Master
The master can be used to set an overall limit to the brightness of the other brightness settings.
Live Master
The brightness of the LCD touchscreens, Littlites, and backlit keyboard can also be controlled by a
live master when outside of the setup display.
By default, the Littlites and backlit keyboard are controlled by the live master. Pressing the {Live
Master} button under the sliders will either include or exclude that item from being controlled. When
the button is highlighted in gray, the item can be controlled by the live master.
The live master is controlled by holding down the [Displays] key and rolling the level wheel.
Desk Lamp
Desk lamps, such as Littlites, can be dimmed from within the software application. The {DeskLamp}
slider has a range of 0% (dimmest) to 100% (brightest). The default setting is 0%. The console will
set the desk lamp to this setting on startup of the application.
The desk lamps can also be controlled by holding down [Displays] and rolling the level wheel if under
{Live Master} control.
Backlit
The brightness of the backlit keys on Eos Ti, Gio, Gio @ 5, and Ion Xe are user-definable. The level
range is from 0 through 100%, with 50% being the default level. On Element 2, this controls the
backlight for the fader position switch.
When the console has been idle for 10 minutes, the backlit keys will fade their intensity down by
10%. Any key press on either the facepanel keyboard, an external keyboard, move of the mouse, or
touch of a touchscreen will return the keys to their set intensity level.
LCD
The brightness level of the LCD touchscreens on Eos Ti and Gio can be adjusted. The range for the
brightness level is 5 through 100%, with 100% being the default level.
