QuickQ - I can't find a fixture when I try to Patch

Perform a Quick Search with our Online Fixture Finder


TIP: DO NOT enter names; use only the DMX channel count and DMX channel types to find an equivalent fixture to use for the one you need.


Found one? - Yes


Found one? - No


Hints:

#1. You can get very good control of most LED fixtures using a fixture with a smaller DMX foot print than the actual DMX channel count, here is an example.

Actual Fixture: MyFixturetoday model, Ineeditowork mode.

  1. Red
  2. Green
  3. Blue
  4. Amber
  5. Lime
  6. UV
  7. Dim
  8. Strobe
  9. Control some other thing
  10. Functions of some type
  11. Parameters of some other type

Use a Generic 6 chan RGBALUV. Patch each fixture 1 at a time and use DMX #12 for the 2nd fixture and 25 for the 3rd, etc....You will have full control of this fixture using the generic and can dim it and use the inbuilt QuickQ FX for strobes.


#2. You can patch the number of dimmers in the DMX channel count to at least get some output on stage. This is also useful if you need to work out what channel does what on the fixture because you have no information on the fixture at all.
