Compu Live III Intermediate programming
a DIMMER fader on preprogrammed buttons like Dimmer, Zoom, Iris, Focus, etc. These faders allow
you to modify the DMX values for those particular channels without using the button Editor.
You can also use this function with conventional lighting (PAR, etc). Such a button would allow to
modify the beam intensity in real-time for one or any group of fixtures included in the button.
Example
Imagine you want to create a switch that controls dimmer levels from 100 to 200 (DMX values) with a
fader. First, create a new switch ("Button" - "New Switch"), and call it "Dimmer 100-200". Make sure you
create an EMPTY switch and that you DO NOT link all channels to Dimmer or EasyStep.
Then, edit this button by clicking on "Edit" from the "Button" menu. Once inside the Editor you can
assign the "Dimmer" function (purple button on the bottom left-hand corner) to any or all the channels
within the page. If you assign the Dimmer property using the mouse's left click, you will see a full
Dimmer, with maximum 100% and minimum 0% (255-0DMX).
If you right-click to assign the Dimmer, however, you can define the minimum and maximum levels for
that channel.
Set the minimum and maximum levels to 100 and 200 DMX, respectively, then close the Editor
and save changes. You now have a button that can control a dimmer between DMX values 100 to 200.
You can use the Toolbar Dimmer fader to change this value, if you want.
