MANUAL CONTROL : ENCODER CONTROL

02.9651.0001 C 23-Sep-02 61

Intensity

Intensity output can be controlled by the encoder marked Intensity. This knob can be

used to adjust the brightness of the luminaire’s beam. Six buttons to the right of the

Intensity encoder are also associated with the intensity function. (Intensity also affects

how a cue is stored, however, this topic will be discussed in more detail in “Intensity

States” on page 117.)

• [Full] sets selected luminaires to full intensity (100%).

• [Out] sets selected luminaires to an out* or inactive state (no parameter data, 0% level).

• [Mark] sets selected luminaires to a marked* state (0% level).

• [Zero] sets selected luminaires to zero* intensity (“hard zero”, 0%).

• Shutter [Open] is used with luminaire strobe or douser mechanisms.

• Shutter [Close] is used with luminaire strobe or douser mechanisms.

* For a more in-depth explanation, refer to “Intensity States” on page 117.

Color

Color can be controlled by the soft encoders when [Color] is selected. These knobs

can be used to adjust or change the hue and saturation of the beam’s color.

The soft encoders will be mapped as follows:

Encoder 1 - BLUE (open/close)

Encoder 2 - AMBER (open/close)

Encoder 3 - MAGENTA (open/close)

Encoder 4 - WHEEL (open/close) - also controls gel scrollers.

w/ [Shift] button pressed - WHEEL SPIN (max/stop)

Encoder 5 - FROST (in/out)

Beam

Beam can be controlled by the soft encoders when [Beam] is selected. These knobs

can be used to set all the parameters associated with a luminaire’s beam.

The soft encoders will be mapped as follows:

Encoder 1 - BEAM (open/close)

Encoder 2 - EDGE (hard/soft)

Encoder 3 - ZOOM (large/small)

Encoder 4 - STROBE (max/stop)

Encoder 5 - PRISM (in/out) w/[Shift] button pressed - SPIN (stop/max)

Encoder 6 - P Index (open/other) w/[Shift] button pressed - ROTATE (stop/max)
