Layer Options
Similar to the Preview adjustments, the layer options have the same four sections:
Layer Options allows adjustments to be made to the layer properties and can be controlled either directly from the UI or remotely by connecting with Synergy.
Reset to Default
Reset To Default is a quick way to reset all of the user adjusted parameters, just as a locate or home button would do on a console.
Sync to DMX
When Prism Zero is being controlled from a lighting console using Synergy, there might be an occasion where a quick adjustment of the parameters in the Prism Zero's user interface can be preferable. This can result in a mismatch between the values on the console and within the interface.
The Sync to DMX feature is used to allow the Prism UI controls to immediately adjust to the most recently received values from the console. This can be used anytime the UI needs to be kept in line with the external device values.
Note: Instructions for setting up a Synergy Connection can be found on the settings
