Graphic Functions: Defining Content
Each Graphic Object’s content is composed of a 3-D object overlaid with a media
file. This chapter outlines how to select an image’s object and media file
components as well as define the video segment and its playback.
Selecting Content
How Content is Organized
The media server on each fixture has a file system that holds the
movies, images, and 3-D objects that make up the content that the
server uses. These files, folders, and their associated DMX values
are collectively known as the “Content” on the fixture.
The Content Management Application (CMA) organizes and
identifies content by source (preloaded Stock content or custom
User content) and type (Media files or 3-D Object files).
For more
information on using the CMA to view and manage content, see
Content Management Application (CMA) on page 127.
Selecting Content
Three Parameters control Content selection. To define an image you have to set DMX values
greater than 0 for the 3-D Object, Media Folder, and Media File parameters. The selected media
file will be mapped onto the selected 3-D object.
To output an image from a DL.2 fixture:
1. Open the mechanical iris by setting the Dimmer parameter to full (100%)
2. Set the Global Intensity parameter to full (100%).
3. Set the Object opacity to full (100%)
4. Adjust the Object, Media Folder, and Media File parameters to greater than zero
When programming with Wholehog software, the Media Folder and Object parameters default to
1 so choosing any Media File DMX value from 1-35 will display a media loop from the HES Core
folder (Media Folder 1) wrapped on a Flat Plane (Object 1).
Remember: The Dimmer, Opacity and Global Intensity Parameters all have to be
greater than zero before the image you create becomes visible.
