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. You can define up to three of these objects and then apply global effects to the composite image.
Using the Content Management Application (CMA) on your computer allows you to upload, move and clone content files, configure
fixtures, and upgrade software to Digital Lighting fixtures via an ArtNet link. You can monitor performance metrics and downlog
log files when required for support. Using the CMA, you can also perform the same functions remotely on multiple media servers
over an Ethernet network.

Graphics Engine
• Simultaneous playback of three discrete media streams on separate 2D/3D objects
• Image Optimizing Controls let you adjust both Black Level and Contrast for each cue and for each image
• 45 Object parameters give you graphic controls for each individual media stream including:
• A choice of multiple play modes and play speeds
• The ability to define any segment of a video loop including Scrub capability
• Three Graphic Effect Mode channels provide multiple color mixing and visual effects
• Variable Opacity to allow for crossfading or dissolves between media streams
• Full control of image Rotation, Positioning and Scaling on X, Y and Z axes
• Visual Modes that let you control black level and contrast to optimize content
• 55 Global parameters provide graphic controls to the composite image created by up to nine media streams
• Collage Generator™ technology configures multiple media server outputs to display a single image in arrays up to
16 horizontal x 8 vertical.
• Curved Surface Support corrects for shape distortions that occur when you project onto surfaces that aren't flat.
• Intensity overlays the opacity control to provide system-wide intensity level
• Overall image Color Mixing applied to composite media stream image
• Five Global Effect Mode channels provide multiple effects that can be applied to the composite image
