Using generic DMX profiles
Generic DMX profiles
The Generic DMX fixture profile allows control and programming of DMX effects that does not have a
suitable LightJockey profile. Although a generic profile is not really that usable for programming
intelligent fixtures it may be used as a last resort control if no suitable profile is available. The profiles
are mainly used for controlling 'channel devices' such as dimmer or switch packs or DMX controllable
smoke machines or stroboscopes.
The Generic fixture profile comes in 3 flavors: Level and Switch controls and specialized controls. All
generic controls implement 8 bit control channels.

controlling strobes, smoke machines or hazers.
The control is accessed from the levels/extended icon on the fixture tool bar. RGB Packs are
controlled through the RGB pack color control

count than the device to control. Note that to control devices of more than 32 channels, several
profiles may be configured and addressed in continuously in the DMX address space.
Level control (8 channel profile)
To program the control drag click the virtual faders to the desired values. Use the Preferences menu
to change the value format displayed on the fader between % (0-FF) values or digital values (0-255).

check All on the popup menu. Disable All to control channels individually. The control may be
customized to display a user defined label for each of the control channels (see below). Use the the
generic DMX control to control some or all of the channels allocated to level controls without going
