Multiple Intensity Channels
When a fixture with multiple intensity parameters is patched, Ion 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, from the keypad, and the encoders. Master intensity can also be set via the parameter
buttons in the CIA. {Intens} controls the master intensity. The other intensities will default to 100%.
Control of the individual intensities of a multiple intensity channel is handled using keypad with the
parameter buttons in the CIA (see Manual Control of Non-intensity Parameters (NPs), page 115) or
the encoders. Pressing the [Custom] button will map the intensity parameters to the encoders. You
can either use the encoder itself to adjust the level or you can press down the encoder of the
parameter you wish to put on the command line.
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, Ion 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.
