The {{Manual Windowcaption|Effect Visualizer}} in DMXControl 3 provides a simple way to visualize how an effect and its parameters impact the various properties of the addressed {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Device_Group_DMXC3|Device Group]]}} or the addressed {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Device_DMXC3|Device]]}}.

= Overview =
The {{Manual Windowcaption|Effect Visualizer}} is a tool that can animate the values and effects from the pool of {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Effects_and_Filters_DMXC3|Effects and Filters]]}}. The {{Manual Windowcaption|Effect Visualizer}} always shows the entire effect, whereas in the {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Stage_View_DMXC3|Stage View]]}}, this effect may sometimes be incomplete.

= Important Features =

= Usage =
In the {{Manual Windowcaption|Effect Visualizer}} window, no settings need to be made manually. The content is solely determined by the {{Manual Windowcaption|[[Device_Control_DMXC3|Device Control]]}}, by selecting a particular property there.

== Common Misunderstandings ==
=== Circle Effect on Moving-Heads ===
When the circle effect is applied to the {{Manual Fields|Position}} property of a moving-head and slightly reduced in width and height, the {{Manual Windowcaption|Effect Visualizer}} still doesn't show the figure that the moving-head actually follows. If the circle effect remains centered, a circle will be shown in the {{Manual Windowcaption|Effect Visualizer}}, but the moving-head itself will perform a figure-eight. This is due to the fundamental construction of moving-heads. A figure-eight occurs when the head "tilts" over the center of the Tilt axis while the Pan axis continues rotating in the same direction.
To make the moving-head perform a perfect circle, the circle must not intersect the horizontal center but only touch it at most.

=== Large Red Component in Sine Effect on Color ===
When a point on the outer edge of a circle moves at a constant speed, it describes a sine wave over time, plotted along the X-axis<ref>{{Internetquelle|url=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_und_Kosinus#/media/Datei:Sinus_und_Cosinus_am_Einheitskreis.gif|
|titel=Animation of the construction of the sine and cosine function}} in the article {{Internetquelle|url=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_und_Kosinus||titel=Sine and Cosine}} at {{Internetquelle|url=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hauptseite||titel=Wikipedia}}</ref>. However, you can't simply reverse the sine wave back to the circle. The angle on the color circle is determined by the Hue value. What happens with the sawtooth wave is that it is applied to the Hue value. This creates the implementation of the effect on the color circle, as the Hue value increases linearly, making the pointer on the color circle move with linear speed around the circle. When a sine wave is applied to the Hue value, the often observed behavior emerges where the rainbow effect with a sine always results in a very large and prolonged red component.
