You would typically use “All” if your palette legends are the same for all
fixtures and you don’t want to type individual palette legends in for all
your fixtures; this allows you to set the legend only once.

The palette
contents will be
displayed on the
VDU screen. You
can change the
attributes
displayed by
pressing the
Attribute
buttons.
For an Individual
palette (a
position palette is
shown in the
picture) there will
be a value for
each fixture. For a Shared palette there will be one value for each type
of fixture.
4.4 Timing
4.4.1 Recalling a palette with a fade time
You can recall a palette with a fade time by typing a time (in seconds)
after you press Focus, before you recall the palette.
Recalling Palettes with a fade time is very effective when you are
running a show. However, if you use a fade time the palette does not
get put in the programmer, so you should not use fades when you are
programming.
A maximum of five timed palettes can be fading at any one time.
