Dampening
Dampening smooths DMX crossfades of X and Y image position changes as well as indexed
rotation changes. When a long DMX crossfade occurs on these parameters, use the Dampening
channel to smooth the resolution of the image position change.
Default DMX Value: 0 = Disable Dampening
You can increase the Dampening effect from a minimum at a DMX value of 1 to the maximum
effect at a DMX value of 255 (100%).
Global Transition
The Transition Mode and Transition parameters create real time crossfades, wipes, and
transitions from one layer to another. For information on these parameters, see Chapter 8:
Global Control: Transitions on page 49.
Global Effects
There are several Effect Function options you can apply to the composite image you create by
defining Image A and Image B. The type of adjustment made by two Modifier parameters
depend on the option you select.
