ETC Element - Multiple Intensity Channels; Multicell Fixtures

Basic Manual Control 165
And then assign that preset to Home in Setup (see {Home Preset} (on page133) ). Since home
does not impact intensity, any intensity values stored in the home preset will be disregarded.
Any channels that are not included in the preset assigned to Home in Setup will use their library
defaults.
Multiple Intensity Channels
When a fixture with multiple intensity parameters is patched, Element assigns it a master
intensity. The master intensity can be used to control the multiple intensities together. The
master intensity is handled in the same way as the intensity of a single intensity channel.
Levels can be set via the level wheel and from the keypad. The other intensities will default to
100%.
Control of the individual intensities of a multiple intensity channel is handled using the
parameter buttons in the CIA (see Manual Control of Non-intensity Parameters (NPs) (on
page155) ). Levels assigned to the individual intensities will act independent of each other and
the master intensity.
•
[1][0][0] {Intens 3} [At] [5][0] - sets intensity 3 of channel 100 to 50% intensity.
•
[1][0][0] [At] [7][5] - sets the master intensity of channel 100 to 75% intensity. All
intensities for channel 100 will be mastered to 75% unless they have a separate intensity
set.
In Table view, Element will default to showing all intensity parameters associated with the
channels.
In summary view, the master intensity is shown. If one of the multiple intensities has a value, an
‘+’ will display beside the master intensity.
Multicell Fixtures
Fixtures that have multiple same-type parameters can have a multicell profile assigned to them,
as designated by MC in the fixture editor. See Patching Multicell Fixtures (on page95) for more
information.
Multicell fixtures have a master channel with a whole number for a channel number and the
appropriate number of additional cells, which will have point numbers for their channel
numbers.
To control the whole fixture, select the master channel.
To control individual cells, use [.] to put {Cell} on the command line.
To control just the master, use [Shift] & [.] to put {Minus Cells}on the command line. You can
also use the syntax [1] [.] [0] or [1] {Cell} [0] to only control the master.
