Manual Control 237
You may also specify color by using the full color picker on [Tab] [2] [7]. See
Using the Color
Picker (below)
for more information.
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]
The first page of the color encoder will provide some scroller control, such as frame selection,
on the top encoder. The next three encoders will control HS, CMY, or RGB color mixing. There
will be buttons on the first page for switching between HS, CMY, and RGB. The HS controls
will include buttons for {Home}, {Min}, and {Max}. The CMY and RGB controls include buttons
for {Home} and {Max} for each of the parameters. No {Min} button will be displayed.
Note:
Color scroller data will display on the encoders and 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. This is also true
for color and gobo wheels.
Note:
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.
Note:
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. See Update Profile
(on page187)
