1.2 Content Management Application Features
• Available for Windows and Mac operating systems
• Communicates with other DML-1200w/Axon, DL.3, DL.3F, DL.2, Axon media servers over an Ethernet network
• Uploads and downloads custom digital content to fixtures on a DMX link
• Configures DL.3, DL.3F, DL.2 and Axon media servers
• Updates software including content, applications, and operating system to DML-1200 w/Axon, DL.3, DL.3F, DL.2 and Axon media
servers.
• Three “gas gauges” in the server’s Hardware Tab let you view available CPU, GPU and HDD resources remaining. This gives you
the information you need to manage additional layers within the capabilities of the hardware available in their system.
• Log File Download available in All Servers view in the CMA to provide troubleshooting information to customer service if a
problem occurs. Logs are saved with a .dlf (digital log file) extension.
1.3 Protocol Options
You can use one of two Protocol Versions to control the media server parameters of the DML-1200 wAxon. Both versions provide
individual and composite control for multiple graphic objects.
Version 1
maintains the original channel range of DL.3, DL.2, and Axon media servers and offers compatibility with legacy shows.
Version 2
adds an additional 27 channels of control with:
• Five banks of Global Effects instead of three in Version 1
• Eight channels of Global Framing Shutters
• Expanded Collage adjustments
• 16-bit control of X, Y and Z scaling
• Global spherical mapping control
• An additional bank of Graphic Effects
You select the protocol level through the CMA (see
Viewing Server Configuration
on page 113). When choosing the appropriate
protocol version for your application, remember the following:
• Both Protocol versions include multiple effects and can control up to nine Graphic Objects layers on DML-1200 w/ Axon media
servers.
• You can adjust the “footprint” of the media server parameters on a DMX link with the protocol you choose and by implementing
only the number of 3-D objects you need.
