Channels - Scale channel levels

Channel Scale is a multiplier applied to the intensity level. When 100%, channels are
controlled and played back at normal or recorded levels. Scale settings other than 100% will
proportionally inhibit or boost the intensity output by the channel. For example, a channel
scaled to 150% will play back 75% when actually recorded and played back at 50% by a
preset.

Scaling is mainly used in these situations:

• When the light source is too bright due to temporary change of hanging position

(100-0%)

• When you need to brighten part of a rig temporarily to adapt it for camera footage

(100-200%).

Scaling with the SCALE soft key

1. Hold the SCALE soft key in the Channels Soft key page of the main display. The channel
view will show the scale levels.

2. Use the level wheel to set the scale level 0-200% for the selected channel(s).

No scale is shown as "---".

A channel with a scaled level gets a symbol next to the level, and the scale leve is shown in
the INFO area of the Browser when the channel is selected
.
