Introduction
- A Master Lighting Channel is an overall light control.
- It controls the total light intensity on the "stage".
- A Master Lighting Channel could be used for a slow fade at the beginning or end of a song, or for a total control of bringing the intensity down for the whole sequence, etc.
- There will always be a Master Lighting Channel visible in the Channel Manager in HLS. You don't have to use it if you don't want to, but you cannot delete it.
- If you apply no effects to the channel, then that means lights will run at whatever intensity they are set at in the sequence.
Using the Master Lighting Channel in HLS
- To use the Master Lighting Channel, it must first be added to a display group.
- Once the display group you have added it into is active, you will be able to add basic effects to that channel just like a regular HLS channel.
- For example, you can add a 10 second ramp down at the end of your sequence in the Master Lighting Channel. This will slowly fade all of your channels, no matter what effects they may be demonstrating during that period.
- Note: Any cells with NO effect in them on the master lighting channel means the channels will demonstrate the intensity set in the sequence.
Activating a Master Lighting Channel
- To activate a Master Lighting Channel, when you export illumination data, you will be asked if you want to make the Master Lighting Channel active.
- Check the box to make the channel active. Otherwise, your sequence will ignore any effects placed on that channel and will run lights with regular intensity.
