Apply bitmap fixture in the layout view¶

Explained in (1)

Explanation: Moving heads: orientation, positions and XYZ

After the bitmap fixture is imported, it is necessary to have a layout containing the fixtures or channels, to use the bitmap fixture. The layout is the VObj (= Video Object) Output.

Requirement:

An imported bitmap fixture
A created layout view containing the fixtures using the bitmap fixture
Tap in the title bar of the layout view Setup.
The layout encoder bar opens.
Tap in the layout encoder bar at the rectangle .
Tap in the layout view and draw a rectangle around the fixtures or channels using the bitmap fixture.

Layout view with rectangle 4. The Edit Layout Element pop-up opens.

Edit layout element pop-up - visualization 5. Choose if the fixtures or channels should visualize the content of the bitmap fixture:
- Not mirrored, tap Bitmap

Layout view bitmap not mirrored

Horizontally mirrored on the x-axis, tap Bitmap_X

Layout view bitmap x

Vertically mirrored on the y-axis, tap Bitmap_Y

Layout view bitmap y

Horizontally and vertically mirrored on the x- and y-axis, tap Bitmap_XY

Layout view bitmap xy 6. Press Please or tap Please.

Important

The rectangle is a visual display and it represents the side ratio of the picture or the video. It is possible to use several rectangles in a layout. The rectangles can be mirrored individually as shown above.

Hint

To move the rectangle, use the move x or move y encoder or tap and hold the rectangle in the layout view and move it around.
To adjust the size of the rectangle for e.g. a 16:9 ratio, tap in the layout encoder bar at Position 1 of 3 to get Size 2 of 3. Use the encoder to adjust size x and size y.

The bitmap visualization is assigned to the fixtures or channels in the layout.
