Fader

From English DMXCWiki

A fader corresponds to a slider on a hardware controller.

A fader can be moved on-screen with the mouse or arrow keys, using the slider on the hardware controller or via MIDI devices. Each fader allows you to adjust the 256 values defined within DMX, giving you control over light intensity, color, gobos etc. depending on the type of DMX equipment you have connected. The selected fader can be used for the refection between 0 and 100%. The term “fade” describes a floating transit between two scenes.

Some explanations:

The procedure, which blends the scenes, works with per cent values therfore from 0 to 100%. The number of substeps is on the one side defined by the length of the fade (the shorter the fade the fewer steps) and on the other side through the settings.
First, the fade-in-time (ms) is divided by the value which is set in the Configuration. The result is the number of steps, which is limited up to 50 steps at the moment.
