Mapping Visualizer Data

Specific lighting device data can be mapped to visualizer data fields. The mapping applies when exporting a Vectorworks file to a lighting console or visualizer with the Export MVR command, or when exporting to Vision with the Send to Vision or Export ESC commands.

To configure mapping:

1. Select the command.

2. The Spotlight Preferences dialog box opens. Click the Lighting Device tab.

3. Click Edit Visualizer Data Mapping.

The Visualizer Data Mapping dialog box opens. The visualizer data field names display on the left. On the right, the Vectorworks lighting device parameters are available for mapping.

4. For each visualizer data field, select the associated lighting device parameter to map to it during export.

The Gobo and Color data fields are for use by conventional fixtures that only support a single gobo or color (typically non-moving light fixtures).
