8.6 Palette Recording Options
8.6.1 Global, Per Fixture Type, and Per Fixture
When you record a palette, parameter values can be recorded as global, per fixture type, or
per fixture. The three kinds work in different ways when you apply the palette to fixtures
during programming:
Global: the palette's parameter values are applied to all selected fixtures that have that
parameter. For example, a colour palette containing hue and saturation parameters is
applied to all selected fixtures that have hue and saturation.
Per Fixture Type: the palette's parameter values are applied to all fixtures of that
type. For example, a palette containing parameter values for Studio Color 575s will only
be applied to selected Studio Color 575s.
Per Fixture: the palette's parameter values are applied only to those specific fixtures
that are both in the palette and selected in the editor. For example, a palette containing
parameter values for Studio Color 575 1 will only be applied to that fixture (and only
then if it is selected).
By default, the following rules determine how the palette is recorded:
1. Position palettes are always recorded Per Fixture.
2. If all the fixtures to be recorded have exactly the same parameter values, then the
palette is recorded as Global.
3. Otherwise the palette is recorded Per Fixture.
In the palette's editor, the parameter values in a Global palette will appear as All Types.
Similarly, a palette with Per Fixture Type values will show them grouped by fixture type ,
Make sure that you have aggregation turned on; see Aggregation. If aggregation is turn off,
the below images will look different.
