Manufacture Additions?

[chris@stagelitedesigns.com]

Hello, Has anyone heard when we will get the addition of some manufacture made profiles for entire lines of fixtures uploaded?   It seems like the GMA3 software is waiting for this?  There are the MA2 fixtures you can use but they are not accurate in the new software.  Hope that makes sense......

Hello @chris@stagelitedesigns.com,

it is up to every manufacturer to do this work and some are already working on it. Do not forget that MA2 profiles dealt pretty much only with DMX. GDTF is solving much broader scope - DMX and channel dependencies, media (gobos and animations), prisms, 3D models, physical data (angles, color and spectral data) and also physical speed data (rotations, time of movement, acceleration).

This means much more work and it does not happen overnight, but i would suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your lighting fixtures and ask for GDTF files, because manufacturers should also see if there is any interest in GDTF from the user base.

Kind regards

Petr
