Color Picker

Use the Color Picker to easily select a color – either visually with a control surface or manually with numeric values – for use by a downstream component that can receive a color hex code, such as the Lightbar component.

Inputs and Outputs

Control components do not have traditional input and output pins. If a Control Pin is available for the component, an input or output will appear.

Control Pins represent the controls available in the component's Control Panel. Control Pins are used to link controls between Schematic Elements, and link to / from Control Scripts. Control Pin signal pins are represented by a square, and the wiring is represented by a thick blue / white line.

Schematic Example

In this example, Color Picker is used to send a very specific color to display on the TSC-70-G3 touch screen controller's light bar.

Note: Refer to the Lightbar (TSC-G3, PS-TSCG3 Series) topic to learn about how to use the Lightbar component for TSC-70-G3 and TSC-101-G3 touch screen controllers.

Properties

Color Picker Properties

Color Picker Size

Select a size for the color picker surface area, from 160 to 512 (default is 256).

Graphic Properties

Label

Use the Label property to change the name of the component in the schematic. The Label property defaults to the component name. To learn more about renaming schematic elements, see Organizing Your Design.

Position

The coordinates reference a specific place in the schematic - for example,"100,100" (horizontal, vertical). 0,0 is the upper left corner of the schematic.

Fill

Sets the fill color of the component in the schematic.

Script Access Properties

Code Name

Displays the currently assign name for control access. You can use the auto-assigned name or customize it. Q-SYS will automatically check all Code Names in the design to ensure name is unique.

Script Access

Defines whether the component will be accessible by script and/or externally, or not at all. Choices include All, External, None (default), and Script.

None (default) - Not accessible by any script, plugin, or by Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC).
Script - Can be accessed by scripts, such as Text Controller, Block Controllers, and plugins only.
External - Can only be accessed by 3rd party controls systems using component commands from the Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC).
All - No restrictions, can be accessed by 3rd party control systems via Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC), or script objects or plugin objects.

Tip: Use Script Programmer Mode to quickly view the Script Access setting directly on the component in the design schematic without the need to disconnect from the Q-SYS Core processor.

Controls

Color

Read-only. Indicates the corresponding hex code of the selected color.

Red, Green, Blue

These controls display the red, green, and blue component values of the selected color. You can also manually enter values for each, from 0 to 255.

Hue

Manually enter a hue value for the selected color, from 0 to 360 (default is 0).

Saturation

This control displays the saturation component value of the selected color. You can also manually enter a value, from 0 to 100.

Value

This control displays the color value of the selected color. You can also manually enter a value, from 0 to 100.
