Device Palettes
To make programming of devices simple, it is possible to store parameters into references,
called palettes. Palettes can be recalled with one button press. You can store and recall
three types of parameter palettes. See “Palettes” on page 16.
• Focus palettes 1-24 = position information
• Color palettes 1-24 = color information
• Beam palettes 1-24 = beam information (everything except color and position)
These parameter types are also used for grouping parameters when using functions like
HOME and ALIGN.
Record Palettes
Palettes store data for selected devices only. So, to build a color palette to set all of your
color scrollers to the same frame, select all the scroller devices, set them all to the same
color frame, then record the color palette. Once recorded, you can use the palette to apply
that frame to any individually selected devices as long as those devices were included
when the palette was recorded.
N o t e : For devices with a color mixing system color palettes 1-24 are auto-generated. The select
buttons will reflect the color of the palette in COLOR and Device Select modes.
