Conditional Abstract Attributes
The images above only tell half the story on how to control all parameters of the
VL3500 (or any other Channel for example). Palette uses TheAbstract Control
Model and one of the benefits of that is Conditional Abstract Attributes (describe
fully in the topic called Abstract Control Model). Conditional attributes split complex
control that is typically shared on DMX channel down to individual real-world
concepts. For example, if you are rotating a gobo continuously at 5 RPM, you don't
need to see the control that gives you indexing from 0 to 360 degrees. Instead, you
have the option to change the RPMs or the direction (Clockwise vs.
Counterclockwise). Typically, the units of a tweeker are determined by the mode of
the bubble directly to its left. For example, if the gobo mode is to rotate, then the
units are RPM. If the mode is index, then the units are Degrees.
Attribute Filtering on Record
When you record cues and looks, you have many options including the ability to
filter out different attribute families. In the record dialog box, you will find the [S9]
button marked Attributes. When you select this button, you will be presented with
the Attribute Families' dialog box:
