Chapter 6:

Graphic Functions: Defining Content

Each layer’s selected 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 on page 105.

Selecting Content

Three Parameters control Object 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, first open the dimmer and assign the global intensity to

full. Next, assign an object’s opacity to full. Adjust the Object, Media Folder, and Media File

parameters to greater than zero to view the output.

When programming with Wholehog software, the Media Folder and Object parameters default to

1 so choosing any Media File value will display a media loop from the HES Core folder (Media

Folder 1) wrapped on the DL.2 Logo (Object 1). This provides a quick start image that is easy to

edit to other Objects and other Media folders and Media files.

Remember: The Dimmer, Opacity and Global Intensity Parameters all have to be

greater than zero before the image you create becomes visible.
