Fixture Library

Every lighting fixture is unique with its own set of features and capabilities. To control these fixtures effectively, we need detailed fixture definitions and that’s where the Fixture Library comes into play.

Each fixture definition provides comprehensive information for controlling a specific lighting fixture model. The definition includes detailed DMX channel information for each mode as well as information about physical features such as filters, gobos and light sources.

For your convenience, we maintain an extensive online fixture database accessible through the fixture library. Here, you can download and manage the fixture definitions that are relevant to your lighting setup.

The fixture library displays list of fixture definitions that have been added to your current show file. Each definition is uniquely identified by its manufacturer, model, and version number.
