Paging The Fixture Display; Tagging And Untagging; Palettes - Philips 250ML Operation Manual

Operation Guide
When recorded, this value will be stored in the fader or the cue.
The fixture area display shall show all fixtures that are patched. Figure 67 shows 3 fixtures, each with 7 attributes.
Should there be more than 7 attributes, the attribute blocks will wrap around to the second line.
• Fixtures that are selected with have the fixture block in red.
• Fixtures that were adjusted but are no longer selected have the fixture block text in red.
Attributes that have been adjusted will appear in a red box. Adjusting Pan will also select Tilt. Some attribute families
will work collectively (selecting all parameters for the selected attribute family, some will work independently. This
will depend upon the family and the fixture.)
Stored parameter values that have been changed in the current cue will appear in blue. Values that have changed in a
different cue will appear in magenta. Values that have not been changed shall remain in white.

Paging the Fixture Display

When the FIXTURE key is selected, the plus "+" key will "page" the fixture display. This will page patched fixtures
in numerical order from fixtures 1 thru 30, based upon the number of fixtures and attributes that fully populates the
set fixture area. There is space for 4 fixtures if all attributes fit on the same horizontal line.

Tagging and Untagging

With Fixtures that are patched, adjusting any parameter will "tag" that parameter. A tagged parameter will appear on
the color screen in a white background. On the monitor, the parameter will appear in a red background.
If in Setup, the Record Mode is at the default setting of "Full", recording an attributed fixture shall record all changes
based upon the tagging even if the values are at zero.
• Tagging of a fixture occurs when the parameter has been changed. (On Monitor: Red background, white text)
• Untagging of a fixture occurs to change the fixture to no longer be selected.
Several things can be untagged:
• All Fixtures can be untagged by [UNTAG] + [FIXTURE]
• Individual Fixtures can be untagged by [UNTAG] + [S1/S10]
• Attribute Families can be untagged by [UNTAG] + [POSITION / COLOR / BEAM]
• Individual Attributes can be untagged by [UNTAG] + [Encoder A / B / C / D] when the Encoders are populated
with the desired attributes.
If the Record Mode is not default and is set to "Channel", then only the tagged values shall be recorded and values at
zero will be ignored.
This allows you to decide if a attributes recorded onto submasters should be absolute. (record mode should be set to
"Full") or if the recorded colors should be able to mix with each other (not absolute), (record mode for color should
be set to "Channel".)

19. Palettes

Palettes store specific attributes data for recall and storing into faders and cues. There are many reasons to use a
palette over storing raw numerical data.
• You can name a palette. Seeing a moving light in Pan/Tilt "P:02" or "Chair" instead of Pan 038 and Tilt 185 can be
more user friendly.
• Palettes can be reused multiple times. The previously mentioned "P:02" position palette can then be accessed for
storage in different faders and cues.
