Image Optimizing Controls

Images can now be optimized for each cue. It is no longer necessary to pre-optimize images
with a separate software system on a separate computer when preparing for a show. Using
Visual modes, you can adjust both Black Level and Contrast for each cue and for each image
(see Visual Mode Options on page 86).

Graphics Control Hierarchy

There is a hierarchy to the DMX control parameters. In general, object control parameters
render individual graphic images. Global control parameters act upon the composite image
created by combining multiple objects. Motion parameters control the fixture movement and
projection as well as live video feed from the internal camera.
It is especially important to keep this in mind when applying graphical effects. At the lowest
level, Graphic effects are applied to an individual 3-D Graphic Object. Any Global effects applied
affect each object in the combined Object image. Finally, motion effects control the projection of
the composite image.
