In a light ambience, the values of all properties of all lamps are stored.
With a preset, only the values of certain properties of selected lamps are stored.

Light ambiences are the basis for light objects and change all lamp values when they are recalled.

DMX presets only change the values of certain properties (only the dimmer values, color values or the position values) of the lamps for which they were created.  The other lamp values are not changed.
When certain settings (dimmer values, color combinations or moving head positions) are stored in a preset, they are always recallable without changing the other lamp values.

With dimmer presets the values of the dimmers are stored.
If a lamp has no dimmer (main dimmer), it is not stored in the dimmer preset.

Color Presets store the values of the following lamp properties:
RGM/CMY, extra colors, color wheels, color temperature

For Position Presets the values of the following lamp properties are stored:
Pan/Tilt, Iris, Focus, Zoom, Prism, Slider

Presets help to create a lighting ambience faster.

The Lamp Groups window helps to quickly create or recall presets for specific lamps.

Recalling a DMX preset

Recall all properties stored in the DMX preset

In the DMX stage view there are two function rows in the lower area:



The upper function row only changes the selected lamps.
The lower function row changes all lamps.

Color-Presets	Opens a list of color presets. If a preset is clicked, all properties stored in the preset are sent to the lamps.
Position-Presets	Opens a list of position presets If a preset is clicked, all properties stored in the preset are sent to the lamps.
Dimmer-Presets	Opens a list of dimmer presets If a preset is clicked, all properties stored in the preset are sent to the lamps.

Note: In the Preset List only those presets are displayed that contain values for at least one of the selected lamps.
All other Presets are hidden.



Recall only certain properties stored in the DMX preset

In the DMX stage view it has a display (square) above each slider.


A click on the square opens the selection list of discrete values of the controller. If a discrete value is selected from the list, this controller adjusts to the selected value.
If several lamps are selected, the value (controller) is changed for all selected lamps.

If DMX presets have been created and the slider describes a lamp characteristic, these are stored in the DMX presets,
the DMX presets are listed in addition to the actual values of the controller.
Only those presets are displayed that have values stored for the selected lamps. All other Presets are hidden.



A click on a DMX preset changes the value of the control property for all selected lamps as it was stored in the preset.
If a selected lamp is not stored in the DMX preset, it will not be changed.

Unlike the discrete values, a DMX preset does not take into account the differences in value.
