Manual Control 227
•
[5] {Iris} [5] {Zoom} [6] [5] {Edge} [5] [Enter] - sets channel 5 to an iris value of 50%, a
zoom value of 65%, and an edge value of 50%.
Note:
Pressing [Shift] & [Encoder Paging Key] will place the associated parameter
onto the command line for numeric entry
Using [At] [/] [/] will place the direct DMX value on the command line. For example, [1] [At] [/]
[/] [2][3][9] [Enter] would put channel 1 at DMX value 239.
You can also set a channel's parameter levels with the DMX value by using [/][/].
•
[1] {Pan} [/][/] [2][5] [Enter]
You can add or subtract from the DMX value by using [+] or [-].
•
[1] {Pan} [/][/] [+] [5] [Enter]
•
[1] {Pan} [/][/] [-] [7][5] [Enter]
Adjusting Parameters Using + and -
[+] and [-] can be used to adjust parameters from the command line. When using [-], you will
need to preface the command with [+] if you want to remove from the current value.
Example:
•
[Channel List] {Pan} [1][0] - sets to 10 degrees.
•
[Channel List] {Pan} [+] [1][0] - adds 10 degrees.
•
[Channel List] {Pan} [-] [1][0] - sets to -10 degrees.
•
[Channel List] {Pan} [+] [-] [1][0] - removes 10 degrees.
Setting Non-intensity Parameters with the Encoders
For more information about the encoders, see Encoders (on page 120) .
Encoders provide a quick method to adjust current values for non-intensity parameters.
On Ion, the four encoders are pageable using the six encoder page hardkeys to the upper right
of the encoder LCD. The encoder page buttons are: [Focus], [Custom], [Color], [Form],
[Image], and [Shutter].
Form, Image and Shutter are subcategories within the broader parameter category of Beam.
•
Custom - includes intensity and intensity MSpeed.
•
Color - includes all color mixing controls (CMY, RGB, HS), as well as scrollers, color
wheels, and color effects.
•
Form- includes parameters that affect the quality or size of the light output, such as
edge, zoom, iris, IMF, frost, etc.
•
Image - includes anything that drops into the gate, such as gobos, effects wheels, etc.
•
Shutter - includes all of the framing devices for the luminaire.
Note:
Pressing [Shift] & [Encoder Page Key] will post that parameter to the
command line. For example, pressing [Shift] & [Color] would place Color on the
command line.
