After you imported a bitmap fixture in your show, you can control the bitmap fixture in the fixture sheet. For more information, see fixture sheet.
The following table describes the specific bitmap fixture attributes. For more basic information about control fixtures or channels, see control channels and fixtures.
Attribute
Description
Dimmer
Controls the dimmer intensity.
Mix Color (RGB)
Controls red, green, and blue.
HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness)
Controls hue shift, saturation, and brightness. HSB is a color correction of the selected RGB values.
VObj (= Video Object) Images
Select the image from the image pool, used for the bitmap fixture. For more information, see import image. Important: By default are 100 images displayed, even if less images are in the image pool.
VObj Output
Select the layout from the layout pool, used for the bitmap fixture. For more information, see layouts. Important: By default are 100 layouts displayed, even if less layouts are in the layout pool.
VPos (= Video Position)
Moves the position of the image on a relative x, y, z axis in the layout view. If you have two images about each other, the one with the lower z axis value is in front.
VRot (= Video Rotation)
Rotates the images around the z axis. The combination between CX (= Center X) and CY (= Center Y) moves the rotation midpoint of the z axis relative in the layout view. 0 is the center of the z axis.
VImg (= Video Image)
Select the video image: (See screenshots below the table for better visualization). Tile -: Image will be added behind. Every second image is mirrored. No Tile: No image will be added. Tile +: Image will be added behind.
VPlayer (= Video Player) Play Mode
Select the video play mode:
- Loop loops endlessly.
- Play plays once and stops with the last frame.
- Play and Off plays once and fades out with the last frame.
- Pause pauses the video clip.
VPlayer Speed
Controls the speed of playing back videos.
VScale (= Video Scale)
Scales the image on the x and y axis.
- 1:1
- 1:-1 mirrored
VPreset (= Video Preset) Mode
Select the video preset mode:
- Dimmer (default for only dimmer fixtures)
- RGB + Dim
- RGB (default for fixtures using RGB)
- Preset Types allows to have the bitmap fixture running between two presets of a preset type VP1 and VP2
VPreset VP1
Set the preset pool index of the low value (black), e.g. 1 (= red color).
VPreset VP2
Set the preset pool index of the high value (white), e.g. 2 (= green color).
Important:
If you pause a video clip in the VPlayer and subsequently tap Play or Loop, the clip is played back from the start.
After you have modified all the attributes, you can store the look in a cue. For more information, see cues and sequences.
