Effect Mode Options Descriptions

Framing

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 133

This option contains three modes that modify the appearance or the operation of the Global Image Edge Fade parameters to frame the global composite image. Modifier 2 and Modifier 3 adjustments vary depending which of the framing modes is selected with Modifier 1.

NOTE: If the Global Image Edge Fade DMX values are set to Zero, the

Framing output will be unseen in modes 0 and 1.

The images below show examples of the first two framing modes. In the image on the left Modifier 1 selects the internal profile framing option, with Modifier 2 selecting the frame pattern.

In the example on the right, Modifier 1 selects the Graphic Object texture framing option, with Modifier 2 selecting the frame pattern. A Modifier 3 DMX value = 10 designates the Frame texture as Graphic Object 2’s media file content minus any applied effects.

NOTE: Global Image Edge Fade DMX values = 100.

Effect Mode parameter = 133	Effect Mode parameter = 133
Modifier 1 DMX = 0, Modifier 2 DMX = 15	Modifier 1	DMX = 1, Modifier 2 DMX = 251
Modifier 3 Not Used	Modifier 3	DMX = 10

Framing Shutter Emulation

When Modifier 1 is set to a DMX value = 2, Modifier parameters 2 and 3 are not used. Instead, the four Global Image Edge Fade parameters control image to emulate framing shutters. In the example to the right, each Image Edge Fade parameter has been set to a DMX value = 100.

NOTE: When emulating framing shutters, the image being framed does not change. This differs from Keystone Correction that modifies the image shape.
