The DMX Recorder Tool is designed to streamline the process of setting up, recording, and playing back fixtures data using the built in Take Recorder and Sequencer. The tool is compatible with all actors with a parent class of GenericDMX, including all Carbon library fixtures.

The DMX Recorder Tool consists of two sections:
- Selection Status
- Disable Live Sim
Selection Status
Live DMX: Allows the selected fixtures to be controlled by live DMX connections, and ensures the fixtures are disarmed for recording. Selecting Live DMX will also remove the selected fixtures from the Take Recorder.
Record: Arms the selected fixtures for Take Recorder. Clicking Record will also open the Take Recorder and Sequencer panels if not already open in the editor.
Playback: Preps the selected fixtures to be played back using data from the Sequencer. Fixtures that are armed for playback will not be driven by DMX connections. Disarms the fixtures for recording.
Disable Live Sim
Disables simulation of all GenericDMX fixtures in the scene to improve performance during recording. It is most effective in scenes with a high performance cost.
