Fixture details and DMX monitor
Click a fixture to see its address, its mode and all channel values live. The DMX monitor adds all 512 channels of a universe at a glance.
Step by step
- Click a light. On the right you see “Fixture”, “Manufacturer”, “Type”, “DMX” (universe and channel range) and “Mode”.
Details show the address and cells. - Below that, every cell of the fixture is listed with a color swatch and plain text, e.g. dimmer, strobe, color, pan and tilt. Under it are the single channels with address, bar and value.
- Click “More” at the top right → “DMX monitor”. The “DMX monitor” opens at the bottom with all 512 channels.
The monitor shows every channel of the universe. - “U1”, “U2” … switch the universe.
- Used channels are marked, and the channels of the selected fixture are highlighted as well.
- Hover over a channel: the top of the monitor shows which fixture uses it and its value.
- Close the details with “×”, and the monitor by choosing “More” → “DMX monitor” again.
