CHAPTER 18:
Profiles
A profile is a method of customizing an output fade curve. You can assign a profile to
dimmers, submasters and cues. Profiles assigned to dimmers determine the dimmer
output when you control the dimmers with channel levels. If you assign a profile to a
cue, the assignment affects all channels that are moving either up or down in that cue
fade. If you assign a profile to a submaster, it affects all channels that are moving up or
down when you move the submaster fader.
Each profile is divided into 20 equal sections and numbered in increments of 5%. The
standard curve is a straight line (linear profile), meaning that at the 10% point, 10% of
the total assigned output of the dimmer or cue has been achieved, at the 20% point, the
output is 20%, etc.
You can use a profile any time you want a fade curve different than a straight linear
fade. You can record up to 15 profiles, and each one may be assigned to any number of
dimmers or cues.
You can use profiles to match output curve assignments between different kinds of
dimmers, or different watt capacity dimmers. A 6kW dimmer and 2.4kW dimmer may
have different outputs at a level of 50%. You can create a profile to allow the two
different outputs to match. This is a useful tool when it is necessary to create uniform
output from dimmers.
