Assigning a Device Dimmer Trait to a Channel
Fader or Submaster
A dimmer address may be assigned to both a conventional channel and a
device trait at the same time. A device’s dimmer trait can be patched in this
way to directly control the device’s intensity via a conventional channel. The
channel could then be recorded into a submaster fader for quick access.
This would allow you to quickly adjust the device’s dimmer intensity from a
submaster while running the show.
Although possible, it is not recommended to patch other device
traits in this way.
Follow these steps to assign a device’s dimmer trait to a submaster:

Hint: By patching the dimmer or shutter trait for multiple devices to a
single channel, you can create a master blackout or dimmer for all your
automated devices.
