CHAPTER 9
Image Graphics Control
Image Transition
In Standard and Extended protocol, you can choose between several Transition Mode options and use the Transition Speed parameter to adjust the option.
Transition Mode
Transition Default DMX Value: 0 = Normal playback with no transition
Transition Mode controls the pixel transition of a movie file from frame to frame on the image layer. By default, frames will snap from one to the next, however different frame transitions can be selected to create unique playback of image files.
Transition Speed
The Transition Speed parameter will adjust the speed of the selected transition mode as the file changes from frame to frame.
Transition Speed Default DMX Value: 128 (50%) = Normal playback speed
The following table describes the Transition Mode options available and the type of adjustment you can make to the option using the Transition Speed parameter.
