I'm doing my first set up (and learning as I go) in a high school and just connected a set of 12 LED lights to the board.
LED's are iLED 64. They have 5 parameters, Red, Green, Blue, Master Dimmer, and Strobe. You have to run all parameters.
The board is an old ETC 48/96.
When I connected them, I found to turn red on that I needed to increase the lights's red and master dimmer parameters on the board. For example, if the light was running on channels 1-5 I had to increase channel 1 and 4. Is this normal in an older style board? For shows, instead of running in "1 to 1" mode where each parameter matches the channel, would the correct way to do this is to group the parameters to channels as follows:
Fixture 1
1- 1 (red), 4 (dimmer)
2- 2 (green), 4 (dimmer)
3- 3 (blue), 4 (dimmer)
Fixture 2
4- 6 (red), 9 (dimmer)
5- 7 (green), 9 (dimmer)
6- 8 (blue), 9 (dimmer)
And so on.... so when each channel is increased it automatically increases the dimmer too?
Thanks for the advice.
