MY VIRTUAL RIG

MY VIRTUAL RIG

Vectorworks has partnered with MA Lighting and Robe lighting to bring to the industry a new open-standard format known as the General Device Type Format (GDTF). The format has really taken off, with unified support from many of the biggest brands in the entertainment industry. To build on that momentum, we’ve introduced My Virtual Rig (MVR). MVR is an open-file-format container that packages the GDTF files for all of the lighting fixtures in your design, along with a complete 3D model and data describing the positions and 3D elements. This allows you to easily conduct your previz with Vision and communicate directly from your Vectorworks design to your console. The GDTF format is already supported by the grandMA3® console and will be supported by more than 20 of the largest lighting manufacturers in the near future.
