ETC Element - Using [+%] and [-%]; Remainder DIM

168 Eos Family v2.9.0 Operations Manual
Using [+%] and [-%]
Use [+%] and [-%] keys to incrementally change parameter values.
To access this function on Element, press [Shift] & [+] or [Shift] & [-].
By default, the [+%] and [-%] keys are assigned a value of 10. This can be changed in Setup.
See Manual Control (on page141) for more information.
Channel Intensity
When channels are selected, pressing [+%] increments the intensity level by 10 (or by the value
established in Setup, see Manual Control (on page141) . Alternatively, you may press [-%] to
decrement the intensity level by 10. You may use these keys consecutively to “add to” or
“subtract from” the intensity level.
To access this function on Element, press [Shift] & [+] or [Shift] & [-].
Example:
Select channels 1 through 10 and set them to an intensity level of 45% from the
keypad.
•
[1] [Thru] [1] [0] [At] [4] [5] [Enter]
Change the intensity level to 65% using the [+%] key, which is set to its default value
of 10% in the setup menu.
•
[Shift] & [+] [Shift] & [+]
Non-intensity Parameters
The [+%] and [-%] keys may be used to incrementally adjust non-intensity parameters as well.
To access this function on Element, press [Shift] & [+] or [Shift] & [-].
Example:
•
[1] {Iris} [Shift] & [+] [Shift] & [+]
•
{Zoom}[Shift] & [-] [Shift] & [-]
Remainder Dim
Note: By default, [Rem Dim] will set to zero. In Setup, you can assign a remainder
dim value of something other than zero. See Manual Control (on page141). For the
purposes of this discussion, the default value of zero will be used in examples.
[Rem Dim] temporarily provides a zero intensity to all channels except those that are currently
selected, those that are parked, or those with intensity contributions from submasters. If the
remainder dim command is reversed, the stage returns to its previous state. You may use the
following commands for remainder dim:
•
[Next] and [Last]- moves through the channel list.
•
[select channels] [Rem Dim] [Enter] - sets all non-selected channels to zero.
•
[1] [At] [6] <0> [Rem Dim] [2][0] [Enter] - sets channel 1 to 60% and all non-selected
channels active over 20% to a rem dim level of 20.
•
[Rem Dim]- clears the rem dim function and returns the stage to its previous state
