High End Systems Pixelation Luminaire Transition Mode Parameter, Overlay Transitions, Pattern

CHAPTER 8

Global Control: Transitions

Overlay Transitions

In this type of transition, one Image layer covers or moves the other from a position “outside” in a defined pattern. One Image can move to cover or uncover the other. Push options simulate one image moving the other image “off the display”.

Note: With Push options, pixels will be off when neither Image is represented in that area of the display.

In this type of transition, both Image Layers maintain their full intensity level.

In the following example Image A is defined as solid red and Image B as solid yellow with an overlay transition option Cover from Top selected.

The effect simulates Image B moving over to cover Image A from above.

Transition Mode DMX = 46	Transition Mode DMX = 46	Transition Mode DMX = 46
Transition = 0	Transition = 127 (50%)	Transition = 255 (100%)

Transition Mode Parameter

Transition Mode Default DMX Value: 0 = Normal Fade

The following table outlines the different transition patterns and their transition type

DMX	Transition	Description	Transition
Value	Pattern		Type
0	Normal Fade	Image intensities are varied to simulate a smooth	Opacity
		crossfade from one to the other.
1	Circle In	A circular pattern opens Out from the center or In from	Reveal
		the edge in the first Image layer to reveal the second
2	Circle Out
		Image layer.
3	Spiral In	A spiral pattern opens Out from the center or In from	Reveal
		the edge in the first Image layer to reveal the second
4	Spiral Out
		Image layer.
5	Plus In	A plus sign pattern opens Out from the center or In	Reveal
		from the edge in the first Image layer to reveal the
6	Plus Out
		second Image layer.
