FIXTURE PROFILES Introduction A fixture profile contains detailed information for a fixture. A profile describes the kind of fixture that is being used, as well as the number of control channels that the fixture has and how each channel effects the fixture. Various apps and software can then use the information stored in the profile to make it easier for a fixture to be controlled and programmed.
FIXTURE PROFILES Creating A New Fixture tap the “+ Profile” button (bottom left) to create a new fixture. Enter a name and manufacturer are listed on the left and fixtres are listed on the right. A small circle is shown to the top right of each fixture. If the circle is green, the fixture is synchronised with Light Cloud. If it is red, the fixture is not synchronised. The App will do this automatically when connected to Light Cloud.
BUILDING A PROFILE Setting Fixture Properties The Fixture Properties view on the right is where all the general information about the fixture can be selected. The most important things to set here are: • Profile Name • Name • Manufacturer • Fixture Type Note: Be sure to remove “LED” from Lamp Type if your lamp is not LED. If LED is not removed on a non-LED lamp’s profile, control software may try to control the lamp level to create a strobe which can damage the lamp.
BUILDING A PROFILE Creating A Channel Tap the “+ Channel” button (lower left) to create a channel. Next, select the channel type. Next, choose a preset. The top row shows the presets which are most commonly used while the remaining rows list all of the available presets. (If a preset from the top row is selected, the corresponding preset below will also be automatically selected.) Example: Adding Shutter Open, Shutter Closed and Shutter Strobe presets to a Shutter & Strobe channel.
BUILDING A PROFILE Editing Presets Once a channel has been added, it will appear on the left. Dragging the slider will change the value of the channel. Be sure that the “Start Channel” (that is displayed at the bottom) is the same number as the DMX address that the actual fixture is set to. Associated presets are displayed on the right. On iPad, these are displayed in a grid view and on android, these are displayed in a list.
