Effect Mode Options Descriptions

Pixelate

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 54

This options divides the image into rectangles using the center pixel color of each “box” as it’s color. You can control the number of boxes, and adjust the vertical and horizontal dimensions.

Modifier 1: Controls the number of divisions. Fewer, larger boxes will also result in reduced color variations.

Modifier 2: Reduces the box size horizontally to centerpoint from 0= no reduction to 255 (100%) = full reduction. At that point, the image will then be composed of series of horizontal bands.

Modifier 3: Reduces the box size vertically to centerpoint from 0= no reduction to 255 (100%) = full reduction. At that point, the image will then be composed of series of vertical bands.

NOTE: This option is also available as a Visual Mode adjusted with 2 Modifier parameters, (see ShakeNBake on page 99).

Pixel Twist

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 34

This option introduces a twisted area to the image and allows to you size it and move it in the image.

Modifier 1: Controls the horizontal position of the twisted area’s centerpoint from 0=left edge to 255 (100%) = right edge of output.

Modifier 2: Controls the vertical position of the twisted area’s centerpoint from 0=top edge to 255 (100%) = bottom edge of output.

Modifier 3: Controls the direction and amount of twist. At the midpoint of the range, there is no change in the image. The twist area and size moves counterclockwise from 128 (50%) = smallest area to 0 = largest twist area moving counterclockwise. The twist area and size moves clockwise from 128 (50%) = smallest area to 255 (100%)= largest twist area moving clockwise.

Raindrop

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effects Mode parameter DMX value = 46

This option simulates raindrops falling on a liquid surface.

Modifier 1: Controls the drop size from 0 = no drop to 255 (100%) = maximum size.

Modifier 2: Sets the random number generator seed number. This lets you create a repeatable random sequence that will synchronize correctly when using the collage generator option, see page 153.

Modifier 3: Adjusts the raindrop creation rate from 0 = no adjustment to 255 (100%) = maximum rate.
