ArKaos VJ 3.6.1 DMX Page 10
4.3.3. Checking your setup
Once you made your setup, you can start working. This part will describe simple steps to check that
your DMX setup is working.
You must have a file opened in ArKaos. Have a look at the User Manual to understand how to
manage files, import media etc. With the fixture, everything is controlled from the DMX console,
except monitor settings and resolution (cf User Manual).
Create a new file and drag & drop some visuals from your file browser to the Visuals Database.
When a file with visuals is opened, follow these steps on your DMX console to get a media to appear
on the screen:
• Set the visual category channel to movie (DMX value between 32 & 64)
• Set the visual index: the default value is 0 which means that no visual is selected on
the layer. Setting the “Visual Index” channel to 1 will select the first visual in the selected
category. Since we just selected the movie category, the first movie that you have imported in
ArKaos should now be selected on the layer 1.
• Set the Dimmer channel to 100% and the first movie will appear !
5. Parameters description
This part will explain each parameter of the fixture as well as their default values.
• Dimmer: intensity (transparency) of the layer. If the Copy mode is different from
“Transparent”, the transparency is not available, in which case the intensity of the layer will
be full when the channel value is non zero.
• Visual Category: picture / movie / live camera / Flash text
• Visual Index: Index of the visual in the selected category. Set it to zero to have no visual (if
you want to apply an effect on the global output, on the last layer for example)
• Effect Category: There are 5 categories: 3D effects, Video, Transitions, Artistic and
FreeFrame.
• Effect Index: Index of the effect in the selected category. Effects are listed in the Fixture
Effect Presets document.
• Copy Mode: Transparent, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Minimum or Maximum. This
defines how the layer is blended with the background.
