Masking Control
Mask Shape Select and Strobing
The Mask Select parameter lets you
choose a mask to frame or overlay a
composite image. You can choose to
apply a mask to an image when you
don't want an entire image to be seen
or you want to transition from an
image to black or a solid color without
fading intensity.
Mask Shapes
The graphics engine currently
provides 30 mask shapes including
circular, rectangular, and oval masks
that close from inside out or outside
in. Checker Board, Radial Wipes, and
Multi-panel options are also included
with variations.
Default DMX Value = 0 Round “iris”
closes from outside in.
DMX values 0-127 (0-50%) are
reserved for static mask shapes.
Values of 128-255 (51-100%) are
reserved for strobing Mask shapes.
Values not yet implemented default to
128.
Strobing Mask Shapes
A strobing version of each simple
mask shape is defined in the 128-255
(51-100%) DMX value range. When a
strobing mask is selected, the strobe
rate is controlled by the Mask Edge
Fade parameter from the slowest = 0
to the fastest = 255 (100%).
NOTE:A Global Effect Mode parameter
option lets you define a Mask
color, (see
Global Effect Mode
Channels on page 80
, and
