Execute the panorama collage:
1. Create a setup cue that identifies the content media file and folder, sets the Play Mode
parameter to Pause and Rewind to In Frame (DMX = 5) and the Opacity to 0 for the same
graphic object on all units you are configuring for the panorama.

2. For this example, follow with a cue that sets the Play Mode parameter of Play Loop Forward
(DMX = 0) and brings up the Opacity to 100% for the same graphic object on all units you
are configuring for the panorama.

Mapping a Collage to a Spherical Surface
The Spherical Mapping effect takes the normal rectangular output and wraps it on selected
portion of a sphere. This is the same as wrapping a flat map on to a globe. The horizontal
position of a point is its longitude. The vertical position of a point is its latitude.
portion of a sphere. This is the same as wrapping a flat map on to a globe. The horizontal
position of a point is its longitude. The vertical position of a point is its latitude.
Adjusting the Spherical Mapping effect requires a total of nine Modifier parameters. Selecting
Spherical Mapping along with the Collage Generator effect uses the available Global Effects. In
addition to the three Modifier Parameters associated with the Spherical Mapping selection, six
Modifier parameters are accessed by using two Graphic Effect Mode parameters. Any available
Effect from any Graphic Object can be used. The two Effects parameters do not have to be from
the same Graphic Object. One of these Effect enables the Modifier parameters to control the
vertical position of the projector (actually the graphics viewpoint), the vertical position of the
sphere and a vertical size control. The other Effect provides Effect Modifiers to control of the
amount of vertical bend in horizontal lines, the vertical center of the added bend, and a
horizontal size control.

Spherical Mapping Setup Guide
Before You Begin
Successful spherical mapping requires careful positioning of the DL.2 units or Axon-controlled
projectors you are using. Units should be mounted at equal angles from each other and the
same distance from the sphere. Mounting units at the same height will minimize the tilt angle
adjustments you will need to make.

Mapping Two Outputs to a Sphere
The following example describing mapping two outputs on a sphere, with each covering half of
the surface. For best results, make each adjustment to both outputs as you follow the example.
After you’ve completed the following steps, you can more easily transfer the DMX values to the
outputs for other cells of the collage.
