Storing and Using Palettes 195
[1] [Thru] [9] {Iris} {Zoom} [Record] {Beam Palette} [5] [Enter] - stores all zoom and iris data
for channels 1 through 9 to beam palette 5.
[-] [5] [Record] {Beam Palette} [Next] [Label] <name> [Enter] - stores to the next
sequential beam palette, withholding the group or channels specified and adds a label.
Note: When using a selective store, you must specify the channel list to be included
or excluded, identified by the [+] [-] modifier, as part of the [Record] command.
Otherwise all channels with appropriate non-default data will be stored in the new
palette.
Note: Selective storing is useful when you are doing a “one-time” selective store
action. If you are recording a series of palettes with only specific parameters, it will
save you time to set a record filter (see Using Filters with Palettes (on the next page)).
Storing Palettes with [Record Only]
[Record Only] is a selective record process that stores only manual parameter data. When used
to record palettes, only the manual parameter data for channels will be stored in the palette. As
with record, filters can further restrict stored data if they are enabled when using [Record Only].
See
Storing Palettes Live (on page193)
for more information.
Double pressing [Record] will post Record Only to the command line.
Note: If you use [Record Only] to record to an existing palette, the data will be added
to that palette. The original palette will not be completely overwritten. Only manual
changes will be stored to the palette.
Note: It is possible to [Update] to add specific changes to the record target. See
Update (on page198) for more information.
The following methods can be used to selectively store manual parameter data to palettes using
[Record Only]:
[Record] [Record] {Color Palette} [2] [Enter]- records only the manual color parameter data
to color palette 2.
[Record] [Record] {Beam Palette} [5] [Label] <name> [Enter] - records manual beam
parameter data for all channels and adds a label to beam palette 5.
[-] [9] [Record] [Record] {Color Palette} [Next] [Label] <name> [Enter] - stores manual
data to the next sequential color palette, withholding the group or channels specified and
adds a label.
[select channels] [Record] [Record] {Focus Palette} [2] [Enter] - stores focus palette 2, but
only includes the manual data for the specified channels and parameters.
[1] [Thru] [9] {Iris} {Zoom} [Record] [Record] {Beam Palette} [5] - stores only manual zoom
and iris data for channels 1 through 9 to beam palette 5.
Storing Palettes to Direct Selects
You can store palettes efficiently using the direct selects. Rather than using the {...Palette}
softkey and the numeric keypad to specify a palette number, you can simply select the desired
direct select for that palette.
