MXI Intensity question

When you're in Maxwell Render you can adjust the MXI Intensity as well as, of course, Shutter/ISO. Is there any difference between adjusting the Intensity, Shutter, and ISO?

The intensity adjustment is ment for adjusting the intensity of an image when you want to use it as an MXI emitter, brighter parts will become brighter giving more light when you use it in a scene. In the case of a single MXI file, changing ISO or SS will have the same effect - changing the exposure. Changing the shutter speed however will have an impact also on motionblur in case you have any in your render, so if you're happy with the motion blur in an animation or still frame from an animation and want to change the exposure you should only change the ISO.
