Applying of defined values for related subchannels
Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2017 11:22 pm
Hi Claude ,
We touched on it before, but the following steps lead to unexpected behaviour:
1. grab a HSI fixture and a Cyan-Red-Green-Blue-Red/Orange-Amber-Indigo fixture.
2. set a colour in the picker or via Gel number (for the test - R92, resulting in Hue 45, Hue Fine 0, Saturation 94, and Cyan FL, Blue 15, and the remaining colour subchannels 0)
3. record a defined value/favourite with the star button, i.e. 'test'
4. change the values arbitrarily, i.e.: Hue to 30, Hue fine to 2, Saturation to 90, Cyan to 80, Red 10, Green 8, Blue 20, Red/Orange 3, Amber 4, Indigo 5.
5. select the fixtures again, and apply the values by adding @'test' in the command line.
Outcome: The only value that is recalled is Hue, all the remaining stay unchanged.
Expected outcome: All Related subchannels per colour mixing system per fixture get set by this command - resetting 0 values like Hue Fine, and all colours in the other fixture that were set to 0, as this seems logical when recalling a colour defined value - not recalling all related subchannels would not result in the same colour to be recalled.
The same would go for other related subchannels - i.e. "position" defined values should apply both pan and tilt, even if one is zero, and "beam" defined values should apply Iris and Beam even is one is zero.
I hope that makes sense and is possible.
