4 VX76 BASIC PROFILE EDITOR USER MANUAL
Profile Name
1 The topmost bar is used to specify the unique name used to identify the profile throughout the console. Note that
no manufacturer is specified, as all Basic profiles are given the Manufacturer name of "Basic Profile" for
organizational purposes.
Name
2 This is the name of the profile as typically defined by the manufacturer (e.g., VL5, Bad Boy, Alpha Profile 1200,
etc.).
Option
3 This is the software configurable Option or Mode of the fixture. Sometimes this has a specific name, such as
Extended, Condensed, 16Bit, Extended Vector, etc. Often there is no name associated with the fixtures option, in
which case the channel count should be used, such as "9 Ch." This field is not required, but highly recommended
to avoid confusion with other profiles.
Short Name
4 This is an abbreviated name used to reference the profile thorough out the console when character space is
limited. A shortened version of the profile name is suggested here.
Intensity
5 This second bar is used to manage the Intensity channel and associated control information.
Address
6 This is the DMX address and bit size of the Intensity channel (if applicable).
Lamp Type
7 This is used to enable and disable special settings and options depending the intensity type of the fixture. In most
cases this choice should be rather obvious. If you are unable to determine the fixtures lamp type and the fixture
does indeed have a light output, it is suggested to choose "Other."
If a fixture has no intensity channel, choose "None" so that a phantom intensity channel may be added for the
purpose of cue data storage.
Control
8 When Arc, Tungsten, or Other are chosen for the Lamp Type, this section allows you to specify whether the fixture
has on-board intensity control or whether intensity is controlled via a separate control address (e.g., VL5). In the
case of the latter, the DMX address will blank out, as it will be specified separately when the profile is patched in
the console.
In the case of an LED fixture, this area specifies whether or not the fixture has a dedicated intensity channel (With
Intensity), or an inferred intensity by the combined state of the color channels (Without Intensity).
Add Parameter Button
9 Adds a new DMX channel to the end of the parameter list.
Remove Parameter Button
10 Removes the selected DMX channel from the list.
Export Profile Button
11 Once the profile is complete, press this button to begin the export process and create a portable Profile Bundle.
At this time the software will do a final profile validation and warn of any problems. Most problems must be
resolved before the profile will be exported.
Parameter List
12 List of DMX channels in order of address.
