CHAPTER 12

Global Functions: Collage Generator™ Effect

Configuring the Collage Generator

There are two Collage Generator options in either Global Effect Mode parameter. The original Collage Generator option (selected with a Global Effect DMX value = 134), should only be used with legacy shows. The Enhanced Collage Generator provides cleaner images and better edge blending.

The Enhanced Collage Generator option eliminates heavy aliasing of objects and fuzzy images on larger grids. You can select the Enhanced Collage Generator option in the Global Effect Mode with a DMX value = 141.

The images below illustrate the difference in the projected image of a cell from an 8 x 5 grid. The image on the left shows the projector using the original Collage Generator option and the image on the right shows the improved resolution obtained with the Enhanced Collage Generator option.

Adjusting the Collage Array

The three Global Effects Mode Modifier parameters operate as follows:

The Modifier 1 parameter selects which type of collage array to use from DMX Values 1-63. The selected size displays in the upper right corner of the grid pattern. A DMX value of 0 = No collage. DMX Values of 64-255 are reserved and default to No collage.
