Global Functions

Global Graphic controls affect the composite image created by defining two or three separate object graphics. You can adjust intensity, define masks, select a point in space to view the composite image, and control keystone correction.

Global Intensity

The Global Intensity parameter creates a smooth fade to video black that doesn’t affect the opacity relationship between individual objects. Use this parameter to adjust the intensity of a composite image over the separate Graphic Object’s Opacity parameter settings. Increase intensity from not visible at a DMX value of 0 to full intensity at a value of 255 (100%).

Default DMX Value: 0 = no intensity (video black)

Tip: The Dimmer, Object Opacity and Global Intensity parameters all need DMX values greater than 0 for a defined image to be visible.

Graphic Object 1 Intensity DMX=255 (100%) Graphic Object 2 Intensity DMX=255 (100%)

Graphic Object 1 Intensity DMX =255

(100%)

Global Intensity DMX = 128 (50%)

Graphic Object 2 Intensity DMX =179

(70%)
