6.6 Pattern Modes

Click the Pattern Mode button at the top of the GUI to display the Pattern Mode panel as shown in Figure 6-6.

The Pattern Mode panel allows the user to create a pattern sequence. First the user must choose the operating mode by selecting which of the three pattern modes to use. The three pattern modes are:

  1. Pre-Stored Pattern Mode. In this mode the patterns are pre-stored in flash memory and loaded into the internal memory of the DLPC900 by the firmware. The pattern sequences and images must first be defined before starting the pattern sequence.
  2. Video Pattern Mode. In this mode, the images are streamed from the incoming video source. The pattern sequences must be defined first before starting the pattern sequence.
  3. Pattern On-The-Fly Mode. In this mode the patterns are uploaded to the internal memory of the DLPC900 via the USB or the I2C interface. The pattern sequences must be defined first before starting the pattern sequence. Using USB is preferred for the higher upload speed.
