mvr fixture importer

MVR Fixture Importer is a tool for importing MVR (My Virtual Rig) files into Avolites Titan consoles. The application parses MVR and GDTF fixture data, allowing users to extract and map fixture information for use in their Titan showfiles.

CONSOLE CONNECTION

The Console Connection section establishes communication with an Avolites Titan console or any device running Titan software (such as Titan Go or the Titan Simulator).

To connect:

  1. Enter the IP address of the target console or Titan device

  2. Click Connect

The current connection status is reflected in the status bar, confirming whether the link was successful or if any issues occurred.

Once connected, the Connect button changes to Refresh. Clicking Refresh updates the lists of fixtures, groups, palettes, and masters from the console.
