CHAPTER 8
Global Control: Transitions
Transition Parameter
Transition Default DMX Value: 0 = Image A layer is fully visible
After you select a pattern option in the Transition Mode parameter, the Transition parameter defines the transition between Image A and Image B.
For DMX values = 0 to 126 (49), Image A is “in front” of Image B and fully visible. At a DMX value = 128 (50%), Image A and Image B are both fully visible. DMX values above 50% place Image B in front.
Transitions and Color Transparency
Knowing the type of transition mode you have selected will help you interpret the color transparency effect. The following examples show the relationship between the transparency function and the transition type.
Transparency with Opacity Transitions
Opacity Transitions place the two image layers on the same plane. Transparent colors on either Image Layer will only reveal the background color (if applied).

Transparency with Reveal Transitions
Reveal Transitions simulate the placement one layer in front of the other. Colors in an image defined as transparent on the front image layer will reveal the other image layer. When the transition channel is a DMX 0 Image Layer A is in front of layer B. At DMX 255 Image Layer B is in front of layer A.
