Eos Color Picker Missing Standard Gel Colors

Hi there!

Take a look in color library number 5 -- Rosco Roscolux.  I suspect you might be looking in library number 4 -- Rosco Other.  The Rosco 300's (365, 372, etc...) are in numeric order, not swatchbook order.

Yeah. I think you might be on to something. My programmer said he remembered more Rosco colors being there (in library 5), but I just went up to the booth and looked and it looks like the whole Roscolux Library to me. Thanks for the help.

What's the idea behind Rosco Other any way?

On a side note, I would have realized this earlier except that mirror mode still shows the weird double command line and blocks the navigation buttons at the bottom of the color picker window if it's on the same display as the collapsed CIA. :(

I am experiencing a similar issue.  I am running an ETC ION with the recently released upgrade.  I have several Wybron CXI color scrollers (patched as compound channels) and when I select the channel and go into the color picker (either in the gel picker in the moving light controls or the color picker as a tab) only about 20 colors appear. I recently (yesterday) updated the library for the scrollers and am out of options.  Any ideas what it could be???

Hi there,

With 1.9.5 software, there was a change in how the console handles dual scroller (Wybron CXI, Apollo MXR, etc...) color mixing.  In 1.9.5, we only expose the colors that the manufacturer (in this case, Wybron) says that the scroller can meet.  

The other change in CXI profiles is that we have the scroller 1 and scroller 2 channels set as 0-100% levels (matching the color guide in the manual), instead of frame (F1, F2, etc...) values.

I think this is "design intent". The only gels shown in the picker are those explicitly listed by the scroller manufacturer. The debate during the beta was 50/50 between the close enough camp and those that work with picky professional LDs and did not want approximations. The picky professionals won on the coin toss.

Awesome...completely makes sense now...Thank you so much!

I don't suppose this could become optional, a "Lock to Colors" vs "All Colors"? It's useful to use the color picker as a starting place for colors the manufactor doesn't think  the scroller can achieve, but I can see the usefulness of only having the 'good' options available. I don't think I knew that was how the new dual scroller changes were going to function and it freaked me out a little!!
