8.10 BRIGHTNESS
Additionally to each programs brightness slider mentioned in chapter 8.6, a master brightness
control is available.
As soon as more than one Set is created
and at least one Set is currently
targeted, a sub-master for each Set is
shown.
Otherwise, only one slider is available.
It controls the brightness of all currently
targeted lights.
8.10.1 Set Sub-Masters
Each Set has its own brightness slider. Additionally, there is a master slider that controls the
brightness of all Sets simultaneously.
This is very similar to the group brightness control of common lighting desks.
NOTE:
The Set-Masters are only shown if:
a) More than one Set has been created before
b) Only Set-Targets are currently selected. Selecting any other type of target, like
“All Lights” will hide the Set-Masters. This is necessary to avoid that one lights gets
redundant brightness information; it would flicker constantly between different
brightness levels.
8.11 RUNTIME
The light is able to adjust its power to meet a certain runtime on battery.
The runtime is always calculated for a full battery.
Example:
If the light is required to light during an eight-hour event, and one hour
of setup time is scheduled, then the runtime should be set to nine
hours immediately after the first power up.
Please note, that the light should not be stored below 20°C before an event,
otherwise the runtime might be shorter than calculated.
More details on the built in battery can be found at chapter 4.2.
