Is it possible to control the intensity of a channel using the color parameter of another channel?

As a preface, I have no need for this actually to work, but it would be interesting to see how this would work, should it be possible.

This idea may be hard to explain but here goes: My venue has a cyc with three conventional fixtures pointing at it, each of these fixtures is comprised of three smaller conventional fixtures that have red green and blue gels on them. 

Would it be possible to have a master channel, where, changing the RGB value of this master channel, would change the intensities of each of these sub-fixtures to match?

Is this feasible? I tried to do something with multi-cell fixtures, but I couldn't get it to work.

  • This would work if the three cells (smaller conventional fixtures) are plugged into sequential dimmers, i.e.:

    • 101 - red
    • 102 - green
    • 103 - blue

    Then you can patch a generic RGB fixture starting at address 101.

    Repeat with appropriate addresses for each of the remaining large conventional fixtures.

    The color picker accuracy will depend on which gels you choose for red, green and blue.

    Hope that helps-
