30 30  ** Certain manufacturer-specific fixture Profiles exist in order to help the Pharos controller achieve a consistent output across multiple different fixture types
31 31  * To control the RGB and white channels of an RGBW fixture separately in ShowRunner™, it is necessary to define separate RGB and White fixtures in the Pharos project 
32 -** Add both a generic RGB fixture and a generic White fixture to the layout
33 -** Assign each fixture to a different group
34 -** Patch the RGB fixture
35 -** Patch the White fixture immediately following the RGB fixture (e.g., if the RGB is at address 1, patch the White fixture to address 4)
32 +** Add a generic RGB fixture profile to the layout

36 36  * Individual Fixtures can belong to multiple Fixture Groups, allowing ShowRunner™ to send different types of command (e.g. RGB vs CCT) to the same fixture 
37 37  ** Useful for certain situations, such as HSIC fixtures that need to be controlled as color-changing (RGB) in some situations but dynamic white (intensity/CCT) in others
38 38  ** In this scenario, one group would be defined in ShowRunner™ as an RGB load and one group would be defined as a Dynamic White load
