saving custom color scrolls

Hello, so, there may already be an answer for this, but in my searching of the forums I could not find it.

We have in stock several different color scrolls, and they usually change each show. So, every show I have to sit and punch in each color for each scroll we are using. Is there some way to save these to the board itself? So that when we are using a certain one again in another show I can just pull it up? It can eat up a lot of time when a show has 3 different scrolls in use.

Is this also possible with custom fixtures? Mostly I have one for an IQ with a dmx iris attached.

I get the feeling that there is probably an easy solution I just don't know, but any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  • Merge is a great way to do it, or if like me you can add all your stock scollers into the lib. Then build a "show starter" file.  Then build CP's for the one's your using for that show.  Building the lib. makes it really easy to calibrate them or build CP's.  I build CP's for my current show scrolls then bring up 1 of the channels, index it (meaning I update the CP's i built, then copy to (in blind CP) the rest of the channels that have the same scroll.)  Bingo all your scrolls are indexed nicely.  Or you calibrate then copy over, there are so many different way you could do this so it really depends on how you want program it.
