- | The Channels toolbar contains buttons for the Channel Settings dialog and mixer sliders. Manual control of the Channel values is available using the sliders. //**NOTE, that above the slider there is a panel that visualizes the real channel state. If the slider there has a Physics filter, or if the slider value is mixed with audio, than the final Channel values will be different.**// | + | The Channels toolbar contains buttons for the Channel Settings dialog and mixer sliders.

Sliders do not follow the channel values. First, the slider is one of the components that decides a channel’s value. Second, as soon as audio comes and the channels start to jump left and right, and you cannot catch the slider’s handle. Because of this, BEYOND has separated the slider status indicators from the sliders themselves. | Sliders do not follow the channel values.

When using WebCam or Timeline video pixels, you can set a specific color channel to be the color of a specific pixel in video. One way this can be used is to create different color channels for different locations of lasers in a setup, and recolor each laser using different color channels. This will allow for matrix kinds of effects and what is normally only seen in led pixel instillations or when video can drive brightness of lighting fixtures over a rig, a newer kind of effect that we are excited to be introducing with color channels. | When using WebCam or Timeline video pixels, you can set a specific color channel to be the color of a specific pixel in video.
