Collage Setup Example

The new Axon HD offers multiple types of blending, and this example focuses on building a
standard 2x2 collage using four Axon HD media servers and a lighting console based on Hog 4
software.
Setup the Collage effect:
1. Select the same content on four media servers.
NOTE: Any parameter adjustment to a graphic object must be set on ALL
graphic objects that are a part of the Collage. For example, if you are
configuring Graphic Object 1 on four media servers to project as a
Collage and want to apply a color effect, that effect must be
manipulated on Graphic Object 1 of all four media servers.
2. Set the Collage Type parameter on the Global Layer to Standard Collage (DMX = 1).
3. In the Alignment Control parameter on the Global Layer, show the collage selection grid
by selecting the Grid Cell Selection option (DMX=6).
4. In the Collage Config Selection parameter, select 2x2 (DMX=3) on all four Axon HD
servers.
5. Select and assign each individual Axon HD media server its unique section of the collage
using the Collage Cell Selection parameter on the Global Layer.
6. Show the alignment grid by selecting the Pattern Normal Blend (DMX=3) option in the
Alignment Control parameter on the Global Layer.
7. Use the Edge Blend Horizontal and Edge Blend Vertical parameters on the Global Layer
to adjust the edge blend on each server.
