126 Eos Family Operations Manual
The picker displays buttons for the standard scroll or wheel type of the selected channel. The default
selection is the wheel as shipped from the manufacturer (derived from the fixture library). Displayed
to the left of the standard scroll/wheel selection is a list of each color/gobo as they are installed in the
selected device (frame by frame). When the color or pattern image is available, it will display next to
the frame name.
In the above image, {ETC Scroll} is the default scroll for the selected ETC Source Four Revolution. The
list of gel colors as they are installed in the scroll are displayed to the left with a color chip for easy ref-
erence. Selecting any other type, such as {Martin Scroll 2}, updates the frame list.
The softkeys displayed beneath the picker are {Clear Calib}, {Copy Scroller}, {Clear}, {New}, {Copy},
{Edit}, and {Delete}.
{Clear Calib} - clears out the calibration data for the whole scroller wheel and returns to the
wheel’s default data.
{CopyScroller} - used to copy a scroller wheel and its calibration to another channel. See
Scroller CalibrationColumn (on page130).
{Clear} - clears the selection type from the selected channel in the picker.
{New} - creates a new scroll or wheel and provides additional softkeys to enable the Editor. See
Using the Editor (below) .
{Copy} - makes a copy of the currently selected scroll/wheel type, which can then be edited
using the editor. See Using the Editor (below) .
{Edit} - used to edit an existing scroll or wheel.
{Delete} - used to remove the selected frame only from a scroll or wheel that you have created.
Using the Editor
The editor is used to create new or edit copied scrolls and wheels. While in the picker display, you can
create a new scroll or wheel by pressing the {New} softkey or make a copy of an existing scroll or
wheel by selecting the source, then pressing the {Copy} softkey.
The editor does not limit how many frames you can add to the scroll or wheel for the selected fix-
tures. Keep in mind that any fixture has its own limitations. For example, if you have created a cus-
tom color scroll with 30 frames, your selected fixture type may only provide you access to the first
24 frames that you created. This applies to wheels as well.
Note: If you try to select an existing scroll or wheel, the console will display a warning if it
has more frames than are supported by your device.
When using the editor, the following softkeys are available for use:
{Insert} - inserts a new frame above the selected frame.
{Delete} - removes the selected frame.
{Edit} - changes the selected frame.
{Invert} - reverses the order of the frames.
{Done} - completes the editing process.
Creating a new scroll or wheel
When you create a new scroll or wheel, {New Wheeln} appears in the wheel list as the selected but-
ton. The frame list will be empty with only “New” displayed in frame 1.
