Playback Intensity Level
How Playback Intensity is Determined
Earlier in this manual, intensity was discussed in relation to cue store operations (refer
to “Intensity States” chapter on page 117 and “How Faders Affect Intensity” on
page 211). This stored intensity state or level, along with the current setting of
submaster and Grand Master faders, are used in determining the final playback
intensity level for any given event.
As previously mentioned, the Grand Master fader is used to master the overall
intensity output for the console, while the individual submaster faders control the
intensity level of events being played back. Final intensity is determined by the
following combination:
• Intensity value stored in the cue or effect being played back.
• Fader setting of the submaster being used to playback the event. (If more than one
submaster is selected and their levels are different, then the HTP principle will also
be involved. Refer to “HTP (Highest Takes Precedence)” on page 254.)
• Setting of the Grand Master fader or associated [Black Out] button.
Intensity values are routed through the faders as follows:
