Recording Intensity Palettes Live
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. Intensity palettes
contain both channel and intensity information. Groups only contain channel selection information.
Intensity palettes can be stored as whole numbers (such as Intensity Palette 5) or as decimals of
tenths or hundredths (such as Intensity Palette 2.5 or Intensity Palette 7.65).
For Example:
To record an intensity palette, you must first select channels and give them an intensity
level.
• [1] [Thru] [1] [0] [At] [Full] [Enter]
If channels 1 through 10 are the only channels currently with a level, you can go ahead and
record the intensity palette.
• [Record] [Int Palette] [1] [Enter]
However if you have other channels currently with levels, and you don’t want those
channels to be part of the intensity palette, you will need to reselect channel 1 through 10
before recording the palette.
• [1] [Thru] [1] [0] [Record] [Int Palette] [1] [Enter]
-or-
• {Select Last} [Record] [Int Palette] [1] [Enter]
Using {Select Last} will put the channels you last selected back onto the command line.
When an intensity palette is created, the channels and the intensities involved in the record action
are automatically set to the palette reference (“IP 1” in this instance). To view the absolute data for
those channels, press and hold the [Data] key.
The following methods can be used to store intensity palettes using [Record]:
• [Record] [Int Palette] [2] [Label] <name> [Enter] - records intensity data for all channels not
at their default state and adds a label to intensity palette 2.
• [Record] [Int Palette] [Next] [Enter] - records data to the next sequential intensity palette
number.
• [1] [Thru] [3] [Record] [Int Palette] [2] [Label] <name> [Enter] - records the intensity data
for selected channels 1 through 3 and adds a label to intensity palette 2.
