Radion G5 Intensity ?

[hanas]

I just want to confirm that these units are not running at 100% capacity unless all color channels (sliders), point and schedule intensity are set at 100%, correct? For example, if I have Gen 5 XR 15 Blues and am running a modified AB+ schedule with Lime, Red and Cyan set at 0% and Cool Whites at 60%, with point and schedule intensity at 100%, the unit is not running at full 100% power since those channels are no running at 100%.

I was running Hydra 52HDs previously, and those had the overdrive capability to run channels at a higher % then 100 to drive more power, but I'm assuming the Radion does not not and in order to max the unit out everything needs to be at 100%.

Are you using Mobius?

Yes, using Mobius. I know the Blues with all channels at 100% equate to the AB+ schedule, so running that at 100% intensity would essentially max out the units power.

So I’m assuming when you adjust the sliders down on some color (like white, cyan blue; red and lime) and run at 100% intensity the unit isn’t really running at 100% since those channels are turned down.

If you look at the screenshot I have scheduled - intensity 100% but only 80% power as I'm running ab+

Perfect!! Thanks for clearing that up!!

That was confusing me also. I finally started messing with the sliders and was like oh thats whats going on :)
