Fixture Mode / Personality
A Fixture Mode, also called a Personality, defines how the fixture’s DMX channels are mapped to its functions.
The same physical fixture can provide several personalities.
A simpler personality may expose only the most commonly used controls, while a larger personality may provide access to:
- Fine movement
- Additional colour systems
- Gobos
- Optical effects
- Pixels
- Patterns
- Framing
- Fixture-specific functions
TRP also includes compact Theatrical personalities on many fixtures.
These are intended for simpler control through the TRP/Theatrical environment, while the larger model-specific personalities expose substantially more of the fixture’s implementation.
Always check the individual fixture documentation before patching it.
