Annex A. (normative) Attribute Definitions
To describe the fixture types attributes are used. Attributes define the function. (n) and (m) are wildcards for the enumeration of attributes like Gobo(n) - Gobo1 and Gobo2 or VideoEffect(n)Parameter(m) - VideoEffect1Parameter1 and VideoEffect1Parameter2. Fixture Type Attributes without wildcards (n) or (m) are not enumerated. The enumeration starts with 1. The currently defined Fixture Type Attributes are specified in table A1.
Note 1: The predefined Fixture Type Attributes are the preferred to use Fixture Type Attribute. At any time user defined attributes can be introduced as well.
