Effect, Intensity
Applies intensity effects to chosen channels.
Note: Intensity effects may only be applied to devices that produce light and have an intensity control channel.
How to Apply an Intensity Effect
- Select some channels.
- Go to Controls>Effects.
- Press Add Effect.
- Choose the intensity tab from the tab area.
- Select a pattern.
- Adjust the effect settings for the desired result.
Effect Settings
- Depth- The amount that the effect deviates from the static intensity set on the fixture. When set to full the fixture follows the effect entirely, and will range from zero to full.
When set to 50% the resulting effect will be half way between the fixture's static rest-state intensity (the brightness it was before the effect was chosen), and so on.
Note: For the intensity to vary fully between zero and full you should set the rest-state value to 50%, then the effect can both raise and lower the intensity by the full amount possible.
- Speed- The speed or rate that the effect runs at.
- Fan- The amount the effect is spread-out over the selected fixtures. With no fan all the fixtures change together at the same time. With increasing values of fan the fixtures respond to different parts of the effect, offset from each other.
Note: The order in which the fixtures are selected will affect how they are spread-out by the fan setting.
Running Effect Control
When effects run an icon is displayed in the vertical area to the right of the stage map. This may be selected at any time to manipulate the effects.
Effects may be edited, removed or reduced via the wheel control when they are playing back from playbacks or cues.
