Artist Help:Accessing RGB

Sometimes you might want to connect a fader to each of the axis of a colour mix device. Ordinarily, you would access all three axis in a cue thus setting the complete colour parameter in one hit.

This article shows how to create three cues each controlling red, green and blue of a group of colour-mixing devices.

Accessing a colour mix parameter from a cue means that all axis are set, therefore creating three cues - one for each colour - will not work correctly because each cue will try to set all axis. You can work around this by virtue of the Chases which do access individual axis however you must prevent the chase from stepping.

Creating a single axis Cue

• Select the fixture group, then the Chase tab in the Fixture Control window
• Activate the Red axis chase
• Select the Unison pattern
• Select an unused event flag in Triggers
• Click New Cue in the Program Control window
• Repeat this for the green and blue axis.

You now have three cues - red (cyan), green (magenta) and blue (yellow) - the levels of which can be independently adjusted to achieve colour mixing with three faders.
