The company says the Builder offers a friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface) for creating and editing personality files. Users can amend existing fixtures or start building their own fixtures from scratch. The personality files (sometimes referred to as 'profiles') are visualised by a coloured diagram to indicate good data and to highlight typical mistakes when inputting the fixture's DMX table, such as overlapping channels and values. Personality files created with the Builder can be used directly by Cuelux; the Builder also features an upload function to send the newly created file to Visual Productions' server to be included in the next software release.
Visual Productions says it will continue its free-of-charge service to create personality files on users' request. However, the Builder is specifically addressing situations where personalities are required outside of office hours.
