Graphics Engine Overview
DL.2 fixture’s and Axon Media servers both use the same graphic engine
software to control content selection, playback, and 3-D Object and Global
manipulation.
Axon Protocol Options
Axon media servers and DL.2 fixtures both provide individual and composite graphical control
for up to three 3-D Objects. You can control the “footprint” of the fixture on a DMX link by
choosing to implement only the number of 3-D objects you need. Select the protocol level in the
fixture’s onboard menu system for DL.2 fixtures or through the CMA for both DL.2 fixtures and
Axon media servers (see Viewing Fixture Configuration Values on page 205).
Appendix A: DL.2 and Axon DMX Protocol on page 229 has a detailed listing of all the
parameters for Axon media servers and they are discussed in more detail in the following
chapters.

Image Optimizing Controls
Images can now be optimized for each cue. It is no longer necessary to pre-optimize images
with a separate software system on a separate computer when preparing for a show. Using
Visual modes, (see Visual Mode Options on page 82), you can adjust both Black Level and
Contrast for each cue and for each image.
