Partial Filters
If you do not want an entire category to be recorded, you may apply parameter specific filters
(partial filters) instead.
To apply partial filters:
Step 1: Click {Filters} in the top-right corner of the parameter grid in the CIA. The parameter
buttons change to display filter selection.
Step 2: Click the parameter button (for example {Zoom}) for the parameter you want to
include in the record target. That parameter will be highlighted and “Filter On” will
appear above the softkey.
Step 3: Click {Filters}. The buttons return to their normal appearance.
In subsequent record functions, only the filtered parameters will be recorded. You may apply as
many partial filters at once, as you wish. Any unfiltered parameters will not be included in record
actions. In live, unfiltered parameter data is displayed in its proper color, but a grey “n” (indicating
null data) will appear in the upper right corner of the parameter’s field.
Removing Filters
Applying filters is a toggle state. To remove any filter, simply repeat the application process
described above. When pressed again, any applied filter will be removed.
To remove all filters at once:
Step 1: Press and hold [Filters]. The parameter buttons change to display filter selection.
{Clear Filters} appears in the upper left corner of the parameter buttons.
Step 2: Press {Clear Filters}. Any applied filters will be removed and the highlights will turn
off.
Step 3: Release [Filters]. The buttons return to their normal appearance. All parameters are
now available to record functions.
Storing Data with Record Filters
If a record target is stored with filters in place, the filters allow only associated parameter data to be
recorded in the target. Non-filtered data is not included when you record.
The various record targets are affected by filters in the following ways:
• Palettes - Palettes by definition are already filtered. The color and beam filters can be used
to further modify what is stored in the color and beam palettes, however.
• Presets - Active filter settings impact what is stored in presets.
• Cues - Active filter settings impact what is stored in cues, even when using “record only”
commands.
• [Recall From] - Recall from instructions are not affected by the filters.
