• RGB color-mixing
• Selection from a color wheel or scroller
You may also specify color by using the hue and saturation (HS) color picker and gel picker.
Regardless of how the color is stored (HS, CMY, or RGB), they always fade in native space unless
Allow HS Fades has been enabled in Setup. For more information, see
{Allow HS Fades}, page 44 .
It is also possible to set non-intensity parameter data with direct entry using the control keypad and
using the parameters on the CIA.
• [1] [At] [4] <0> {Cyan} [5] [5] [Enter]
Color scroller data will display on the displays as frame numbers, F1, which would be frame 1, F2
for frame 2, etc. F1.5 is halfway between 1 and 2. F2+ will display if the frame is less than 2.5 and
F2- if the frame is greater than 1.5. After the frame number, the gel number will also be displayed.
Frame numbers can be used from the command line. [2]{Scroller}[5][Enter] will send channel 2’s
scroller to frame 5. Frames can also be selected by using the DMX value for that frame. Pressing
[/] twice will post DMX to the command line. [3] {Scroller} [/][/][2][5][5] [Enter] will send channel
3’s scroller to the frame with the DMX value of 255.
Adjusting Parameters Using + and -
[+] and [-] can be used to adjust parameters from the command line. When using [-], you will need
to preface the command with [+] if you want to remove from the current value.
For Example:
• [Channel List] {Pan} [1][0] - sets to 10 degrees.
• [Channel List] {Pan} [+] [1][0] - adds 10 degrees.
• [Channel List] {Pan} [-] [1][0] - sets to -10 degrees.
• [Channel List] {Pan} [+] [-] [1][0] - removes 10 degrees.

information is also available using [About] (see
Using About, page 177 ).
For Example:
• [1] [1] [Enter] {Lamp Cntrls}
-or-
• [1] [1] [Enter] [About] {Lamp Cntrls}
This screen displays any lamp controls associated with the selected channel (this is also the “Lamp
Control” subscreen of About). If the channel is a conventional (intensity-only) fixture, no parameters
N o t e : Dual scroller fixtures are addressed as 0-100% instead of by frame numbers. You
may need to update your fixture before this feature will work.
