Modifying dimmer output

Normally, when you fade a control channel, patched dimmers will output the same level.

For example, if you set a channel to 50%, the patched dimmers will output at 50%. You can

modify this by applying a proportional level to individual dimmers, or by assigning a dimmer

profile. If desired, you can apply a proportion and a profile to any dimmer. You can select

channels and set them to levels while you are viewing the patch. This way you can see the

affect of applied proportions and profiles.

Note:

Do not apply proportions or profiles to 16 Bit channels. This will yield unexpected results.

Proportional Patching

A proportion applied to a dimmer caps the output to the assigned level. For example, if you

set a proportion of 80 to a dimmer, that dimmer will only output 80% when its patched

channel is set to full (100%). Because this is a proportional setting, when the channel is set

to 50, the dimmer will output 40% (half of 80).

Proportional patching can be used when you need to match dimmers with different wattage

lamps in them, or if you want to keep a dimmer or dimmers from ever reaching its full output.

Set a proportional dimmer output level:

Step 1: On your Emphasis Facepanel or from the virtual facepanel in Emphasis

Visualization, press [Patch] to access the Patch display.

Step 2: Press <S7 - More Softkeys> <S1 - Dim> [x], where [x] is the dimmer number,

to select the dimmer. You can use [And], [Thru] and [Except] to select ranges

of dimmers.

Step 3: Press [At] [y], where [y] is the two-digit proportional level. Enter a zero before

single-digit levels (i.e., 08). Use [Full] to remove a proportional level from a

dimmer.

Dimmer Profiles

You can assign a profile to a dimmer in the Emphasis Console Patch display. A profile

governs the output level of DMX in relation to the channel level. Profiles are often used to

match dimmers with different dimming curves, compensating for any mismatches in

dimmer output by adjusting the DMX level. Profiles can also be used to preheat lamps

(warming the filaments can extend lamp life or speed the time to full output on lamps that

are bumped to full).
