SHOWPIX and StudioPix Protocol Modes
You can choose from four protocol modes for variable programming styles. High End Systems is
currently distributing the detailed DMX protocols as requested to console and visualizer
manufacturers in an attempt to ensure that the fixture libraries are created in a method that
allows optimum control of the fixture. The charts below provide only an outline of each
channel's function. If your console does not provide a library for SHOWPIX and StudioPix
fixtures, please contact the console manufacturer to have one created.
Standard Protocol
Standard protocol provides motion control plus full graphics engine control of images, colors,
and effects for the two separate image files and the composite image they form. For details on
specific DMX parameters, see Chapters
5–10.
