Recording Palettes
Programming a palette is simple and very similar to recording a cue.
Set up the fixture outputs as required, ensuring that the correct parameters are tagged. To
record the data as a colour palette, enter the following command:
RECORD COLOUR N ENTER (N = palette number).
If you wish to record attributes other than the default for the palette, these can be selected
on the Record Options Window on the touch screen before pressing the ENTER key.
To record the data as a beamshape, position or effects palette, simply replace the
COLOUR part of the above command with BEAM, POSITION or EFFECTS.
Naming Palettes
To assign a name to a palette enter either of the following commands:
COLOUR N SET or SET COLOUR N ENTER
Type in the name using the external keyboard and then press the ENTER key to confirm.
Outputting Palettes
To apply or output a palette - select a fixture or group of fixtures and then enter one of the
following commands:
COLOUR N ENTER Snaps the outputs to the palette values
COLOUR N TIME ENTER Fades the outputs in time defined by the Time UDF
COLOUR N TIME X ENTER Fades the outputs in X seconds.
If any of the selected fixtures are not actually programmed in the applied palette, but there
are one or more fixtures of the same type that are programmed, the fixture will use the
values programmed for the first fixture of the same type.
If the fixture data in the Program Window is then recorded into a cue, UDF or UDK, the
desk will record the palette reference rather than the actual parameter value.
