On PAR style device there is a field on top of the icon showing the color set by RGB values.
I create a fixture composed by 4 PAR (16CH) and I would like to add the same kind of field above each PAR of the fixture.
Is there anybody able to explain how to do this?
Thanks for your support

Re: Color display field above PAR type devices
One approach is to create a 4 channel fixture and, in Freestyler, add 4 fixtures (instead of just 1). Another advantage of this approach is that you can use the color pallet in the Colors window for each fixture instead of only the first.
If you tell Freestyler to add all 4 fixtures at the same time (in the Add/Remove fixtures window) then the starting address will be correct for the last 3. If you add them individually be sure to set the starting address of the second 4 higher than the first, the third 4 higher than the second, and the forth 4 higher than the third.

Re: Color display field above PAR type devices
I thank you for your answer, that's what I did originally. I have one device (base) with 4 channels (intensity, strobe, macro, speed) and 4 separate PAR type device with 3 channels each (RGB values). I was just expecting to add the 4 PAR's in the base file in order to get just one device.
I also create one device (16CH) and use RGB segment feature. It works well (easy to adjust color), the only downside is that I can't visualize the RGB settings on top of the image...

Re: Color display field above PAR type devices
Either way is a valid choice, use whichever works best for you. I personally like seeing in Freestyler the color of each PAR. Needing to add 5 fixtures is somewhat a drawback but, to my knowledge, this is the only way (currently) to get the color field for each PAR.
