Media File

The Media File parameter lets you identify which Stock or User media file to apply (map) as a texture on the selected 3-D object. You can supplement the large library of Stock video loops and still images with Custom files. This parameter selects media files from within the folder defined by the Media Folder parameter.

For a reference of media files available as stock content with your media server, go to the link for the Stock Content Guide for DL.3, DL.2 and Axon products on http://www.highend.com/ support/digital_lighting/. You can also view thumbnail images of media files in the CMA, (see Viewing Files on page 171).

Default DMX Value: 0 = No file selected

Tip: You can preview a visual display of the media files loaded on a media server in the Content Management Application’s thumbnails view, (see Viewing Content on page 170) or in the File Tab of a DL.2 fixture menu display.
