ION&VL500 \ examining palettes

To expand on what Sarah posted, it is a "feature" of the VL500 which is a legacy from the VL5.

I am working with some at one of the theatres I work at, and I hate them.  I especially love how the manual talks about the blue wheel being a continual gradient from 0 to 255.  If you count magenta as part of the blue gradient.  It is especially fun to tell a designer, "No the fixture won't do a pale blue, but I can do that color with the SeaChangers."  Grrrr!

As I understand it, the "pastel" range for the VL500 has a more uniformed blue dichroic, but then you lose the saturation at the full end.

Oh, and when we called V*L tech support to ask about it, they didn't know what we were talking about, and finally we got an answer from them three WEEKS later.

Now, if they would just put a SeaChanger in a Revolution, we'd have a fixture that would blow the V*L away.

Take care,

John
