7.10 Using Palettes with times

Palettes can be applied with a time by simply typing in a number of seconds before selecting the Palette

- this is very useful for quickly setting fade times when recording Cues or for busking in effects. In

addition you can use FAN mode to quickly spread different times across a number of heads.

For example, typing in 3 before selecting a position will cause a fade to the position over 3 seconds.

Entering FAN mode and then typing 3 before selecting a position causes the heads to move to the

position with a spread of 3 seconds - i.e. the first head moves immediately whilst the last head takes 3

seconds.

You can set both delay and fade times in FAN mode by entering delay / fade. For example to move all

your heads onto a position in turn, type 2 / 2 before selecting the position.

A short-cut can be used to perform fanned fades – in non fan mode type a time followed by * before

selecting the Palette to fan the fade across the currently selected heads.

Applying Palettes with times and fanned times can be applied to all Palette types including Beam and

Colour. For example to perform a gradual fade from one colour to the next over all your colour mixing

heads, select the heads, enter FAN mode and then type in 5 before selecting a colour palette entry.

You can modify the order that a fan is applied to heads by selecting the heads in the appropriate order -

at any time you can invert the order using the Selection soft button in the Group Window.

Minimum fade times can be applied using the + operator, for example to perform a fade of between 2

and 6 seconds to a new position on a group of heads enter FAN mode, type 2+4 and select the new

position. The first head will fade over 2 seconds whilst the last will fade over 6 seconds.

To use both minimum delay and fade times type, for example, 2+4/3+5. This gives delay times of

between 2 and 6, and fade times of between 3 and 8 seconds.

Whenever a Palette is selected with a time the times are stored in the programmer. This makes it very

easy to build up Cues with times. Simply select the Palettes you want with the required times and

Record the Cue. The Cue will playback with the required times.

7.11 Making Palettes into Cue Stacks

You can copy one or more palettes from the Position, Colour or Beam windows to a Playback (use

SHIFT + cursor keys to select multiple items). This enables quick generation of Cue Stacks based on

your palettes.

The Cue Stack will include one Cue for every Palette selected. The Cues will contain values from the

Palette for the currently selected heads. Other attributes can be added using Record Merge.

If a Cue Stack already exists on the Playback, then the extra Cues are appended to the end of the Cue

Stack.

7.12 Selecting Palettes from the keypad

You can now select palettes from the keypad. Set the Setup Option, “Select channels in Beam, Col,

Pos” to yes (default in theatre mode). To select a palette use:

1 2 ... 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 ... 138 139
