The important point to grasp is that all the Focus Mask does is to enable
access to different parts of the Preset Focuses. The Pan and Tilt information
in Preset Focus 1 is the same, whether you are looking at it from the LAMPS
bank or the Pan and Tilt Bank, and it can be altered from any Attribute Bank
whose Focus Mask allows access to it. The difference is, that in LAMPS you
can see all the Attributes stored, not just one of them.

It is the difference between standing in a room, and being able to see all of
it, or having a restricted view of the same room through different windows.
The room is the same, as are the objects in it, and the changes you make to
them have the same effect no matter where you are standing when you
make the change. The difference is only in how much of the room you can

The Pearl makes use of this fact. If you look at the default Colour Wheel,
Yellow / Effect and Magenta / Cyan Focus Masks, they each enable all
three of these colour Attributes. The reason for this is that many Intelligent
Fixtures have Colour Mix systems, and a colour on stage may be a
combination of a certain position on a colour wheel, plus different amounts
of colour from the Magenta, Cyan and Yellow filters. When you save this as
a colour Preset Focus, you don’t want just the colour wheel position, or the
Cyan setting, but the whole colour you are looking at. Hence, all three
Attributes are enabled so that the entire colour is stored or recalled from any
of these Attribute Banks.

8.4 Organising your Preset Focuses
Pearl 2000 can store 120 Preset Focuses. Each of these has a number
identifying it from 1 to 120, and each Preset Focus can store information for
any or all of the Attributes of a Fixture.
identifying it from 1 to 120, and each Preset Focus can store information for
any or all of the Attributes of a Fixture.
The first 30 Preset Focuses can be stored and recalled using the 30 grey
Preset ADD buttons. These are the most accessible, and are a good place to
store the Preset Focuses you are going to use the most.

⇒
Unless you need a lot of Preset Focuses, we recommended that you try
to store different types of Preset Focuses onto different ADD buttons.
This has the advantage that you can then work in the LAMPS Attribute Bank,
and recall a colour or a gobo, without having to change Attribute Banks and
without recalling unwanted Attributes. This is because in the LAMPS
Attribute Bank, the Focus Mask is normally set for all Attributes, so all the
information stored in a Preset Focus will be recalled. See section 8.3.4 Using
the Focus Mask.
