Filter mode allows you to apply colored gels to your current CCT setting.
This mode allows you to match the color temperature of your other lights and then add a gel for
a touch of color to the light.The Viola2uses the setting from CCT mode to calculate the precise
color temperature of the gel as it would appear on the actual light.
Applying a lter to a preset white-balance color temperature is available on the Conductor app
in CCT mode.
Each numbered gel has a descriptive title and the exact color temperature.
