Effect Mode Options Descriptions

Modifier 3: Adjusts to the size of the sphere. A DMX value of 64 (25%) = no adjustment. Adjusting toward 0 compresses the grid toward the vertical center. Values above the midrange stretch the grid toward the edges of the image at a DMX value of 255 (100%).

When the Spherical Mapping option is selected in a Global Effect parameter and a Graphic Effect parameter’s DMX value = 254, the Graphic Effect Modifier parameters make the following Spherical Mapping adjustments:

Modifier 1: Corrects the vertical bend. A value of 0 = no adjustment. Values below the midpoint bend the horizontal lines toward the “equator” to a maximum at 255.

Modifier 2: Adjusts the center of the vertical bend. A DMX value of 128 (50%) = no adjustment. Adjusting toward 0 moves the bend center down to the bottom of the image. Values above the midrange move the bend center up to the top of the image at a DMX value of 255 (100%).

Modifier 3: Adjusts the center of the horizontal bend. A DMX value of 64 (25%) = no adjustment. Adjusting toward 0 bends the vertical grid lines toward the center of the output. Values above the midrange bends the lines away from the vertical center to a maximum at 255 (100%).

TIP:

Modifier channels for Effect Mode 1 are labeled as CMY in the

 

Wholehog 3 system so you can also make use of the color picker, HSI,

 

and other Wholehog 3 functions. Use the CMY parameter controls to

 

adjust the three Effect Mode 1 Modifier parameters for both the Global

 

and Graphic fixture types.

 

The default for Effect Mode 1 is set to CMY1 as well. Effect Mode 2

 

Modifier channels are labeled Mod 1, Mod 2, and Mod 3.
