Rack Palette - Operators Manual - Strand Lighting

Macros and Show Control
Setting a variable to any value between those two numbers sets the look’s virtual
handle to that level and vice versa
• Individual variables can have Cues or Looks specified in the order field (i.e.,
"Main.1,B2.5')
Variables can have macros attached to them:
There are eight different state-change events that can fire macros
o Button Up
o Button Down
o On Value (when a variable reaches a certain value (i.e., ‘0’ or ‘100’ or ‘25’)
o Off Value (when a variable changes from a certain value (i.e., when a look handle
leaves 0)
o Up Through (when the look is fading up and passes by the specified value)
o Down Through (when the look is fading down and passes by the specified value)
o Pass Through (when the look crosses a certain value in either direction)
o Value Change (is trigged any time the value changes)
You can attach any number of macro actions to a variable
Macros can contain Lua Scripts that provide for IF THEN ELSE type programming
capabilities.
While Palette is attached to the VISION.NET network, it can send two VISION.NET
commands using macros:
o VISION.NETSetScene (sends a Scene Set command to a specified device
ID; useful for setting house lights to half)
o VISION.NETLockCommand (lock or unlocks a specified button station;
useful to lock out public buttons stations at show time)
The VISION.NET devices must be in proper VISION.NET mode (i.e., not Remote
Keypad mode) to make use of these commands:
