AutoPalletes For Multi Intensity Fixtures

Hi,

I am not sure if this was ever an official request.

I have a request fore All fixtures that are Multi-Intensity Parameter Fixtures that have Sub-Intensities, to have the Auto-Palette function Create a Per Type Direct 0% Palette and a Global Direct 100% Palette 100% for each globe.

This is mainly for the Movie Fixtures. This should apply to All Multi-Intensity Parameter Fixtures under the categories: Movie Lights, Kino Flos, LumaPanels.

For Space Lights, Chicken Coops, Far Cycs, Image 80s + more

For every new job, we have to create Intensity palettes for every globe of a light, on and off. Sometimes it is just 4 globes, sometimes 14.

A Space Light has 6 globes. We have to record a palettes that is 100% and 0% for each one for each sub-intensity. This is time intensive and taxing for the programmer for every new show we start. Sometime 3 times in one week for commercials.

This should be easy enough since the ability to create auto-palettes is already a function. IT would be great to add to the next build of 3.

Would be great for the next Hog3 build as well.

The more people that voice their approval, the more likely it is to happen.

  • I am quite familiar with Space-Lights, etc as I've used them many times myself on film shoots and even some large scale events.

    Yes, it is easier "right out of the box" to use a multi-intensity fixture, but setting up proper Groups can do the same thing, it just takes a few more minutes to program initially, but then it saves you LOADS of programming time later by being able to directly enter levels via keypad, I-wheel, etc as I already mentioned in addition to the text label on each Desk Channel to better ID each globe.

    For example you might build a Group with all the #2 globes only.....then you can simply "Next" through to adjust them as you go if you don't need all of them.

    Also you can build an ordered group that has all the globes but goes through all the #1s first, then the #2s, etc, etc. as you NEXT or BACK through. (Or whatever order you think you might need to access them in).

    A different approach, that takes a little getting used to, but I've found it to be much faster and more powerful once you get the hang of it.
