Device Palettes - Introduction
A Palette is a memory for all or some parameters of a Moving Device. A Palette is used to load these
parameters quickly, and stored as a reference in Presets for playback.
Direct selects are important for accessing Palettes. See Direct Selects .
There are four kinds of Palettes
Type Key Parameters
Focus Palettes [FOCUS] Position parameters like
pan, tilt...
Color Palettes [COLOR] Color parameters like
cyan, magenta, yellow,
color wheel...
Beam Palettes [BEAM] Beam parameters like
gobo, shape, shutter, focus,
iris...
All Palettes [PALETTE] All parameters
"By device" or "By device type"
Palettes usually store individual values for all devices. Color and Beam Palettes can be stored for one
device, and reused for all devices of the same type. This choice is available in the recording popup.
Palettes in Presets
When a Palette is used to position a Device before recording a Preset - the Palette is referenced, not
the individual values for each Device. This means that changing the Palette will update this reference
in the whole Play.
