Fixtures

Every fixture you run, patched and controlled by real parameters.

Moving heads, wash and beam, strobes, conventional dimmers, and the full LED and pixel range, all in one project. More than 3,600 fixtures ship built in, and any GDTF file drops in at runtime.

Preview of the Fixtures panel. A patch table with columns Name, Mode, Uni, and Adr listing MAC Viper Profile in Basic mode at universe 1 address 1, MAC Aura in Standard mode at universe 1 address 27, MAC Aura in Standard mode at universe 1 address 41, Robin MegaPointe in Mode 1 - MegaPointe mode at universe 2 address 1, 12P Hex in 12CH mode at universe 2 address 40, 12P Hex in 12CH mode at universe 2 address 52, Dotz Par in 4 Channel mode at universe 3 address 1, Pixelbar in 8-Stack mode at universe 4 address 1.

One show, not two

Your full rig and your LED, in one show.

Most setups split the work in two: a lighting console for the fixtures, plus a separate pixel-mapping app or media server for the LED. Spectralite removes the second app. Your movers and your pixel-dense LED, programmed side by side on one timeline.
  • Full rig and pixel-dense LED in one project
  • One timeline, one operator, no second app
  • Thousands of LED channels alongside your movers

Preview of one Spectralite project driving a mixed rig. A Timeline panel shows three layers named Movers, LED Matrix, and Beat Blocks over a four-bar beat grid with a moving playhead. A Preview panel below shows a row of five moving-head dots and a dense LED dot matrix, and a single color sweep passes across both in sync with the playhead.

Fixture library

A library that already knows your rig.

More than 3,600 fixtures ship built in: real hardware from Martin, GLP, Chauvet, ADJ, and more. Each carries its real DMX modes, so you patch the exact personality your light is set to.

Preview of the built-in fixture library. A brand list with Robe, Clay Paky, Martin, Vari-Lite, Ayrton, GLP, Elation, Chauvet, ADJ, where each brand reveals built-in fixture models such as Robin MegaPointe, Sharpy, MAC Viper Profile, VL1600 Profile, Khamsin, impression X4, Proteus Maximus, Maverick Force 2 Profile, Focus Spot 4Z.

Native GDTF

Built on GDTF. Import any fixture at runtime.

Spectralite reads the General Device Type Format, the open cross-vendor standard for fixture profiles. Import a .gdtf file and you get the exact channel map the manufacturer published.
  • Import single GDTF files at runtime, into one project or your whole library
  • Multi-break fixtures and 16-bit fine channels supported
  • Per-mode DMX personalities, matched to the mode your fixture is set to
  • Measured emitter color data feeds the color engine when the file carries it

Preview of the Import GDTF dialog. It reads: import a fixture from a GDTF (.gdtf) file, optionally save it to your library for use in all projects. A checked checkbox labeled Save to library for all projects, a note that re-importing the same fixture updates the existing entry instead of creating a duplicate, and Cancel and Select File and Import buttons.

Fixture types

Moving heads and pixel-dense LED, first-class together.

Patch a moving head and drive its real parameters. Patch a dimmer and control its level. Patch a matrix and address every pixel. All of it first-class in the same project.

  • Moving heads: pan, tilt, gobo, color wheel, strobe
  • Wash and beam fixtures
  • Strobes
  • Conventional dimmers
  • LED and pixel fixtures, single-cell to full matrices
Patching

Patch by universe and address, with conflicts flagged.

Patch each fixture with the same 1-based universe and address printed on its display, no pre-subtracting. The Address Space panel maps every channel and flags any cell claimed twice, so you know before doors that nothing is fighting over a channel.

Preview of the Address Space panel. A sidebar lists universes one to sixteen with universe two selected and flagged with a red overlap dot. The address grid shows 128 channels of universe two: a 39-channel moving head in gray, a 12P Hex with its emitter channels colored red, green, blue, amber, white, and UV, an RGB pixel bar as repeating red, green, and blue cells, and four cells claimed by two fixtures drawn in red with an overlap count badge. A detail bar below names both overlapping fixtures.

RDM

Discover and address RDM fixtures over Art-Net.

With an Art-Net output enabled, Spectralite discovers RDM responders and lets you set addresses, run identify, and watch sensors, without leaving the app.
