Using By Type Palettes
Storing a By Type Palette
If {By Type} is used when recording, the lowest number channel of each fixture type will be the
default channel. Generally, when storing by type palettes, you will want only one channel of each fix-
ture type in use. Any additional channels in that fixture type will be recorded with discrete data.
[1] [Thru] [5] [Record] [Int Palette] [1] {ByType} [Enter] - Channels 1 through 5 are saved to
Intensity Palette 1. Channels 1 through 5 are of the same fixture type. Channel 1 will be the
default channel and channels 2 through 5 will be saved with discrete data.
[1] [Thru] [5] [Record] {Intensity Palette1} [Enter] - If a by type palette is recorded without using
the {By Type} softkey and the default channel is included in the record, the default channel’s
level will change and all other changes will be discrete.
[1] [Thru] [5] [Record] {Intensity Palette1} {Discrete} [Enter] - If a default channel is included in a
record where {Discrete} is used and another channel is tracking it, the default channel will be
changed to having discrete data and the lowest numbered tracking channel will become the
new default channel. All other channels in the record will also have discrete data.
Editing By Type Palettes in Blind
In Blind, the default channel’s levels will display in blue, discrete data for the other channels will dis-
play in white, and any channels that are using the default channel value will display in magenta.
[3] {By Type} [Enter] - makes channel 3 the new default channel for that device type. If another
channel for that type was the default channel, its data will now be discrete.
[1] [0] [Thru] [2] [0] {Discrete} [Enter] - changes the levels for channels 10 through 20 to dis-
crete. If any of those channels are default, the lowest numbered tracking channel will become
the new default channel.
[5] [Thru] [8] [At] [Enter] - removes the discrete data for channels 5 through 8. They will now
use the default channel’s values.
[Color Palette] [2] {Discrete} [Enter] - changes all tracking and default channels to discrete.
[Intensity Palette] [5] {By Type} [Enter] - makes the first channel of each device type a default
channel.
[Beam Palette] [3]{Cleanup} [Enter] - converts palettes created in earlier versions of Eos Family
software to by type palettes. If by type channels exist in this palette, {Cleanup} will convert any
discrete levels that match their by type channel's level to tracks.
{Make Null} can be used with by type palette when you wish to withhold a channel from responding
to a by type palette recall. The data will still display but will be in gray with a “N”. See Using {Make
Null} (on page301).
Updating By Type Palettes
Pressing {By Type} after an [Update] command, with a channel tracking but no default channel
included in the update, will cause the lowest numbered tracking channel's level to be updated into
the default channel. The tracking channel will remain tracking. This means that when updating a
default value in a by type palette, you don’t need to know the default channel number.
When a default channel is included in an [Update] command without using {ByType} and another
channel is tracking it, the default channel’s data will be changed to discrete. The lowest numbered
