New Features in v2.0.0:
DMXProtocol
The DMX protocol has expanded in both effects and layers for v2.0 when running the
fixture in the new v2 protocol. Users may select between Protocol Mode v1 and v2 in the
fixture menu and CMA.
The following new features are available when running the fixture in v2 protocol mode:
Global
• 5 banks of Global Effects
• Framing Shutters feature added on the Global layer
• Viewpoint has been re-purposed by adding additional modes for Collage
adjustments as needed using the 3 16-bit channels for X,Y,Z
• Spherical mapping control sets 2 and 3 now available globally.
Layers
• Up to 9 total layers of playback
• 3 banks of Layer Effects
Note: Additional layers are available with the following constraints:
• DL.2 fixtures will be capped at 4 layers total (Range 0-4).
• Early Axons (Intel Motherboards) will be capped at 4 layers.
• DL.3 and late Axons (Asus Motherboards) allow up to 9 layers (Range 0-
9).
“GasGauge”PerformanceIndicators
Three “Gas Gauge” performance indicators have been added to the CMA and HUD
screen to show the user the current load on the computer server and the available
resources remaining. This allows users to intelligently use additional layers within the
capabilities of the hardware available in their system.
The three Gas Gauge Indicators available are:
• CPU Usage
• System Memory Remaining
• Hard Drive Load
LogFileDownload
A method of downloading system log files from the servers has been added in the CMA.
Users can now download log files by going into the All Servers view in the CMA and
right-clicking and selecting “Download Log”. Logs are saved with a .dlf (digital log file)
extension.
These log files can help High End Systems support technicians with troubleshooting any
problems that may be encountered on the DL.3, DL.2, and Axons servers.
