Collage Generator
Collage Generator effects let you use multiple DL.3 or DL.2 units to create virtually seamless
panoramic media projections with DMX control. You can display either stock (automated collage)
or custom content (segmented collage) and effects are available for full 360° projection. For
more information about this global effect, see Chapter 12: Global Functions: Collage
Generator™ Effect on page 135.
Modifier 1: Selects which type of Collage array to use from DMX Values 1-63. A DMX value of
0 = No Collage. DMX Values of 64-255 are reserved and default to No Collage.
Modifier 2: Selects which portion of the grid a particular DL.3 or DL.2 fixture will display. DMX
values 0-63 step through grid pattern selected by the Modifier 1 parameter. DMX values 64-255
default to the upper left corner of the grid.
Modifier 3: Adjusts edge blending between the selected portion of the image being projected
by the fixture and adjacent portions being projected by other fixtures.
