4 Supported light fixtures (and Standard Fixture IDs)

A catalog of the tens of thousands of unique DMX light fixtures is a long way out, but Finale 3D does keep track of the fixtures it knows about, to facilitate conversion between fixtures and to avoid conflicts.   Users can define their own fixtures by creating their own effects that contain within them the fixture definition, and DMX patch, and visualization instructions in the VDL.  User-defined fixtures can use fixture IDs in the range 1000000 and up to avoid conflicting with known fixtures listed in Table 1, as it grows.
