Dynamic Palettes

Palettes offer the ability to color or re-color content in DyLOS to match any color scheme you wish. When a dynamic palette is applied, the colors in the selected NDI video input are applied to the content based on the brightness of each pixel - the content is essentially converted to grayscale and then mapped to color based on the palette's range of colors and opacities.

Please note that if using a Dynamic Palette with NDI input, Dylos does not record NDI video streams. Thus, the NDI stream will need to be online and playing during playback.

Palettes can be created in the Owner and User content libraries.

Creating a Dynamic Palette

Before assigning a Dynamic Palette, you must first set up an NDI input.

 

  1. Navigate to the DyLOS view, button 4 on the default sidebar of the "Compose" work space.
  2. Select a Zone master fixture, and in the Zone Parameters (the bottom half of the view), press Palette, then Dynamic in the upper right-hand portion of the window:
  3. All palettes will be blank if you're starting from scratch. To create one Right-click or hold EDIT and press an empty palette slot, and this popup will appear:
  4. Select Create Input Source...
  5.  Select Video under Processor and NDI input under the type in the selection window Then select the NDI source you wish to sample color from.
  6. Dylos will now dynamically recolor your source content using the color data from the incoming NDI video input. Please note that Dylos does not record NDI content; the NDI stream will need to be online and playing during showtime to use this feature.
