500ML Lighting Control Console
The LEDs above the [CLEAR] and the [I], [F], [C] and [B] buttons indicate the current state of the values:

Assigning Values to Fixture Attributes

500ML Lighting Control Console segregates common fixture parameters into four groups:
• [I] - Intensity Parameter (Dimmer, strobe, duration, etc.)
• [F] - Focus Parameters (Pan / Tilt position)
• [C] - Color Parameters
• [B] - Beam Parameters (Gobos, Zoom, Focus, etc)
Note: Remember, the programmer takes precedence over the underlying playback. Press the [CLEAR] key three
times to empty the programmer contents.

Altering Intensity (Dimmer Values) Using Multifunction Wheel

The Multifunction (dimmer) wheel on the right hand side of the console faceplate (as indicated in
can be used to increment up or decrement down the dimmer values of the selected fixtures.

Altering Intensity (Dimmer Values) Using Keypad

Numerical dimmer values (levels) may be applied directly to selected fixtures using the command line interface by
typing [@] followed by either [FULL] or the intensity value (in percent) followed the [ENTER] key.

[@] [FULL] Will set the selected fixtures to 100%
[@] [@] Will set the selected fixtures to 100%
Will set the selected fixtures Intensity DMX Value to [VALUE]
Will fan the Intensity for selected fixtures from [VALUE A] to [VALUE B]
For Example: [0] [THRU] [100] with 3 selected fixtures will set fixture 1 to 0%, fixture 2 to 50%
and fixture 3 to 100%.
Will fan the Intensity for selected fixtures from [VALUE A] to [VALUE B] and back to [VALUE A].
For Example: [0] [THRU] [THRU] [100] with 5 selected fixtures will set fixture 1 and 5 to 0%,
fixture 2 and 4 to 50% and fixture 3 to 100%.
