this option to invert the DMX values for the control channel before transmitting. Output values are
calculated as 255-value. This function affects the entire control channel used for intensity control. This
function is included mainly for backwards compatibility (see updated functions below).
Invert Intensity value range (*)
This function inverts the DMX values as soon as the value is within the range specified in intensity
min/max values. Use this switch when the fixture implements maximum intensity at lowest DMX value
and minimum intensity at highest DMX value. Note, this function inverts the DMX value as soon as it
is within the intensity control range regardless of actual source of the value. This includes sources
such as default DMX values - to set a default DMX value to intensity off for a fixture with inverted
intensity, type the DMX value for maximum intensity into the default DMX values list (the value is
automatically inverted to minimum intensity before being transmitted). Note with this option AND
grand master control both enabled make sure to check Limit GM to intensity range as well, otherwise
the Grand Master may produce unwanted results.
Limit Grand Master (GM) to intensity range (*)
This option limits the Grand Master (and sub masters) 'working range' - they will only take effect when
the DMX value is within the given intensity interval. Use this function to stop the GM affecting other
functions on the intensity channel (such as shutter or strobe commands). If the action of the GM is
not limited, it will affect the whole Intensity control channel.
(*) Note - these options are new to version 2.5 build 6 - they will be ignored if the profile is used on an
earlier LightJockey version.
Examples:
Single function Intensity channels
Example 1 (single function command channel)
DMX 0-255 : Intensity 0-100%.
Set Intensity Min/Max to 0 and 255 respectively and enable GM/Intensity control.
Example 2 (single function command channel)
DMX 0-127 : Intensity 0-100%, DMX 128-255 : no function.
Set Intensity Min/Max to 0 and 127 respectively and enable GM/Intensity control.
Example 3 (single function command channel, inverted)
DMX 0-255 : Intensity 100%-0%,
Set Intensity Min/Max to 0 and 255 respectively. Enable GM/Intensity control and check Invert
Intensity value range (or entire intensity channel for backwards compatibility)
Example 4 (single function command channel, inverted)
DMX 0-127 : Intensity 100%-0%, DMX 128-255 : N/A.
Set Intensity Min/Max to 0 and 128 respectively. Enable GM/Intensity control and check Limit GM to
intensity range
Examples:
Multi function Intensity channels
Example 5 (Multi function command channel)
DMX 0-127 : Intensity 0-100%, DMX 127-255 : strobe (or whatever)
Set Intensity Min/Max to 0 and 127 respectively and enable GM. Also check Limit GM to intensity
range (unless the GM should affect the whole channel).
Example 6 (Multi function command channel, Intensity inverted)
DMX 0-99 : strobe (or whatever), DMX 100-200 : Intensity 100%-0%, DMX 201-255 : strobe (or
whatever)
Set Intensity Min/Max to 100 and 200 respectively and enable GM/Intensity control. Also check Invert
