Graphics Control Hierarchy
There is a hierarchy to the DMX control parameters. In general, object control parameters
render individual graphic images. Global control parameters act upon the composite image
created by combining multiple objects. Motion parameters control the fixture movement and
projection as well as live video feed from the internal camera.
It is especially important to keep this in mind when applying graphical effects. At the lowest
level, Graphic effects are applied to an individual 3-D Graphic Object. Any Global effects applied
affect each object in the combined Object image. Finally, motion effects control the projection of
the composite image.
