Heyo,
so i am running 4 classic ADJ Par 56 Cans via an optima matrix DMX pro 4 chan Dimmer (2 circuits per dimmer). In essence i currently run 4 Par 56 cans in Chans 1,2,3,4... yet i can run two per chan.
Now the dimmer is set up via a custom "fixture"... with 4 channels. How do i get those 4 par cans to show up individually via 3D.

Add 4 seperate "par cans" and then these will show up. you just have 4 fixtures in place of a 4 channel dimmer box.

Think of setting up your light show with the fixtures rather than how they are controlled. For example - if you have 24 par cans run off 4, 6 channel dimmer boxes - put 24 par cans in your show and as long as they are simply a dimmer there will be no problem talking to the dimmer that is controlling the par cans.
