatically at
startup - only once a day – you should enable the CHECK FOR PROGRAM UPDATES check box.
The CHECK FOR DATA UPDATES check box enables Handson to automatically update its data fles like
personalities, languages and midi-maps. N.B. This feature is not yet operational in software version
1.03.18.
The COLOUR MIX HTP check box sets the HTP or LTP mode for the Colourmix RGB attribute. When
enabled, the highest RGB Colour Mix value out of all active cuelists will be outputted. The “highest”
colour is white (RGB 255,255,255). When disabled, the most recently changed value for RGB Colour Mix
will be outputted (LTP).

ARDWARE
In the hardware tab you can check that the CueCable is properly connected. You can also enable Art-Net
(a protocol to send DMX data over the network). Art-Net is a very useful protocol to connect Handson
to third-party visualizers (e.g. WYSIWYG or Capture Polar). The Art-Net protocol supports up to 256
universes whilst Handson only supports 1 universe, so the ARTNET UNIVERSE feld allows you to select
on which ArtNet universe Handson will
broadcast its one and only universe.
The default value is 0.
Please take into account that the Art-
Net feature is only enabled while a
CueCable is connected.
