About Palettes
Palettes are referenced data. This means that when included in cues or effects, changes to the
contents of the palette are propagated into all of the places the palette is stored. Four types of
palettes are available; Intensity, Focus, Color, and Beam.
Element supports up to 1,000 palettes of each of the four types. Palettes can be recorded as
decimal or whole numbers and are automatically filtered into IFCB categories. Color data cannot be
placed in beam palettes, intensity cannot be included in focus palettes, and so forth. This makes the
process of creating palettes easier, faster and less work.
Palette Types
Intensity Palettes
Intensity palettes can easily be created for use with all channels that have intensity parameter data.
See “Using Groups and Intensity Palettes” on page 129.
Focus Palettes
Focus palettes can be created for all channels that have pan and tilt functions, and positional
functions. X, Y, and Z categories are also in Focus.
Color Palettes
Color palettes can be created for all channels that have any color parameter data. Color palettes
store any combination of color data, including CMY, RGB, and HS settings, color scrollers and color
wheels.
Beam Palettes
Beam palettes can be created for all channels that have any beam parameter data, such as
shutters, iris, zoom, gobos, and strobes.
