Effect Mode Options Descriptions

Edge Detect Color

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 20

This option displays only the edges of image components with their color values.

Modifier 1: Adjusts horizontal edge search size from 0= no adjustment to 255 (100%) = maximum adjustment.

Modifier 2: Adjusts vertical edge search size from 0= no adjustment to 255 (100%) = maximum adjustment.

Modifier 3: Adjusts comparison edge threshold from 0= no adjustment to 255 (100%) = maximum adjustment

Faux LED

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 55

This options divides the image into a grid of circles to mimic an LED wall. The color of the center pixel in each cell defines the solid color for that circle. You can control “LED” size, background and color peaking.

Modifier 1: Controls the “LED” size. The default DMX value of 0 displays a 100 x 100 grid of “LEDs”. Increasing the DMX value decreases the grid divisions to a minimum of 10 x 10 at a value of 255 (100%).

NOTE: A small number of larger “LEDs” will also result in reduced color variation.

This option is also available as a Visual Mode adjusted with 2 Modifier parameters, (see Faux LED on page 86).

Modifier 2: Adjusts the grid spacing and color around each “LED”. A DMX value of 0 = the min- imum black line between cells. The spacing increases to a maximum at a DMX value of 127 (49%). At a value of 128 (50%), the space between cells reverts to the minimum spacing and turns white. Increasing the value further increases the white spacing to a maximum at a DMX value of 255 (100%).

Modifier 3: Adjusts the color peaking to simulate lighting at the “LED” center. A DMX value of 0

=no adjustment and flat color across the cell. As you increase the DMX value, the peaking increases to a maximum at 255 (100%).
