Loading a Fixture Personality

Some devices may not be included in the onboard library or discoverable via RDM.

To request a fixture personality, please email ColorSourceConsole@etcconnect.com with the fixture manual, the required mode(s) and, if applicable, a deadline for the creation of the personality. Alternatively, download the ColorSource Personality Editor from etcconnect.com to create custom personalities.

To load a personality:

  1. Save the file to the root directory of a USB drive. The file must be named userlib.jlib in order to be recognized.
  2. With the USB drive plugged into the device, go to Setup > Patch > Add Device.
  3. From the Source dropdown, select User Library. A new library will display with your fixture listed by its manufacturer’s name.

Note: Custom profiles are only saved to your device if they are patched and saved with the show file. Please back up any important files to a separate location.
