Assigning Editor Groups
Channels and spots in the editor, and selected spot parameters can be assigned to
controllers.
When channels and spots are assigned without specifying a dimmer intensity; you can fade
the dimmer of the channel or spot from 0% (or the current output) to Full.
Channels and spots may be assigned with a specified dimmer intensity. In this case, the
specified dimmer intensity is reached when the controller is at 100%.
Continuous parameters assigned to controllers fade from tracking or output. Discrete and
mixed parameters jump to the controller value.
