There are dimmer presets, position presets and color presets.
The presets can be seen as a tool to adjust a stage light faster - to create a lighting ambience faster.
In contrast to lighting ambiences, only certain lamp values (dimmer values, color settings or positions) are stored in presets. It can be specified from which lamps the information is stored.
If you have e.g. a nice combination of colors or certain positions of movingheads that should be used more often, this can be stored in a preset.
These combinations can be recalled, either for all stored lamps or only certain lamps or only certain controllers of lamps. All other lamp values are not changed by recalling a preset.

+ For dimmer presets the dimmer values (main dimmer of the lamps) are stored.
+ For color presets, all values are stored that concern color specifications (RGB, ectra colors, color wheel setting, color temperature)
+ for position presets, all values describing the positions of a stage light are stored (pan/tilt, zoom, focus, prism, slider)

In combination with lamp groups and well planned presets, lighting ambiences can now be created very quickly.
