DML-1200 w/AXON EMBEDDED GRAPHICS ENGINE 1. AXON OVERVIEW The Axon built-in 32-bit Graphics Engine software utilizes Windows XP Embedded and DirectX application programming interface to provide extensive image control of up to three 3-D graphic objects. Axon uses the DMX512 protocol to control digital media allowing you to position, scale, rotate, apply visual effects and color mix graphic objects.
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.
Global Effect 4 Global Functions are then applied to the Global Effect 5 composite-object image.

As you move from 0 to 100% of the In Frame value range, you can select the beginning of a media file segment as a percentage of the file length. Moving from 0 to 100% of the Out Frame value range selects the end of a media file segment as a percentage of the file length.

A DMX value of 0 or 128 (50%) plays back media files at the original recorded speed. DMX values from 1 to 127 plays the media file back at an increasing speed, from slowest to the original recorded speed.
