Parameter, ColorMix
fixtures that have a color mixing system may be operated from this tab. There are two pages of color mixing tools and one page for direct emitter control. The first page displays the color picker, and the second page displays the color chips. Tap the tab twice to get to the second page, and three times to get to the direct emitter page.
Note: The Param button is only present if you have patched fixtures with those capabilities.
Fixtures must be selected before a color choice can be applied to them. Select some fixtures on the stage map view, or with the bump buttons if the fader mode is set to channels, and then pick a color or try several colors.
The color picker is a diagram of the visible spectrum varying by hue from left to right and by saturation (paleness) from top to bottom. The color picker can be set to colors or whites mode. See Whites for more information.
A black dot is used to indicate the color selected. Press Nudge to put the color picker in fine mode. See Nudge for more information.
The second page displays the color chips. Color chips are a set of preset color chips. Color chips may be programmed to carry any color. See Setup Color Chips for more information.
Note: Not all color mixing systems can produce precise color matches and a full range of colors. It is advisable to control color on only one fixture type at a time.
Note: You may find it necessary to pick colors independently for different fixtures in order that they all produce a similar color.
The third page is for direct emitter control. Direct emitter control provides an additional method of color control that allows for the manipulation of each individual LED emitter.
When color values are set via the color picker, their values will display in parentheses when viewed in the direct emitter page.
To change an individual emitter, pick a color and wipe the value box up and down to change values.
For fixtures with fixed ranges of preset colors, such as color wheels or scrollers, use the parameter all tab.
The filmstrip may be scrolled left or right to see all the choices.
