About Filters

Filters are used to determine which parameters can be stored to cues, palettes, and presets. The filter
selection tool in the CIA affects record operations as long as the filters are set.
Note:
of filters affect playback and not record functions.

Record Filters

Record filters are used to select specific parameter data to store to record targets. When no filters

Record filters are applied from the CIA using the following buttons: {Filter}, the parameter buttons in
the CIA, and the parameter category buttons.
The parameter category buttons can be used to select filters, as follows:
Intensity (enables recording intensity data)
Focus (enables recording pan and tilt)
Color (enables recording color data)
Beam (enables recording all beam data)
To apply record filters by category:
1. Press and hold {Filter}. The parameter buttons change to display filter selection.
2. Press the parameter category softkey {Intensity/Focus/Color/Beam} for the category you want
to include in the record target. All parameters in that category will be highlighted and "Filter
On" will appear above the softkey.
3. Release {Filter}. The buttons return to their normal appearance.
In subsequent record functions, only the filtered categories will be recorded. You may apply multiple
category filters at once. Remember that applying all filters and no filters yields the same effect.

Partial Filters

If you do not want an entire category to be recorded, you may apply parameter specific filters (partial
filters) instead.
