Currently there is a well defined list of presets available for controlling shutter and strobe. Unfortunately, in the majority of fixture files the old custom definition is used instead of the presets. We would like to update the fixture library to use the defined presets. Are there any concerns about us undertaking this improvement?

Old Format:
<Channel Name="Strobe">
<Group Byte="0">Shutter</Group>
<Capability Min="0" Max="31">Close</Capability>
<Capability Min="32" Max="63">Open</Capability>
<Capability Min="64" Max="95">Strobe (slow-fast)</Capability>
<Capability Min="96" Max="127">Open</Capability>
<Capability Min="128" Max="159">Pulse Strobe (slow-fast)</Capability>
<Capability Min="160" Max="191">Open</Capability>
<Capability Min="192" Max="223">Random Strobe</Capability>
<Capability Min="224" Max="255">Open</Capability>
</Channel>

New Format:
<Channel Name="Strobe">
<Group Byte="0">Shutter</Group>
<Capability Min="0" Max="31" Preset="ShutterClose">Close</Capability>
<Capability Min="32" Max="63" Preset="ShutterOpen">Open</Capability>
<Capability Min="64" Max="95" Preset="StrobeSlowToFast">Strobe (slow-fast)</Capability>
<Capability Min="96" Max="127" Preset="ShutterOpen">Open</Capability>
<Capability Min="128" Max="159" Preset="PulseSlowToFast">Pulse Strobe (slow-fast)</Capability>
<Capability Min="160" Max="191" Preset="ShutterOpen">Open</Capability>
<Capability Min="192" Max="223" Preset="StrobeRandom">Random Strobe</Capability>
<Capability Min="224" Max="255" Preset="ShutterOpen">Open</Capability>
</Channel>
