Encoders
When both CMY and RGB mixing systems are present in the lighting system, they take priority in
the encoder mapping, followed by fixed wheels, then scrollers. A CMY color mixing fixture may not
be placed in RGB mode, nor can an RGB fixture be placed in CMY mode.
When the device is a fixed color wheel or a color scroller, you can use the encoder to select
the desired frame. Pressing the {E} expands the display to include a button for each frame
indicated with both a location number (example: “#5”) and a label (example: “Rosco R80”).
The specific colors within the scroller or wheel are specified in patch. See “Creating a new
scroll or wheel” on page 78.
