MaestroDMX

Fixture The real-world physical manifestation of a DMX controllable piece of hardware. For example:

● A moving head DMX light or flood light, LED pixels, etc ● A DMX controllable laser, haze machine, or flame effect

A live show typically has many fixtures on a given stage.

Stage A MaestroDMX stage contains the Patcher, Layout, and Control pages.

Patcher This is where the fixtures are placed into the DMX universe based on their base addresses and assigned to fixture groups.

Layout Set the mapping (linear or grid) for the fixtures in each fixture group.

Controls Set default values for DMX channels in each fixture.

Fixture Group A group of fixtures. This can be useful to control parameters of many fixtures at once, such as brightness, color palettes, pattern, parameters, pixel mapping, etc.

FXPalette

A stored set of attribute values that map to a specific set of fixtures. For example, ● A color wheel palette may be set for 4 moving head lights, setting them all to the color red.

When this color wheel palette is recalled, the specific fixtures will show the color red.

Another example: ● An FX palette collection setting all moving heads to point to the wedding cake.

When this palette is recalled, all the moving heads will modulate their pan/tilt attributes to point at the wedding cake.

NOTE : FX Palettes will be released in a future software update

Show Control A Show is a ‘playlist’ of cues with a specified run length. You can play, pause, stop, go back, and go forward on the sequence.
