Patch Settings:
This function allows you to overlap DMX channels
together, giving you up to 96 DMX channels to work with. This function
is useful if you would like several channels on one DMX pack to turn at
once. For example, say you have a 4 channel DMX pack with 5 amps
maximum load per a channel and you want to turn on four 500 watt
lamps on DMX channel one. Your DMX pack is automatically going to
assign one 4 DMX channels to your pack one for one. To reduce the
risk of constantly blowing your pack you can plug each lamp into all
four (4) of your packs channels. Then you can patch these channels
to be triggered all at once. Since each of the 16 channels of the Light
Station™ represent a DMX channel you would only have 16 to work
with. However, if you patch your DMX channels, you could have a
maximum of six DMX channels triggered per a channel on the controller.
So, you could tell your controller to trigger DMX channels 1-4 by slider
1 on the board. This would then activate all four channels on your
DMX pack, allowing all four lamps to be turned on at once, therefore
eliminating the possibility of blowing you pack channels due to excessive
load per a channel, because now your lamps are spread out through
your pack. To patch channels:
1.Press and hold down the PATCH BUTTON (27) until the red
indicator LED turns on.
2.The LCD DISPLAY (6) will read “01:01.” The left two digits
represent the controllers 16 channels (1-8 faders and 9-16 Latch
Buttons). The right two digits represent the 96 available DMX
channels.
3. Use the STEP up and DOWN BUTTONS (20 & 21) to adjust the
DMX channels you wish to patch.
4. Use the PATTERN UP and DOWN BUTTONS (18 & 19) to select
the controller channel (1-16) you wish to patch the DMX channel
too.
5. Be sure to select your DMX channel before you select your
controller channel to complete this function properly.
6. After you have completed your adjustments, hold down the PATCH
BUTTON (27) until the red indicator LED shuts off, to exit this
function.
