Every lighting manufacturer ships PDFs. Every lighting software rebuilds fixture profiles manually. Every technician copies channel mappings again and again. And somehow this is still normal. So I started building an AI-powered OpenDMX skill for XvX Systems. The idea: • Upload fixture manuals • OCR + parse DMX tables • Extract channel mappings automatically • Store fixture knowledge centrally • Build an open ecosystem for lighting infrastructure The goal is not another closed lighting software. The goal is open infrastructure. Linux-native.AI-assisted.Community-maintained. Current prototype:https://xvx-systems.de/skills/dmxcontrol?lang=en Future plans: • OLA integration • ArtNet support • AI-assisted fixture setup • Web-based patching • Open fixture database • Club automation Lighting infrastructure should behave more like open software ecosystems — not isolated vendor islands. Templates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use. as well , this person and/or
