To illustrate Hold Time and Fade Time, consider the following illustration:
This scene list consists of four looks.
• The first look has a hold time of two seconds. The fade time is set to 1 second, so
the look fades from the starting level of zero to the ending level of 100% during the
first one second and then holds at 100% for the remainder of the look.
• The second look has a hold time of one second. The fade time is set to zero, so the
look jumps from 100% to 50% and holds at 50% for the remainder of the look.
• The third look has a hold time of one second. The fade time is set to zero, so the
look jumps from 50% to 100% and holds at 100% for the remainder of the look.
• The fourth look has a hold time of two seconds. The fade time is set to 2 seconds, so
the look fades from the starting level of 100% to the ending level of zero during the
entire two seconds allocated for the look.
To illustrate Start Delay and Fade times, consider the following illustration:
Initiate Look
Property 3: Two-second Start Delay, one-second Fade
Property 1: no Start Delay, no Fade
Property 2: Two-second Start Delay, no Fade
Property 4: Two-second Start Delay, two-second Fade
Initiate Next Look
Property 1 has zero Start Delay and zero Fade Time. If Property 1 were Beam, the
shape of the beam would change immediately from its previous setting to the new
setting upon initiating the look.
Property 2 has a two-second Start Delay and zero Fade Time. If Property 2 were Color,
the look would be initiated and then two seconds later the color would change from its
previous setting to the new setting.
Property 3 has a two-second Start Delay and a one-second Fade Time. If Property 3
were Intensity, the look would be initiated and then two seconds later, the intensity would
begin to change from its previous setting to the new setting. The transition (fade) to the
new intensity would take one second.
