Wholehog Programming Notes
Play Modes (Intensity)
Using the Image fixture type, press the Mode button to view the play mode options. By default all modes trigger normally. If available per the SHOWPIX or StudioPix DMX protocol, you can select “Media Trigger Intensity” to change to the Play Modes that trigger when Intensity is greater than zero. When using one of these modes, the media will pause when the intensity is at zero and plan when the intensity is greater than zero. To restore to normal triggering, select “Media Trigger Normal”.
CMY
The Standard and Image fixture types both contain CMY controls for the Color Function modifier channels. For some color function options, the CMY parameters will not adjust color, but will adjust the color function per the SHOWPIX or StudioPix protocol.
The Wholehog libraries default to CMY mode for control of SHOWPIX or StudioPix. This allows for use of standard color mixing, global palettes, and the color and gel pickers.
Custom Wheel Sets
You can import a custom preference file to your Wholehog show file to rearrange the wheelset for easier accessibility to the parameters of SHOWPIX or StudioPix. The wheelset can be found on Wholehog consoles in the Preferences folder or downloaded from:
