Channels - Scale channel levels

The SCALE key in the Soft Keys makes it possible to apply a scaling factor to the intensity level of
any channel/device.

(

are commands in the lower right corner of screen 2)

When 100%, channels are controlled and played back at normal or recorded levels. Scale settings
other than 100% will proportionally inhibit or boost the intensity output by the channel. For example,
a channel scaled to 150% will play back 75% when actually recorded and played back at 50% by a
preset.

Scaling is used in situations such as:

• When the light source is too bright due to temporary change of hanging position (100-0%)

• When you need to brighten part of a rig temporarily to adapt it for camera footage (100-

200%).

• When a touring rig is adapted to a different stage size.
