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.

  • [QUOTE=Playdoe9;63318]Just curious about the method you mentioned... I see a few problems for my setup. If the gaffer were to ask you "How many globes are on in Spacelight 3?" what steps would you have to perform to check?

    I hit, 3, suck. 2 keystrokes.

    Scott has a great point as well, I can look in my output window and see what all the spacelights are at... where that would be next to impossible to determine if they were just a desk channel.

    I can see the advantage of having a Master Intensity in certain situations beyond just making an Inhibitive Master (Which is what I normally do).

    As for Output window, it is really very fast and easy to differentiate with Desk Channels (beyond simply looking at logical separation of user number ranges) if you add text labels when you patch and enable the "Note" column in the Output window.

    No keystrokes required to see this (unless I need to Open a View with the Output Window of course).
