The pixel type is chosen in the type pop-up menu:
Park Syntax Guidelines:
+ If multiple values are expressed in one line they must be separated by commas.
+ Do not use commas in numbers greater than 999 (e.g., use 65535 not 65,535).
+ RGB = R,G,B color ordering as three 8-bit values (e.g., 127,255,0). This would be the same for CMY, CYM, BGR,
etc. The color is always expressed in RGB order, and therefore, Mbox will re-order the values appropriately.
+ RGB16 = R,G,B color ordering as either three 8-bit values (e.g., 127,255,0) or three 16-bit values (e.g.,
32767,65353,12789). This would be the same for CMY16 and CYM16. As with 8-bit RGB, the color is always
expressed in RGB order, and therefore, Mbox will re-order the values appropriately.
+ Luma = I as single 8-bit value (e.g., 127) or as three 8-bit values (e.g., 100,255,45 -> as an RGB color) from which
a CIE luma calculation will be made.
+ Luma16 = I as a single 8-bit value (e.g., 223), which is used to create a 16-bit output value, or as a single 16-bit
value (e.g., 21537), or as three 8-bit values (e.g., 89,127,123 -> an RGB color) from which a CIE luma calculation
will be made.
- If you use a single 8-bit or 16-bit number, then that number will be used/converted as the MSB in the output.
The LSB will be sent out as 0.
- If you use three 8-bit numbers, then the luma calculation will result in both MSB and LSB values.
+ Single Pixels (R, G, or B, etc.) = 8-bit value (e.g., 123)
+ Parked Pixel = 8-bit value (e.g., 255)
+ Parked16 Pixel = two 8-bit values, or one 16-bit value (e.g., 127,127 or 32767)
+ Incorrect syntax means the override is ignored/not applied.
+ If one 16-bit number is used, then all values are assumed to be 16-bit; even if they are less than 256.
Parked pixels in the previsualization:
+ 8-bit or 16-bit pixels with override values may appear in the previsualization with the parked color shown as a ring
around the pixel.
- The colored ring will only appear if the override uses three values - expressed as RGB.
- The colored ring always shows the RGB color of the override, even if the pixel is not RGB.
+ Single-channel color pixels with overrides do not show a parked color ring.
+ Luma and Luma16 pixels with overrides do not show a parked color ring.
+ Parked and Parked16 pixels do not show up in the previsualization, and therefore, will not show a parked color
ring.
