Adding a profile from the fixture database
The fixture database holds about 1,800 free profiles from the QLC+ library. For many moving heads you'll find a matching profile there in two clicks.
Step by step
- Under “Fixture database”, every moving head without a profile is listed with manufacturer, channel count and number in the project, with up to three suggestions below.
- Look at the tags:
The label shows how well a profile fits. - “sure match”: same manufacturer, almost the same name.
- “similar”: a similar name, e.g. a different channel count or manufacturer entry.
- “different mode”: the profile has no mode with your fixture's channel count.
- More tags show what the profile can do: gobos, color wheel, prism, zoom.
- No suggestions? Type manufacturer and model into the search field, e.g. “Chauvet Intimidator 355”.
- Click a result. The visualizer loads the profile and shows a preview with gobos, colors and modes.
You get a preview before applying. - Check “For fixture” to see which fixture it belongs to. Below it says “Matches: a …-channel mode is available.” or shows a warning.
- Click “Add”. “✓ “…” added for …” appears.
More from “Fixture profiles & rig”
- How Droplit recognizes your lightsDroplit reads your SoundSwitch project and builds your rig from it: which fixtures there are, what they can do, which groups they belong to and in which order they stand. You don't have to create anything by hand.Summary
- Roles: what a fixture does in showsThe role decides what a fixture does in your shows. The designer assigns it when it recognizes your rig, and if it got something wrong, you change it with a few clicks.Summary
- Roles & order: check groups and rolesIn the “Roles & order” window you check and change what the designer recognized from your patch: groups, order, roles, moving heads, positions and gobo mapping.Summary
- Taking over your rig in another projectA checked rig doesn't only apply to copies with exactly the same patch. If you open a project where your fixtures are patched a little differently, the designer takes over groups, roles and order from the most similar rig you have already checked.Summary
- Hiding fixtures you don't bringNot every fixture in your patch comes to every gig. If you hide it, it disappears from the 3D view and the floor plan, and in “Fixtures & stage” the shows leave it out too.Summary
