Outputting a Palette
Select the required fixture(s).
Press the COLOUR, BEAMSHAPE or POSITION key to make the MFKs
Palette Selection Keys. Use the PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN key to select the
required page.
Press the Palette MFK to output the data recorded in that palette for the
selected fixture(s).
Note – Outputting Palettes
When outputting a palette, if a selected fixture is not programmed in the
palette, but there are one or more fixtures of the same fixture type that
are programmed in the palette, then the fixture outputs the value that is
programmed for the first fixture of that type.
Example – Fixture 1 (MAC 250) only is programmed in colour palette 5;
no other fixtures have programmed values in this palette. Fixture 7
(another MAC 250) references colour palette 5. It sees that there is no
value programmed for fixture 7 in this palette, but fixture 1 is the same
fixture type and has a value, so it uses the value stored for fixture 1.
Note – Outputting a Palette over Time
Holding down the TIME key and pressing a palette MFK will crossfade to
the palette output values in the internal Fade Time. The internal Fade
Time can be found and adjusted on Special Page 1 of the MFKs.
