6. Selecting and Modifying Fixture Parameters 157
6.3.1 Intensity
Fixture intensities can either be assigned from the keypad or using the I-Whe el, as well as
the parameter wheels and by editing directly in the editor spreadsheet.
With the @ Key
To assign intensities using the @ key and the numeric keypad:
•
Fixture 4 @ 7 0 , Enter : assigns Fixture 4 to 70%.
•
Fixture 4 @ 5 , Enter : assigns Fixture 4 to 50% (not 5%).
•
Fixture 4 @ 0 5 , Enter : assigns Fixture 4 to 5%.
To assign fixtures to full or zero:
•
Fixture 4 Fu ll : assigns Fixture 4 to full.
•
Fixture 4 Ou t : assigns Fixture 4 to zero. The Out button is on the Main Toolbar.
The intensity of a fixture can be changed relative to its current level, for example:
•
Fixture 4 @ + 5 , Enter : increases the intensity of Fixture 4 by 50%.
•
Fixture 4 @ – 1 0 , En ter : reduces the intensity of Fixture 4 by 10%.
The intensity of a fixture can be scaled proportionally, for example:
•
Fixture 4 @ / 7 0 , Ente r : scales the intensity of Fixture 4 to 70% of its original
value.
•
Fixture 4 @ / 1 2 0 , Ente r : scales the intensity of Fixture 4 to 120% of its original
value.
With the i-Wheel;
On the Hog 4 Console and on Hog 4 PC only: Moving the I-Whe el changes the level of the
selected fixtures. When selecting several fixtures and adjusting levels, the wheel will
maintain relative differences between them, so that all intensities change by the same
amount. For example, if fixture 1 is at 10%, 2 at 50% and the wheel is increased by 10%, then
fixture 1 will move to 20% and 2 will move to 60%.
By holding the Pig key whilst using the wheel, intensities will be increased or decreased in
proportion to their individual level. For example, if fixture 1 is at 10%, 2 at 50% and the wheel
is increased by 10%, then fixture 1 will move to 11% and 2 will move to 55%.
On the Hog 4 Console and Hog 4 PC only: The Nu dge Up and Nudge Down keys can be
used to increase and decrease the intensity by a preset amount. The size of the increment is
10% by default, but you can change it in the Prog ramming pane of the User Pr eferences
window.
Using Pig + Nudge Up and Pig + Nudge Down will create a half nudge step. It will
increase or decrease the intensity by half of the assigned amount. For instance if the nudge
value is set to +10% a Pig + Nudge Up will produce +5%.
