Workflow Overview

Pixmap Pro consolidates patch and position data for all fixtures from the MVR project file, along with our "Pixmap Fixture Types" — either from our predefined library or custom-made by you before exporting it to be used in the mediaserver.

1 - Import Fixturepatch

Import all or selected fixtures from an MVR file directly from the lighting console or design software into Pixmap Pro. The data imported includes Fixture ID, DMX address, 3D position, rotation, GDTF device name, and manufacturer.

2 - Create fixtureprofiles

If the fixtures you need aren't already in our library, you can create your own custom fixtures. Simply create a 3D mesh using an external tool like Blender, and then input the profile data into Pixmap Pro. These custom fixture profiles can later be exported and reused as needed.

3 - Assign fixtureprofiles

The final step before exporting is to organize fixtures into logical groups and assign a fixture profile to each one. If you've entered a matching GDTF name in your fixture profile, you can auto-map the entire patch with just one click.

4 - Export

Now you're ready to export! Pixmap Pro generates 3D meshes (OBJ), DMX addressing (CSV), and a test pattern (PNG) for each fixture group, all compatible with Disguise media server DMX-screen.
