Output Level Conventions

Output priority is determined by the parameter definition as defined in the Device Builder.
(see "Device Builder" page
for moving lights dimmers may also be LTP. Most other parameters are output as LTP.

HTP (Highest Takes Precedence)

Intensity output works according to HTP (Highest Takes Precedence). When the dimmer is
controlled by more than one source, the highest intensity level between the sources is output.
Example: Channel 6 is in scene 1 @50%, in scene 5 @ FL, and in scene 9 @ 25%. Scene 1 is
loaded to playback 1, scene 5 to playback 5, and scene 9 to playback 9 and all the playback sliders
are full, therefore channel 6 is output according to its dimmer setting in scene 5 (FL). Pulling down
playback 5 fades channel 6 to 50% as output from scene 1 on playback 1.

LTP (Latest Takes Precedence)

The last playback device that executed a playback command grabs output priority. Go commands, a
slider moved off its 0% limit, and pressing the flash key are playback commands.
Most parameters, except dimmer, usually work on the principle of LTP (Latest Takes Precedence).
LTP parameters may fade or jump between values.
