Rack Palette - Operators Manual - Strand Lighting

Programming and Viewing Channels
Recording with this option is identical to using the Block command in the cue list. If
you record with this option on every time, you have just turned Palette into a Preset
desk.
Please note, if you are using multiple cue lists, recording with the All options is
rarely desirable. You will 'steal' away every light from EVERY other cue list when
you go into this cue!
Captured Attributes
Captured lights are essentially under the programmer's control. They cannot be
controlled by Cues or Looks until they are released. Captured Channel may be
marked as Changed and be ready for recording or they may just be Captured (and
not changed). A good example of how a light can be Captured and not Changed is
when you don't do a Release after doing a Record. (This is a Cue List Option)
One example of when you may want to record using the Captured option is when
you have just completed a record command, but also want to record the same stuff
to a different place.
Record Option for Recording Looks
The options for recording Looks are as follows:
Changed Attributes (deltas)
This is the default record option when recording looks. This is probably the option
that will keep you out of trouble because you won't be dragging in a bunch of stuff
you don't want.
As you are building looks by Selecting and Setting Channels, you will notice that
values get tagged with a delta symbol (or triangle):
or
Values or attributes tagged with the delta symbol are ear-marked for recording with
the Changed option.
Some of the other options described below have their place, but if you make
changes, you probably want to record them. The other record options (such as All
Levels) all carry baggage that you must understand if you are going to use them.
After you Record channels and attributes that were marked Changed, the delta
symbol disappears. Those channels are now considered Captured. You may want
to Release them, or record them elsewhere using the Captured option.
