Hello folks,
I'm using a Strand 520i at the concert hall where I work, and we have 16 ColorBlaze LED strip lights that we use for color washes and whatnot. Right now we are powering the LEDs with our theatrical dimmers. The dimmers are set to be non-dims that turn on when the channel level reaches 50%. All of the power is controlled from one of the submasters. This works, but it makes it a pain in the butt to record cues.
I was thinking about setting the dimmers to 100% at the CD80sv racks instead of the dimmers being controlled from the board.
What I would rather do is park the dimmers at the board, so that the LED power comes on anytime the board is turned on. As far as I can tell, the 520i doesn't have a park dimmer feature. Will setting the non-dim level at 0% have the same effect as parking a dimmer at full? I would try it and see what happens, but we're getting ready to start a rehearsal and I don't have time to play around with the soft patch right now.
Thanks!
