Creating a new Fixture Profile

How did it go? Please let us know if there are open questions with the profile you are or were trying to create.

Hi,

It worked really well, thanks.  I ended up creating some profiles before the official ones, but now I received the profiles from the profile request board.  Both ended up working. The only question I would have is, what does the background intensity feature typically do?  I tried to use it, but it seems to do nothing (Magic T12 Light).

Thanks again.

Good to hear!

Typically there are two cases for Background Intensity:

1. You have a fixture that has an effect parameter that groups the fixture's sources into two groups. One of those groups gets the color chosen by the RGB parameters, The other group gets the Background Color. Background Intensity would be associated with Background Color.
2. You have a fixture like a Mac Aura. Its primary output is a beam, but the lenses for the Beam are embedded in a bigger fresnel lens. Regular Intens and RGB could e.g. control the beam aspect of the fixture while the Background Intens (and its colors) control the eye candy lens aspect of the fixture.

Hope that helps.
