(Please see this article for general information on fixture creation) How do I make a channel slider display 0-255, rather than the 0-100% default range? Question: I am manually creating a DMXIS fixture file. This is necessary, as manufacturers often squeeze lots of features into a single channel: Gobo You can mix static & variable ranges in one channel. Static ranges always need a label (or you will see an empty label uder the slider!).If the label is blank (as above) we only see a percentage displayed under the fader.Blackout values are automatically loaded for that fixture when the DMXIS Master Level control is set to minimum.
Only Dimmer ranges will react to the DMXIS Master Level control.Static ranges only display a label under the DMXIS slider.Variable ranges are displayed as a percentage under the DMXIS slider.Type can be V (variable), S (static), D (dimmer) or B (blackout).Each range contains the fields type, min, max, label.Each channel in turn contains a number of ranges covering 0-255 (the range of possible DMX values).įor example, a 3 channel fixture with Pan/Tilt/Speed channels might look like this: Pan Fixture file internal formatĮach DMXIS fixture file contains a simple list of channels. You can copy your own fixture files into to any existing subfolder, or create your own subfolder (e.g. The DmxLibrary folder contains a subfolder for each manufacturer. OS X : /Library/Application Support/ENTTEC/DMXIS/DmxLibrary/.Windows: C:/Program Files (x86)/ENTTEC/DMXIS/DmxLibrary/.Once you have a new fixture file (either downloaded from the online editor or created by hand) it must be saved into the DMXIS fixture library folder: Most OS X editors save in this format by default, On Windows, Crimson Editor is a good choice. Fixture files must be saved as UNIX format. If you do not want to use the online editor, you can manually create the fixture file in a text editor. DMXIS fixtures Manually create a fixture file Fixtures can be imported into D-PRO directly from the Patch window. D-PRO fixturesĬurrently, the only way to create an import a new fixture into D-PRO is via the online fixture editor (see above). More help and a tutorial video is available on the fixture editor page. Then you can log in and download or create fixtures for both DMXIS and D-PRO. This public fixture database is an easy way to create fixture definitions for use in both DMXIS and D-PRO, and to download fixtures already created by other DMXIS/D-PRO users. The easiest solution is to use the DMXIS online fixture editor.
