8Storing and Using Palettes 145
Recalling Palettes
Palettes may be recalled from the control keypad or from direct selects. When palettes are recalled,
all data is manual and will display in red. Recalled palettes are applied only to selected channels,
therefore you must select channels before recalling a palette. If a selected channel or parameter
has no stored value in the recalled palette, it remains in its current state. Palettes on direct selects
will gray out if they are not applicable for the current channel selection.
You can select all the channels included in a palette by pressing [Group] [Palette] [x] [Enter]. You
can also recall an entire palette by pressing [Recall From] [Palette] [x] [Enter].
Recalled palettes will appear as manual data for the specified channels. That data will appear as
abbreviations of the palette type (IP3 = Intensity Palette 3, FP8 = Focus Palette 8, and so on), or as
the palette label if defined/enabled in the displays settings (see Setup, page 95). To see the
numeric values behind any palette (or other referenced value), press and hold the [Data] key. To
see the palette number behind the label, press [Shift] + [Label].
When palettes are recalled, channels with stored data in the palette will follow that data according
to manual time settings. Palettes may also be recalled using a time specified using [Sneak] [Time].
You may also use groups to recall palettes. For example:
• [Group] [1] [1] [Beam Palette] [5] [Enter]
• [Group] [5] {Color Palette 6}
Palettes may also be recalled from the direct selects which automatically terminates the command
line. To recall only specific parameters of a palette, select channels and the required parameters (or
those not required, using the [-] key) in the command line.
The following are methods that can be used to recall palettes.
•[selected channels] {direct select} - recalls the associated (IFCB) palette data for the selected
channels.
•[selected channels] [Palette] [n] [Enter] - recalls the associated IFCB palette for selected
channels.
•[Channel List] {edge} [Beam Palette] [n] [Enter] - recalls only the edge data from the
specified beam palette for the selected channels.
•[Group] [n] [Palette] [z] [Enter] - recalls all of the data in the palette and applies it to the
selected group.
•[Intensity Palette] [y] [At] [/] [z] [Enter] - recalls the intensity palette for selected channels
and sets all recalled intensity values to a proportioned level of their recorded states.
When recalling palettes, only channels that are selected at the point of recall will be affected by the
palette recall. The data recalled from a palette is referenced. To break the reference you may use
{Make Absolute}.
Note:
The above example breaks the referenced link to the intensity palette. To maintain
the link, the palette must be recalled without a modified intensity value. Calling
back the intensity palette at full will also break this link.
