CHAPTER 13 Effect Mode Options Descriptions

Color to Alpha

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 49

This parameter varies the transparency level of an image’s component color values.

Modifier 1: Increases the red component opacity or intensity from 0 = no adjustment to 255 (100%) = full red opacity (intensity).

Modifier 2: Increases the green component opacity or intensity from 0 = no adjustment to 255 (100%) = full green opacity (intensity).

Modifier 3: Increases the blue component opacity or intensity from 0 = no adjustment to 255 (100%) = full blue opacity (intensity).

Color to Alpha, Inverted

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 50

This parameter varies the transparency level of the inverse of an image’s component color values.

Modifier 1: Increases the inverse red component opacity or intensity from 0 = no adjustment to 255 (100%) = full green and blue opacity (intensity).

Modifier 2: Increases the green component opacity or intensity from 0 = no adjustment to 255 (100%) = full red and blue opacity (intensity).

Modifier 3: Increases the blue component opacity or intensity from 0 = no adjustment to 255 (100%) = full red and green opacity (intensity).

DotP and Resample

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 13

This option applies an algorithm that pixelates, and solarizes the image. It also makes the surface of some 3D objects appear reflective.

Modifiers 1, Modifier 2 and Modifier 3 parameters work together to adjust the algorithm.

Edge Fade Color

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 129

 

 

This option applies color to a selected Edge Fade parameter, (see Image Edge Fade on page 97).

Modifier 1: Increases red color component from 0 = no adjustment to 255 (100%) = maximum red saturation.

Modifier 2: Increases blue color component from 0 = no adjustment to 255 (100%) = maximum blue saturation.

Modifier 3: Increases green color component from 0 = no adjustment to 255 (100%) = maximum green saturation.
