Fixture Profiles and DMX Control Fixture Profiles Overview The Fixture Profiles page on the MaestroDMX Web-App stores a built-in fixture library as well as provides an interface for users to create or upload their fixture profiles. Clicking on the Fixture Profile search bar will display a list of current fixtures and allow users to search for their desired fixture, including fixtures that you have created. You can search by manufacturer or fixture name. If the fixture profiles you need are not in the built-in library please visit the MaestroDMX Fixture Profile Webpage. Help! My Fixture Profile Is Not In The Library If the fixture profiles you need are not in the built-in library please visit the MaestroDMX Fixture Profile Webpage. Here you can search and download the desired fixtures. The fixture profiles will download in a JSON format which can then be uploaded to MaestroDMX’s fixture profile library. If your fixture is unavailable on the webpage, you can create the profile yourself or contact support for help. Uploading Fixture Profiles To The Library If you have a JSON formatted fixture profile file you can upload it or restore it to the fixture profile library. In the top right corner of the Fixture Profile page is a 3-dot menu “ADD” button. Click here and navigate to “+ Add Profile”. In the pop-up dialog select “Restore From Backup” to upload the JSONfile.

NOTE: For each fixture profile you will need to repeat this process.

Any fixture profiles that have been added will now be available in your fixture profile library and can be added to the stage. Understanding Attributes In MaestroDMX As you may know, DMX fixture channels have many attribute types. For example, pan, tilt, color wheel, gobo, etc. It is important to understand that MaestroDMX classifies attribute types into either Dynamic or Static. Dynamic attributes are controlled in an autonomous fashion by MaestroDMX’s intelligent algorithms while Static attributes are set to an editable single value for the lifetime of the Stage. NOTE: As MaestroDMX develops, the following list will evolve and more attributes will come under the control of MaestroDMX.
