Version 1.6.5.0
7 Output Layer
The output layer is used to control the overall appearance of the output from MagicHD. The output
layer acts on the sum total of the media and text layers: they are effectively combined into one
resulting image, which the output layer then manipulates.
Note that any setting that puts all or part of the output beyond the limits of the window, screen or
projector output will result in those parts of the output being clipped.
For details of the Output Layer personality, refer to section 9.2. For details of the DMX parameters,
refer to section 9.5.
7.1 Intensity
Intensity controls the overall brightness of the MagicHD output.
7.2 Position
Position controls where the MagicHD output appears within the window, screen or projected area.
7.3 Scale
Scale magnifies or reduces the size of the output.
7.4 Rotation
This parameter allows the output to be rotated within the extent of the window, screen or projected
area.
7.5 Mirror/Flip
This parameter allows the output to be reflected, horizontally, vertically or both.
7.6 R/G/B
The R, G and B parameters allow the colour balance of the output to be altered directly.
Note that this alters all layers at the same time. For control of individual layers, use the colour
parameters for that layer.
7.7 Colour Effect
Colour effect, along with the associated R, G and B effect parameters, allows you to alter the
overall colour of the MagicHD output in a number of ways.
These parameters work in exactly the same way as for the Media Layers, so refer to section 5.8
(Media Layers, Colour Effect) for full details, and section 9.5.5 for details of the DMX parameters.
Note that this alters all layers at the same time. For control of individual layers, use the colour effect
parameter for that layer.
