226 Eos Family Operations Manual
When [Record] is used, Eos will store the relevant parameter category data (intensity, focus, color or
beam) for all channels that are not currently at their default value.
[Record Only] is a type of selective store that can be used to store only the relevant parameters that
have manual data. Filters and selective storing provide additional methods to control what is stored
into a palette.
Storing Palettes with [Record]
The most common method to create palettes is to store them from Live. Palettes can be numbered
from 0.001 through 9999.99, and each can be given a label. [Record] will store the relevant current
parameter data for all channels with non-default data for the appropriate palette type, as modified
by the filter settings.
For Example:
Assume you want to create a custom color using the color picker and store that data to a
custom color palette. First you must select channels.
[1] [Thru] [1] [1] [Enter]
Using the color picker, adjust the hue and saturation levels to the desired look. When the
color is selected, store the palette.
[Record] [Color Palette] [4][Label] <FOH Blue> [Enter]
Notice that when you recorded the color palette, all of the color data for channels 1 through
11 is displayed in live with the reference “CP 4”. Because [Record] was used, it stored all of
the color parameters for those channels.
Note: [Record] will store the entire parameter category into a palette. [Record Only] stores
just the values you have adjusted manually to the target palette. See Storing Palettes with
[Record Only] (on the facing page).
When a palette is created, the channels and the parameters involved in the record action are auto-
matically set to the palette reference (“CP 4” 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 palettes using [Record]:
[Record] {Color Palette 1} - records all color parameter data to color palette 1 and shows it as
the first color palette direct select. See Storing Palettes to Direct Selects (on page228)for
more information.
[Record] [Focus Palette] [2] [Label] <name> [Enter] - records focus parameter data for all chan-
nels not at their default state and adds a label to focus palette 2.
[Record] {Color Palette} [Next] [Enter] - records data to the next sequential color palette num-
ber.
Selective Storing Palettes with [Record]
Palettes can also be created using selective storing, which allows you to specify only the channels
and or parameters that you want to store.
