    Default Exclude a color range from Pangolin Beyond

    Hello,

    I have a client who does not want any green beams at their event... I am using RGB TTL blanking and I would like to keep cyan, white and yellow.

    Does anyone know if it is posible to exclude green, or substitute green in the color palette?

    Thanks!

    So far as I'm aware it can't be done as you want it via the software.

    If you really want to exclude green, the long winded but fool proof method would be to set up a workspace specially for the event and go through all of the cues and change green to another colour. ie. Save your current workspace then save it again under a new name eg Green excluded. The load the green excluded version and change the cues in the category you're going to be using eg Atmospherics.

    With most cues, coloured elements can be changed with only one or two clicks.

    That might sound impossible but if eg you're only using atmospherics, you have maybe 150 or so cues to change and that shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.

    The re-save the workspace and you'll have a workspace with green excluded.

    For your event you use the green excluded workspace then afterwards re-load your normal workspace.

    The only other thing that I could think of might be some kind of custom configuration script but you'd likely have to pay Pangolin to make it for you even assuming they'd have the time and be willing. The big problem is it's not going to be easy to command the program to exclude green but allow it in mixed colours especially as any scripting would have to somehow specify that if green alone was fed voltage then another colour must be fed voltage also to ensure that green alone was never displayed but green was available otherwise without the forced addition of the other colour to produce the mixed colours you did want.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    If you have a QM2K and can load up LD it would be very easy to step thru the palette wizard and make this happen. If you have an FB3 I'm not sure how the palettes work in QS. I'm guessing that when Beyond 2.0 comes out it will have it's own palette wizard.

    TTL ? Geek approach !
    Make a truth-table for each color, write it in a PAL or a fpga!
    Or better yet: build it discrete with XOR's...
