Selective submaster on fixtures in Cue list
Posted: Wed Nov 29, 2017 5:15 pm
In the theatre world, a common needed function is a submaster (fader) to control the percentage of the programmed value of one( or more) specific dimmer channel. This function exists on Chamsys MagicQ (and also on other dmx software products)
For example, when initially creating the light show, you put the front lights at 100%.
When touring around and playing the theatre show in other theatres, it could be that the available front lights are 2000W instead of 1000W.
Then you want to easy adjust the intensity of the front lights in all the Chaser steps to 50% (or to another percentage).
With this fader, it should be possible to put all the values of specific dimmer channels to a lower value.
For example when putting the fader on 50%, you have this situation:
original 0% -> 0%
original 10% -> 5%
original 20% -> 10%
...
original 100% -> 50%
