General Information
Proportional Patch
If you want the Output to be a scaled value of what is displayed in the channel grid,
change this value to something other than 100%. Valid numbers are between 1%
and 200%. For example, if you have Channel 1 patched to Output 1 with a
Proportional Patch of 50%, when Channel 1 is showing a value of 80% in the
Channel Grid, the Output will only be at a level of 40%. Or, if you have a
Proportional Patch of 200% and Channel 1 is showing a value of 10% in the
Channel Grid, the Output will be set to 20%. (NOTE: Output values will never
exceed 100%).
Limiting Outputs
If you enter values for Output Min or Output Max, you can limit the upper and/or
lower limits of an Output, regardless of how the control channel wants to affect it.
The fade profile will be the same elsewhere in the fade path, but as a limit is
reached, the value will cease to move. Valid entries are between 0% and 100%.
Profiling the Output
Select from the combo box to change the Profile of the Output. For example, if you
choose Inverted, when the control channel reads 100% in the Channel Grid, the
Output will actually be at 0%. The following profiles are available: Linear; Snap at
Start; Snap at End; Zig Zag, Squares Law; Invert; Slow Start; Fast Start; Fast End;
Damped; Slow End; Non-Dim; 35% Jump Start
Parking an Output
If you choose any of the Park options, the Output will never change from that value,
regardless of where the control channel wants to set it. Parking Outputs is at the top
of the Fade Resolution pecking order.
Output Devices
On new shows, the DMX outputs on the back of your console hardware are mapped
to Palette Outputs 1 through 1024. You can configure the Output Devices by
