Fixture Profiles Overview

Created by Technical Support, Modified on Thu, 21 Nov at 5:44 PM by Technical Support

To have MaestroDMX control your DMX fixtures it first needs to have the corresponding fixture profiles saved into its fixture profile library. The Fixture Profiles page on the MaestroDMX Web-App displays your fixture profile’s library. By default, there are some basic generic built-in profiles here. However, most likely you will need to get the latest profiles to match your lights.

To get started:

  • Please visit the MaestroDMX Fixture Profile Webpage 

  • Search for your DMX fixtures via name and manufacturer

  • Download and save the latest fixture profiles for your DMX lights

The fixture profiles will be downloaded and saved to a .json file format which can then be uploaded to MaestroDMX’s fixture profile library via the MaestroDMX Web-App.

NOTE: If your fixture is unavailable on the webpage, you can create the profile yourself or contact support for help. For more information on creating fixture profiles yourself, see the heading “Creating Fixture Profiles” below.

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 JSON file. 

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.
