CHAPTER 12
Global Functions: Collage Generator™ Effect
Collage Generator Options
Automated and Segmented Collage Generator options are available in each of the Global Effect
parameters. The Collage Generator effect has been continually developed to offer sharper
images, and better edge blending. The following table shows the evolution of the effect.
Choosing the highest DMX value for the collage option you are using will give you the latest
version of the effect.

The original Collage Generator option (selected with a Global Effect DMX value = 134), should
only be used with legacy shows. The Enhanced Collage Generator option (Global Effect DMX
value = 141) provides cleaner images and better edge blending. The Collage Gen 3 option
(DMX value = 150) offers the same image improvements as Enhanced Collage Generator and
further expands and refines edge blending capability. The images below illustrate the difference
in the projected image of a cell from an 8 x 5 grid. The image below on the left shows the
projector using the original Collage Generator option and the image on the right shows the
improved resolution obtained with the Enhanced Collage Generator option.
The Collage Generator Wrap (DMX value = 145) and Collage Gen 3 Wrap (DMX
value = 151) options include right and left edge blending that lets you seamlessly project your
collage on a 360 degree surface.
NOTE: In all of the Collage Generator options the content is automatically divided
into cell segments by the graphics engine after you define the array size.
