Warning

Tracker Priority is a feature only for SMART Systems.

By clicking a tracker, it is possible to set a priority value. This priority will guarantee to give the tracker more importance than the others.

Example: 10 High Update Trackers and 0 Low Update Trackers are allowed in the tracker settings. At the moment there are 10 trackers, all with priority 100, active in your show. Now the 11th tracker which comes on stage will not have space to get active. With a higher priority (101) this tracker will kick another tracker to get the slot.

In the Tracking Settings it is possible to set up the necessary tracking slots, divided into High Update and Low Update Rate trackers. See update Rate for more information.
