High End Systems Pixelation Luminaire Showpix and StudioPix Protocol Modes, Standard Protocol

CHAPTER 4

DMX Programming Basics and Quick Start

SHOWPIX and StudioPix Protocol Modes

You can choose from four protocol modes for variable programming styles. High End Systems is currently distributing the detailed DMX protocols as requested to console and visualizer manufacturers in an attempt to ensure that the fixture libraries are created in a method that allows optimum control of the fixture. The charts below provide only an outline of each channel's function. If your console does not provide a library for SHOWPIX and StudioPix fixtures, please contact the console manufacturer to have one created.

Standard Protocol

Standard protocol provides motion control plus full graphics engine control of images, colors, and effects for the two separate image files and the composite image they form. For details on specific DMX parameters, see Chapters 5–10.
