Global Control

The Global Control parameter allows access to different global control modes. How you set the
Global control parameter determines the functionality of the Global Control Modifier
parameter. Setting this parameter to a DMX value of 255 brings up On-screen programming
statistics. In this case, the Global Control Modifier parameter controls the text color.

Shutdown and Reset Options

When the Global Intensity parameter is set to 0, you can Shutdown the server (DMX Value =
120-130) or Reset the internal Graphics Engine for either DL.3, Axon or DL.2 media servers
(DMX Value = 145-149).

On-Screen Statistics

Spherical Control Statistics

When the Global Control parameter is set to a DMX value = 252, Spherical Control Statistics
are displayed and the Global Control Modifier parameter selects text color. page 324.

Performance Statistics

When the Global Control parameter DMX value = 254, performance statistics are projected on
screen. These are a subset of the statistics shown when Global Control = 255.
Statistics displayed are:
• render loops per second
• cpu utilization
• hard disk read
• cue length
• available memory
The Global Control Modifier controls the opacity of the of the statistics display background,
fading from 0 = opaque to 255 = transparent. Discussion of the global control modifier is on
page 325 and should include discussion of background opacity control.

Text Color

When the Global Control parameter is set at a DMX Value of 255, the Global Control Modifier
parameter lets you choose the text color that will best display over your selected image:
