Submaster Faders
Submaster faders can affect the intensity output of selected luminaires prior to the
Grand Master contribution, provided the submaster is currently selected. Calculation
of the final intensity output when including submaster faders becomes more complex.
A way to visualize the impact of encoder/fader settings on intensity is to open the
Luminaire Status window and view the resulting level changes as you move each
fader. (As with the two examples given on the previous page, these instructions are
intended to help show the relationship of intensity controls since it would be
impossible to provide examples for all possible combinations.)
Step 1. At Operation menu, select Luminaire Status.
Step 2. Select luminaires.
Step 3. Using Intensity encoder or [Full] button, bring intensity
levels to 100%.
Step 4. Select a submaster by pressing its [Select] button.
Step 5. Move Intensity encoder, submaster fader, and Grand Master fader in various
combinations and view the intensity level changes in Luminaire Status
window’s Intensity column.
This will give you an idea of how these faders and encoders work together to calculate
a final intensity level for the selected luminaires. This is important because cues/
presets can be stored with intensity values.
