Color Scroller 1
User Definable Fixtures - Color Scroller 1
The color scroller profile is a special case of the generic DMX control that allows a light source with
mounted color scroller to be programmed as one unit. It also includes a palette function that allows
the user to setup a color palette that matches the colors in the scroller. Often color scrollers are
attachments to an individual light source (e.g.. a par can that is controlled through a dimmer pack).
As a consequence of this the DMX address of the light source and the color scroller may not be
contiguous as is normally the case with multi parameter fixtures.
Configuring the color scroller
To configure a color scroller fixture, select Color Scroller 1 in the list of available fixtures in the
fixture configuration dialog. Note: when setting the DMX address of the fixture, specify the DMX
address of the Intensity control channel - not the DMX address of the color scroller. Once the
fixture color scroller icons are placed on the desktop, each fixture must be configured with a DMX
address for the color scroller unit and (optionally) values for the color palette - see defining the color
scroller profile.

Once the color scroller has been setup it can be programmed as any other fixture via the color scroller
control. The control has a intensity control, and another drag bar for controlling the position of the
color scroller. If the fixture has been setup with values for the color palette, colors can also be
selected by clicking on the color palette buttons.
Defining the Color Scroller Profile
After configuring a color scroller 1 fixture, open the Color scroller definition dialog by right-clicking on
the fixture icon on the desktop and select Define Fixture Profile from the popup.
