ETC Element - Page 111

Patch 99
The picker displays on the left half of the CIA when you select the specific attribute ({Scroller},
{Color Wheel}, {Gobo Wheel}, or {Effect Wheels}). The picker displayed is specific to the
selected attribute (the scroll picker will display when {Scroller} is pressed, the color wheel picker
will display when {Color Wheel} is pressed, and so on).
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 reference. 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.
•
{Copy Scroller} - used to copy a scroller wheel and its calibration to another channel. See
Scroller Calibration Column (on page102) .
•
{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
fixtures. Keep in mind that any fixture has its own limitations. For example, if you have created a
custom 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.
