Visual Mode
Visual Mode options are defined using three parameters. The Visual Mode parameter has
options for enhancing and adjusting the black level and contrast of a 3-D object. Once you
choose a visual mode, two Modifier parameters adjust the selected mode.

Note: In most cases, you won’t see a change in the content until you adjust

the Modifier parameters for that mode.

Default DMX Value: 0 = Safe (no processing applied)
Default DMX values for Modifier 1 and Modifier 2 channels depend on the selected option.
The following table illustrates the interaction between the Visual Mode Parameter and the two
associated Modifier parameters for each option.
