[Sidus Link Pro] Fixture View

Overview

Fixture View is the default workspace for controlling DMX and CRMX fixtures in Sidus Link Pro. Each fixture shows as a slider on the stage with its name and live values. Tap a fixture to open its Parameter Controls and start adjusting.

If you are only working with Sidus Bluetooth lights, use Sidus BT View. For an alternative DMX layout that focuses on raw channels, see Channel View.

When to Use Fixture View

Day-to-day control of DMX or CRMX fixtures, where you want to see each fixture as a discrete object.
You need clear visibility into Intensity, CCT, HSI and FX per fixture.
You are building cues. Fixture View is the primary workspace that cues are recorded in. See Recording and Managing Cues.

The Stage

The stage is the main canvas in Fixture View. Each fixture slider shows:

Name - Whatever you named the fixture during patching.
Live Intensity - The master brightness, shown as a percentage on the fixtures slider.
Status Icons - Selection state, group and output level.
