Patch 159
[2] [0] [At] [1] [Enter] patches address 20 to channel 1. Pressing [At] will post channel to the
command line while patching by address.
Additional examples of patch by address:
•
[5] [At] [1][0][0] [Enter] - patches address 5 to channel 100.
•
[2][0][3] [At] [1][2] [Enter] - patches address 203 to channel 12.
Note:
If, at any point, you try to patch an address that is already in use, Eos will post
an advisory to indicate this, preventing you from duplicating addresses in your patch.
Using Output Address vs Port / Offset
The output address is the DMX or network DMX (often called EDMX) address. Examples of
output addresses are 510, 1, and 1024.
Port / offset refers to the DMX universe or port and the offset of the address. For example,
since a single DMX port can transmit 512 addresses (known as a “universe”), the port / offset
for address 515 would look like 2/3 because address 515 is the 3rd address of universe 2.
An example of patching by port / offset in patch by address mode is [2][/][1][0] [At] [2][0]
[Enter], which patches universe 2 address 10, or 522, to channel 20.
[At] [/] [n] [Enter] can be used to patch an address on the same universe that was last used.
Note:
It is possible to patch by either address or port/ offset. Pressing the [Data] key
will move between showing the patch as it was originally entered, then the output
address values, and last the port/ offset.
Note:
An address cannot be assigned to multiple channels, but a channel can have
multiple addresses assigned to it.
Replace
By default, if you patch an address to a channel that is already patched, Eos will create a new
part for the new address. If you want to replace the current address with the new, use
{Replace}:
•
[n] {Replace} [n] [Enter] - replaces the address in part 1 of the selected channel.
•
[1] [Part] [3] {Replace} [5] [Enter] - replaces the address of part 3 with a new address of
5.
At Next
[At] [Next] [Enter] finds the next available address range large enough to accommodate the
selected device.
