GDTF Share Crossing the 7000 Total File Count Mark

The total number of manufacturer- and user-generated GDTF files in the GDTF Share has surpassed 7000, marking a significant milestone, as the entertainment industry manufacturers move towards general support for this technology. Recent GDTF Share Reports of the past few months indicate a consistent increase in support for GDTF from multiple lighting fixture manufacturers, including the newly joining JB Systems, ER Productions, EK Lights, Rasha Professional, Volux, and others. Do note that the monthly reports are focused on total count of devices and do not include counts for multiple file revisions.

Reaching a Milestone: GDTF Share Surpasses 3000 Total File Count

The total number of manufacturer- and user-generated GDTF files in the GDTF Share has surpassed 3000, a significant milestone as the entertainment industry moves towards general support for this technology. The report for October, which we have previously shared in this post, highlights another uptake of GDTF devices from multiple lighting fixture manufacturers like ADJ, JBL, and Chauvet. (The monthly report is focused on total count of devices without including their variations or revisions.) In this instance, the lucky file that hit the 3000 mark was one of Robe's GDTFs for older devices, demonstrating manufacturer's commitment to providing GDTF support even for products launched prior to its creation, while still in use in productions.
