Integer Pins are those that count whole numbers.
Integer Pins (or Int Pins) are most commonly used to select between items in a list:
Alternatively, integers can also be represented by lists of buttons such as the transport controls for the media player:
In both cases, the lists represent different integer values for a single pin.
There are five different types of mappings in use in Hippotizer:
Mapping types for Integer Pins with an example:
- 8 Bit, 255 Step: Effect select
- 16 Bit, 65,535 Step: Media Select
- 8 Bit. 25 Step: Source Type Select
- 16 or 24 Bit frame count. Media Outpoint
- 8 Bit Custom X-Fade Fade Time
8 Bit, 255 Step
Once set to 8bit, a channel with the Data type of Int, will create this mapping by default.
Uses a single DMX channel to yield 255 possible options.
Suggested usage:
- Lists of maps (such as live mask or video map select) where the number of maps could exceed 25.
- Effects select
- Relay (Mix and Layer) Select
- Timecode Offset (4 channels: Hours, Minutes, Seconds and Frames)
16 Bit, 65,535 Step
Uses two DMX channels to choose between 65,535 steps.
Once set to 16bit, a channel with the Data type of Int, will create this mapping by default.
Despite being a single parameter in Hippotizer, the 16 bit integer mapping is frequently addressed as two different channels by lighting desks. The first channel works out to a bank select, while the 2nd channel is the clip select.
Suggested usage:
- Media select. (Bank and Clip)
- Preset (Bank and Clip)
- Media offset (Bank and Clip)
8 bit, 25 Step. Data Type:
Uses a single DMX channel to control smaller lists of up to 25 items. From Hippotizer Version 4.4 on wards, the mapping has been standardised; all 25 step parameters have the same assignments.
Once set to 8bit, a channel with the Data type of Step25, will create this mapping by default.
Suggested usage:
- Lists with less then 25 items such as Source Type
16/24bit Frame count
Uses two or three channels to set the in and outpoints of the media player in frames.
An additional option exists for the Outpoint and Loop Outpoint: Zero to Int Max.
When enabled, a value of zero will set the outpoint to ‘end of clip’: It will play to the end regardless of length.
Note: At 16 bit, there is a maximum outpoint of 65,535 frames, which equates to 36 minutes on a 30FPS clip. For longer clips, use 24bit. |
Suggested Usage:
- Media In and Outpoints
- Inner Loop in and outpoints.
8-Bit Custom
Used in limited cases to map large spreads of integer settings to a single channel.
Use the Linear with step to create the mapping. In the example below, setting 100 and pressing apply step will create the mapping.
Suggested Usage:
- X-Fade Fade Time.
