How Faders Affect Intensity
Previously, intensity states were discussed in relation to cue store operations (refer to
In addition to these four intensity states, the Grand Master fader, Black Out feature, and submaster faders can affect
playback intensity levels. When used in combination with the manual control intensity encoder, the Grand Master
fader and any selected submaster faders all play a part in the final intensity output level by a proportional calculation.
Grand Master/Black Out
The console provides two methods for mastering overall intensity output: the Grand Master fader and its associated
[Black Out] button. The Grand Master fader can be used to proportionally master the intensity output. The [Black Out]
button, when engaged, sets all intensities to
zero
. However, neither the Grand Master nor [Black Out] button settings
are stored into a cue/preset.
Exampl
e:
Cue Store Scenario (with all submasters deselected):
Selected channels have an intensity value of 100%.
Grand Master fader is set at 0%.
Channels are stored into the cue with an intensity value of 100%.
Submaster Faders
Submaster faders can affect the intensity output of selected luminaires prior to the Grand Master contribution,
provided the submaster is currently selected. Calculation of the final intensity output when including submaster faders
becomes more complex.
A way to visualize the impact of encoder/fader settings on intensity is to open the Luminaire Status window and view
the resulting level changes as you move each fader. (As with the two examples given on the previous page, these
instructions are intended to help show the relationship of intensity controls since it would be impossible to provide
examples for all possible combinations.)
Step
1. At
Operation
menu, select
Luminaire Status
.
Step
2. Select required channels.
Step
3. Using Intensity encoder or [Full] button, bring intensity levels to 100%.
Step
4. Select a submaster by pressing its [Select] button.
Step
5. Move Intensity encoder, submaster fader, and Grand Master fader in various
combinations and view the intensity level changes in Luminaire Status window’s
Intensity column.
This will give you an idea of how these faders and encoders work together to calculate a final intensity level for the
selected luminaires. This is important because cues/presets can be stored with intensity values.
