Palettes 273
Note:
When using a selective store, you must specify the channel list to be included
or excluded, identified by the [+] [-] modifier, as part of the [Record] command.
Otherwise all channels with appropriate non-default data will be stored in the new
palette.
Note:
Selective storing is useful when you are doing a “one-time” selective store
action. If you are recording a series of palettes with only specific parameters, it will
save you time to set a record filter (see
Using Filters with Palettes (on the next page) ).
Storing Palettes with [Record Only]
[Record Only] is a selective record process that stores only manual parameter data. When
used to record palettes, only the manual parameter data for channels will be stored in the
palette. As with record, filters can further restrict stored data if they are enabled when using
[Record Only]. See
Storing Palettes Live (on page 271) for more information.
On Element Classic, double pressing [Record] will post Record Only to the command line.
Note:
If you use [Record Only] to record to an existing palette, the data will be
added to that palette. The original palette will not be completely overwritten. Only
manual changes will be stored to the palette.
Note:
It is possible to [Update] to add specific changes to the record target. See
Update (on page 276) for more information.
The following methods can be used to selectively store manual parameter data to palettes
using [Record Only]:
•
[Record Only] [Color Palette] [2] [Enter]- records only the manual color parameter data
to color palette 2.
•
[Record Only] [Beam Palette] [5] [Label] <name> [Enter] - records manual beam
parameter data for all channels and adds a label to beam palette 5.
•
[-] [9] [Record Only] [Color Palette] [Next] [Label] <name> [Enter] - stores manual data
to the next sequential color palette, withholding the group or channels specified and
adds a label.
•
[select channels] [Record Only] [Focus Palette] [2] [Enter] - stores focus palette 2, but
only includes the manual data for the specified channels and parameters.
•
[1] [Thru] [9] {Iris} {Zoom} [Record Only] [Beam Palette] [5] - stores only manual zoom
and iris data for channels 1 through 9 to beam palette 5.
Storing Palettes to Direct Selects
You can store palettes efficiently using the direct selects. Rather than using the [...Palette]
hard key and the numeric keypad to specify a palette number, you can simply touch the
desired direct select for that palette from the touchscreen.
