1.4 Image Optimizing Controls
Images can be optimized for each cue. It is not necessary to pre-optimize images with a separate software system on a separate
computer when preparing for a show. Using Visual modes, you can adjust both Black Level and Contrast for each cue and for each
image (see
Visual Mode Options on page 16).
1.5 Graphics Control Hierarchy
There is a hierarchy to the DMX control parameters. In general, object control parameters render individual graphic images. Global
control parameters act upon the composite image created by combining multiple objects. Motion parameters control the fixture
movement and projection as well as live video feeds.
It is especially important to keep this in mind when applying graphical effects. At the lowest level, Graphic effects are applied to
an individual 3-D Graphic Object. Any Global effects applied affect each object in the combined Object image. Finally, motion
effects control the projection of the composite image.
