Controlling Intensity

As we have seen, moving one or more of the multifunction faders while in Fixtures mode will set intensity to a level. The intensity level of a whole group can be adjusted or set when in group mode (press the GRP mode button).

Intensities can also be controlled from the Layout Window. The 0% and 100% buttons can be used to quickly turn fixtures on and off, while on the QuickQ 20 and QuickQ 30 the bottom right encoder can be used to accurately adjust the intensity of the selected fixtures.

The Intensity Window provides control over both individual and all selected fixtures. Go to the Home Window and select the Intensity button to open the Intensity Window.

The larger fader on the left controls all currently selected fixtures. Selected fixtures can additionally be controlled on QuickQ 20 and 30 consoles using the Intensity encoder wheel displayed in the bottom right.

You can modify individual fixture intensities by adjusting their faders. When a fixtures' intensity is changed the button will briefly show the intensity value in percent.

In addition at the top of this window there are buttons to lamp on and lamp off the selected fixtures. If you have arc lamps then it may be necessary to turn the arc lamps on(Lamp On) after applying power and to turn them off(Lamp Off) before powering down the fixture. Consult your fixture manufactures documents for the correct operation.
