Global Control
Global controls affect the composite image created when you define two Image layers.
You can use global parameters to adjust intensity, scale and rotation the composite image. Other parameters apply strobing, dampening and a variety of graphic effects. The ability to control dynamic transitions between layers also provides additional looks and effects, (see Chapter 8: Global Control: Transitions on page 49. For global color mixing and color effects available, see Chapter 6: Color Control on page 35.
Dim
The Dim parameter adjusts the overall LED output from off at a DMX value of 0 to full intensity at a value of 255 (100%).
Default DMX Value: 0 = LEDs off
Tip: The Dim parameter needs a DMX value greater than 0 for a defined image to be visible.
Strobe
The Strobe parameter affects the combined output of both image settings. You can choose from the following strobing options:
Strobe Option
Description
Periodic strobe | Strobes the output at specified intervals from slow to fast. |
|
|
Random strobe | Strobes the output at random intervals from slow to fast. |
|
|
Random/Synchronous Strobe | Strobes the output at random intervals in unison from slow to |
fast. | |
|
|
Note: An option in each image layer’s effect parameter allows the user to strobe a layer individually, (see Effect Function on page 65).
