Setting Intensity; Level Wheel - ETC ION Operation Manual

Setting Intensity

Channel intensity may be manually entered from the keypad, set with an intensity palette (if
programmed) or set with the level wheel. Pressing [At] after channel selection assumes an
intensity value will be added to the selected channels. You may also use the [Full] button to bring
the selected channels to their full intensity or you may use the [Out] button to fade the intensity out.
Use the Level ([Full][Full]), +% ([At] [+][+]) and -% ([At] [-][-]) keys to affect the intensity value of
selected channels. Each of these keys are set at a specific value established in the Setup
Control}, page
• Level is set by default to full (100% intensity).
• +% and -% are each set by default value of 10 points.
The following examples illustrate the various methods of setting intensity:
• [1] [+] [3] [At] [5] <0> [Enter] - selects channels 1 and 3, and sets an intensity level of 50%.
• [1] [thru] [5] [-] [4] [Full] [Enter] - selects a range of channels 1 through 5, except channel
4, and sets the intensity to full.
• [1] [thru] [8] [At] [+] [3] [Enter] - adds 30% to all intensities in the channel selection. If they
were at 50, they will now be at 80. If channels 1, 3, and 5, were at 30 and 4 was at 50, they
would be 60% and 80% intensity, respectively.
• [5] [thru] [8] [At] [-] [3] [Enter] - scales the intensities of the selected channels in the list down
30% of their current values.
• [1] [thru] [4] [At] [/] [1] [3] [0] [Enter] - scales the intensities of the selected channels in the
list up 30% of their current values. If channels 1 through 4 were at 40% intensity, this would
scale them up by 30% to a value of 52.
• [2] [+] [5] [level wheel] - roll the wheel up for greater intensity or down for less intensity.
• [1] [Full][Full] - selects channel 1 and sets it to the level as established in Setup.
• [Group] [9] [Out] - selects all channels in Group 9 and sets the intensity values for those
channels to zero. As long as channels are on the command line you can continue to address
them with commands without having to reselect them.
• 1] [0] [At] [At] - selects channel 10 and sets an intensity level of full.
For Example:
•
The selected channels are highlighted in gold, with white channel text and red intensity
values (indicating manual data). You may continue to modify channels 1 through 5 since
they are still selected and displayed on the command line.
•
This command would reduce the intensity of channels 1 through 5 by 20%.
•
You can continue manipulating the selected channels so long as the channels are selected and
displayed on the command line.
L e v e l W h e e l
You may set intensity for selected channels or addresses using the level wheel. Rolling the level
wheel upwards increases intensity. Rolling it downwards (towards you) decreases it.
