About Palettes
Palettes are building blocks that can be used to create presets
(About Single Cue List (on
Palettes are referenced data. This means that when included in presets, cues, or effects, changes to
the contents of the palette are propagated into all of the places the palette is stored.
Four types of palettes are available:
Intensity Palettes (below)
Focus Palettes (below)
Color Palettes (on the facing page)
Beam Palettes (on the facing page)
Palettes are a critical component when using moving lights and can save considerable programming
time when editing show data.
When recording palettes, three softkey options are available:
{By Type} (on the facing page)
{Absolute} (on the facing page)
{Locked} (on the facing page)
Ion supports up to 1,000 palettes of each of the four types, which can be recorded as decimal (up to
three places, 0.001) or whole number (up to 9,999.999). Palettes are automatically filtered into IFCB
categories. Color data cannot be placed in beam palettes, intensity cannot be included in focus
palettes, and so forth. This makes the process of creating palettes easier, faster and less work. If you
need to create a reference that will include a mix of IFCB information, presets can be used. See
About Presets (on
Palettes can be mapped to faders. Please see
more information.
