Intensity View
   

Use the Intensity view to set the intensity (‘level’ or ‘output level’) of a colour device.

The intensity setting is the same as the ‘level’ setting in the scene table and elsewhere in DALI properties.  You can adjust the levels of non-colour (and colour) devices using the Scene Table or Channel Graph.

Access the Intensity view

When a colour device is selected (in the Devices view, the Groups view, or the Scene Table view, for example), access the Intensity view using:

Main drop-down menus: View > Intensity
Main toolbar:
Window tabs:

The Intensity tab may be available at the side of the Scene Table or Channel Graph view.

Adjust the intensity

Use one of these methods to adjust the intensity (level) of the scene:

Palette

Select a swatch in the palette to pick an intensity level (then click OK in the Scene Table)

The palette contains predefined intensity levels (output levels) swatches and custom intensity levels swatches.

Predefined intensity swatches

The predefined intensity swatches are 0, 10, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 75, 80, 90 and 100.

You cannot delete or adjust a predefined swatch.

Custom (user-defined) intensity swatches

You can create custom intensity swatches and save them in the palette.

These custom intensity levels are saved when you save a workgroup design.
