Creating a Background using DMX512 control:
Step 1. Set Camera Intensity to value 255.
Note: The Camera Intensity channel controls the built-in dimmer on the I/O module. If this channel is
set to 0, no output will appear on the output device.
Step 2. Select Texture 1 and Object 1 channels. Set Transparency to full (255). A white square will
appear on display.
Step 3. Deselect Object 1 channel, so that only Texture 1 channel is selected.
Step 4. Adjust desired parameters for Texture as desired.
