Fixture Types

grandMA3 User Manual » Fixture Types
Version 2.1

Fixture types are used to visualize and control real-life fixtures on stage.

A fixture type is a footprint of a real fixture, smoke machine, laser, media server, dimmer, or anything to be controlled and visualized with a grandMA3 console.

A fixture type is described with the following parameters:

  • modes
  • channels
  • physical properties

You can find a substantial amount of fixture types and manufacturers in the grandMA3 library.

Fixture types are also available for download from MA Fixture Share and GDTF Share webpages.

Beyond that, it possible to build a fixture from scratch with its own parameters and attributes using the fixture builder! The grandMA3 software includes its own fixture builder.
Using the GDTF Builder is also an option.
