How do you apply custom colors to effects?

Hello, I'm new to the system, have a limited understanding. Using a Nomad Puck with a touch screen, no physical control surface aside from a keyboard and mouse. I'm trying to make cue where LED tape pulses a specific color not like any available in the presets. How do I do that?

  • One of the best things about the Eos family is that there are many routes to the look you want. Getting non-gel or 'standard' color values is one of the easiest, but with many details.

    At the core it's about setting different levels for each of the color parameters that any fixture has. Whether that's RGB, CMY, WW/CW, or ROAYCBI. So in live select a channel and look at it's detailed parameters (table format, or activate the ML tools.) There you can see and change the Red value, or whatever.

    The simplest method is probably to open the color picker tab. There are several 'color spaces' but generally you can poke the screen and get THAT color. Take a look at the gear icon for that tab (and the manual) to pick the color graphic that make you happiest.

    "Pulsing" sounds like an effect to me. Create 2 color palettes. Then in effects create a new one. Here is a view of one of my basic color effects that can be dropped to 2 'actions' to give you a pulse.

    A quick review of the effects tutorial video will add some details. Chapter 10 http://www.etcconnect.com/Support/Tutorials/Eos-Family-Videos/Level-2-Enhanced-Skills.aspx

    Make sense?
