Setting Intensity
Channel intensity may be set using the channel faders, by selecting the channel(s) and using the
level wheel or the keypad, or set with an intensity palette (if programmed,
). Pressing [At] after channel selection allows you to enter a discrete
intensity value. You may also use the [Full] button to bring the selected channels to their full
intensity or you may use the [Out] button to set the intensity out.
Use the Level ([At] [At]), +% ([Shift] & [+]) and -% ([Shift] & [-]) functions to affect the intensity
value of selected channels. Each of these functions are set at a specific value established in the
• Level is set by default to full (100% intensity).
• +% and -% are each set by default value of 10 points.
The following examples illustrate the various methods of setting intensity:
• [1] [+] [3] [At] [5] <0> [Enter] - selects channels 1 and 3, and sets an intensity level of 50%.
• [1] [Thru] [5] [-] [4] [Full] [Enter] - selects a range of channels 1 through 5, except channel
4, and sets the intensity to full.
• [1] [Thru] [8] [At] [+] [3] <0> [Enter] - adds 30% to all intensities in the channel selection. If
they were at 50, they will now be at 80. If channels 1, 3, and 5, were at 30 and 4 was at 50,
they would be 60% and 80% intensity, respectively.
• [5] [Thru] [8] [At] [-] [3] <0>[Enter] - scales the intensities of the selected channels in the list
down 30% of their current values.
• [1] [Thru] [4] [At] [/] [1] [3] [0] [Enter] - scales the intensities of the selected channels in the
list up 30% of their current values. If channels 1 through 4 were at 40% intensity, this would
scale them up by 30% to a value of 52.
• [2][6] [Thru] [3][1] [At] [5][0] [Thru] [Full] [Enter] - fans the intensity levels across the
channels selected. In this example, channel 26 would be at 50%, 27 at 60%, 28 at 70%, 29
at 80%, 30 at 90%, and 31 at Full.
• [2] [+] [5] [level wheel] - roll the wheel up for greater intensity or down for less intensity.
• [1] [Full] [Full] - selects channel 1 and sets it to full and self terminates the command line.
• [2] [At] [At] - selects channel 2 and sets it to the level as established in Setup.
• [Group] [9] [Out] - selects all channels in Group 9 and sets the intensity values for those
channels to zero.As long as channels are on the command line you can continue to address
them with commands without having to reselect them.
For Example:
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [Full] [Enter]
The selected channels are highlighted in gold, with white channel text and red intensity
values (indicating manual data). You may continue to modify channels 1 through 5 since
they are still selected and displayed on the command line.
•
[Shift] & [-] [Shift] & [-]
This command would reduce the intensity of channels 1 through 5 by the value assigned to
+% and -% in setup.
