Remainder Dim
[Rem Dim] temporarily provides an intensity level to all channels except those that are currently
selected, those that are parked, or those with intensity contributions from submasters. When the
remainder dim command is cleared, the stage returns to its previous state. The default remainder
dim value is 0, but this can be changed in Setup. For more information, see
. You may use the following commands for remainder dim:
• [Next] and [Last]- moves through the channel list.
• [select channels] [Rem Dim] [Enter] - sets all non-selected channels to the remainder dim
level as defined in Setup.
• [1] [At] [6] <0> [Rem Dim] [2][0] [Enter] - sets channel 1 to 60% and all non-selected
channels active over 20% to a rem dim level of 20. [Rem Dim]- clears the rem dim function
and returns the stage to its previous state.
Pressing [Rem Dim] again releases all channels from rem dim mode and restores the stage to its
previous state. Using the [Next] and [Last] buttons releases the current selected channel from
Remainder Dim mode and sets its intensity to zero, while selecting the next or last channel and
continuing Rem Dim operation.
For Example:
Assume channels 5 through 9 are selected and set at an intensity level of 50% and
channels 10 through 15 are selected and set at an intensity level of 70%. Select channel 9
and dim the remaining channels.
•
[9] [Rem Dim] [Enter]
Channel 9 remains at its intensity level of 50% and all remaining channels are dimmed to
the rem dim level.
•
[Next]
Selecting [Next] changes the channel selection to channel 10 which returns to its intensity
level of 70%, and all remaining channels including channel 9, are dimmed to the rem dim
level.
•
[Rem Dim]
Pressing [Rem Dim] again will return all channels to their previous levels.
[Rem Dim] can be used in groups including the use of [Next] and [Last] buttons to progress
through the channels within the selected group.
When set to a value other than zero, all Rem Dim commands will bring intensity to this level instead.
However it won’t bring an intensity up. For example, if the rem dim level in setup is set to 50%,
[Rem Dim] will drop any value above 50% to 50%, but not raise the intensity of the channels
currently below 50%.
Rem Dim /
Rem Dim levels can either be an absolute value, such as Full or 50%, or a proportional value, which
would set the levels to a percentage value of their current levels. To use a proportional value, press
[/] before entering the percentage value.
For Example:
Assume that channels 1 through 10 are selected and set to an intensity level of 60. Select
channel 1 and dim the remaining channels.
•
[1] [Rem Dim] [/] [5][0] [Enter]
Channels 2 through 10 will be dimmed to 30.
