Palettes 271
You will find that [Record Only], filter settings and selective store commands will be very
useful when storing color palettes.
Beam Palettes
Beam palettes can be created for all channels that have any beam parameter data. It is rare
when storing beam palettes that you will wish to include all of the beam parameters for
channels. Therefore, [Record Only], filters and selective store commands will be very useful
when storing beam palettes.
Palette Options
When recording palettes, there are three softkey options:
•
{By Type} Palettes (below)
•
{Absolute} Palettes (below)
•
{Locked} Palettes (below)
{By Type} Palettes
By Type palettes are created with 'default' channels which contain values that can be assigned
to any other channel within the same fixture type. By Type palettes can also contain discrete
channel values.
By Type palettes will display a ‘T’ in the lower corner of the direct selects and in the palette
lists. A ‘+’ will display after the ‘T’ if there are channels stored with discrete data. For more
information on by type palettes, see
Using By Type Palettes (on page 279) .
{Absolute} Palettes
Absolute palettes are palettes that when recalled the data is displayed and treated like
absolute data applied to a channel. The data is never referenced.
An absolute palette will display with an ‘A’ in the lower corner of the direct selects and in the
palette lists.
{Locked} Palettes
Locked palettes are palettes that are protected from being accidentally changed in Live.
A locked palette will display a “L” in the lower corner of the direct selects and in the palette
lists.
Locked palettes can be updated by specifically calling the channels and the record target,
[channel list] [Update] [Record target] [Enter]. Using [Update] [Color Palette] [1] [Enter]
would not work in Live for a locked palette. However locked palettes are not protected in
Blind.
Storing Palettes Live
Palettes may be stored in live or blind. There are a variety of methods for determining what
data is stored into a palette but [Record], [Record Only] and using filters are the most common
ways.
When [Record] is used, Eos will store the relevant parameter category data (intensity, focus,
color or beam) for all channels that are not currently at their default value.
[Record Only] is a type of selective store that can be used to store only the relevant parameters
that have manual data. Filters and selective storing provide additional methods to control what
is stored into a palette.
