Adding Fixtures

Once the network is configured and the MBOX servers are connected, the servers will need to be added to MBOX
Director so they can be controlled. The "Add Fixture" window is used to locate MBOX servers on the network.

Before adding fixtures, it is a good idea to configure the DMX Profile type at the MBOX server’s Setup window
(such as Single Output, Panoramic Dual, Dual Independent, etc.) For more information, refer to

"Changing

Configuration / Using Dual Output Features"

on page 14.

Note: Refer to

"Important Concepts"

on page 3 for definitions of "Fixture" and "Server."

To add fixtures:

Step

1. At MBOX Director main screen, click Add Fixture icon [+]. (If no servers are connected, the button will be

flashing.)

Step

2. At "Choose from detected Mboxes" list, select MBOX server. (If the network settings are configured

properly, the servers will appear in this list.)
