Palettes
MagicQ supports a comprehensive palette system for easy access to your favourite looks. When heads are patched, the console
automatically generates palettes for the patched heads.
There are four types of palettes corresponding to Intensity, Colour, Beam and Position. Each palette supports up to 1000 different
entries.
10.1 Using Palettes
To use a palette, select the heads you wish to apply the change to. Then open the required palette by selecting one of the Intensity,
Colour, Beam or Position Windows.
From within the window select a palette entry. That palette entry will be applied to all the selected heads.
In the Beam Window the first 5 soft buttons above the touch screen are used for selecting the Beam Page 1 to 5 – the rest of the
soft buttons are used for selecting the palette entries.
Palette entries that contain data for the currently selected heads are shown in white. Palette entries that do not have any data for
the currently selected heads are shown in grey.
In the Colour Window the top soft buttons Col Norm, Col CMY, Col RGB and Col HSI determine how the colour mix encoder
wheels are used to modify the colour.
Col Mix is used to select between Palettes and the Lee, Rosco and Generic colour charts and also to select the colour mixing
rainbows.
