IOS (EOS?) colour mixing

This just hasn't been a priority for us.  HS space was where we perceived people mixing color across different mixing system types.   Can I ask in what circumstances this is an important function for you?

Thanks,

Next time the LD askes for a something to be "a little less green" :-/ This is so much easier with RGB mixing than CMY IMHO.

If it's just an internal conversion between systems I was surprised to find ETC don't give us the option. I did a search before posting and found a thread on the Congo forum so it looks like others may like the option (yes I realise they're different systems..)

It could be handy....I've only programmed one show on the Light Palette VL, but it was quick to make up some fast palettes in any colour space (hit red for red!).

I realise it's nowhere near a priority, but if it's a simple fix, I can see it could have some advantages.

As someone who spent years mixing LED's with RGB, I'll second that. It's just what I'm used to and what I can do ridiculously quickly. I would presume there are others out there like me.

Now Anne has $.04!

:-).  Will put on the list!

Hi Anne,

Do you have any information for us where this topic is on your list right now?

I could greatly use and appreciate this feature.

Thanks and all the best.

It is currently on the list to be addressed in 2012.  Sorry, but our buckets are pretty full right now through the 2.0 development cycle.  Haven't forgotten about it though.

Another bump to this function request; unless I'm out of the loop and missed such an update. With the addition of LED moving profiles into our inventory; CMY editing of RGB is useful to me and designers who are just used to working there. Especially if we are mixing these into a rig with other subtractive fixtures.

Maybe I'm in a minority, but I actually don't think virtual color controls are a good idea.  I think knowing the features of the equipment is part of the designers job -- like knowing a wash light can't do shutter cuts.  Seeing RGB control for a CMY fixture might be misleading for a fixtures capabilities.  Hue and saturation controls already give us a unifying color adjustment scheme.

Just my 0.02.

With all due respect. Cmy fixtures are capable of rgb and the other way around. For me it's really a programming speed thing. Depending on which space you are in adjusting magenta could take 2 encoder adjustments or just one. color space isn't really in line with the capability of a fixture either (for example not every cmy fixture can reach the same colors.

Obviously the HS space would still exist for those who prefer to use it.
