, it shows the color of the Light, where the Light is pointed and any
shutter cuts that may be set. If you have multiple Lights selected, the mimic
shows the state of the first Light in the selection set. There are also
tools that appear to the left and right of the mimic.
Control Intensity
Intensity controls the relative brightness of a light. All lights have an
Intensity attribute. (Some lights, such as discharge lamps, must first be turned
on, or ‘
’, before an intensity level can be seen.)
Wheels: Directly set a light’s intensity between 0 and 100 percent,
using the green wheel
. Each tick of the wheel is 1%. Hold down Shift
and roll the wheel to get 1 DMX increment. Some lights have intensity effects,
such as Strobe, or operating parameters, such as fan speed, that are also set here
under Intensity.
Advanced: Allows you to
or ‘park’ the intensity of selected
lights. Also allows you to
recent intensity changes, or to explicitly set a
intensity (typically off). 'Locked’ Intensity attribute values are
not recorded into Memories or Cues. Further advanced options, including
, are discussed under
Libraries: Choose from a list of standard intensities or use a
Raise/Lower bar. Touching the top of the raise bar moves the light's intensities
more quicly than touching near the bottom.
IRGB: Provides a Raise/Lower bar for Intensity and direct
Red/Green/Blue (RGB) control for lights that support color mixing. When
adjusting a color mixing light, if the level of a color continues to be raised by using
the associated wheel or raise icon after a particular color bar has reached 100%,
Cognito will automatically lower the other colors until the desired color is
reached.
Effects: Shows any currently active effects on a secondary tool bar.
Intensity must be higher than zero percent for an effect to be visible. Touch the
New Effect icon to display a list of available Intensity effects.
