Examples of [At] [Next]:
•
[At] [2] [/] [Next] [Enter] - finds the next available address range on universe 2.
•
[At] [7] [7] [7] [Next] [Enter] - finds the next available address after 777.
{Address} [n] [/]
The syntax {Address} [n] [/] or [At] [n] [/] can be used to select a full universe in patch.
•
[channel list] {Address} [n] [/] [Enter] or [channel list] [At] [n] [/] [Enter] - changes the
addresses of all the selected channels to a new universe while using the same offset.
•
{Address}[2] [/] [Copy To] [Copy To] <Address> [3] [/] [Enter] - moves all channels with
addresses in universe 2 to the same offsets in universe 3.
•
{Address} [n] [/] {Unpatch} - unpatches all patched addresses in the selected universe.
Dimmer Doubling
You can patch channels in Eos to accommodate for dimmer doubling with Sensor dimmer
racks. This is done using the softkeys available in patch ({No Dim Dbl}, {A}, and {B}).
Example:
Let’s assume you patch 96 channels of dimmers to addresses 1 through 96.
•
[1] [Thru] [9] [6] [At] [1] [Enter]
Now you wish to dimmer double 1 through 12 of your rack and you
want these to be channels 97 through 108. To patch this, press:
•
[9] [7] [Thru] [1] [0] [8] [At] [1] {B} [Enter]
Channels 97 through 108 are patched to address 1 through 12 B, while
channels 1 through 12 are now patched to address 1 through 12 A.
To remove the dimmer doubling from these addresses, you must first press
[Format] to enter Address mode and then press:
•
[1] [Thru] [1] [2] {NoDimDbl} [Enter]
Addresses 1 through 12 have been returned to single dimmer modes and
channels 97 through 108 are now unpatched.
By default, doubled dimmers start with an offset network DMX address value of 20000.
Therefore, in the above example, address 1B (channel 97) is actually controlled by network
DMX address 20001. Address 2B is actually controlled by network DMX address 20002 and so
on. This offset matches the default offset in CEM+ / CEM3 when configuring your Sensor
dimmer rack for dimmer doubling. To change the default offset value, see
System (on
page 200) .
Note:
For Sensor Classic racks using dimmer doubling, the offset value should be set
to 256.
Note:
Dimmer doubling needs to be turned on per DMX port in Browser > Setup >
System Settings > Output. See Output (on page 207) .
Note:
There is also a Dimmer Doubling setting for Net3 Gateways with DMX
outputs. This is used with Sensor racks that are connected via DMX. The Gateway
must be properly configured.
