20 Event V3 Manual
Getting Started
5.20 Patch
The Event will control up to 512 dimmer channels via the DMX output or 240
channels via the optional analogue output panels. The Patch menu allows these
dimmer channels to be patched at any level to the console channels. There are three
Patch tables available.
Normally when you turn the console on Channel 1 will be patched to dimmer
channel 1, Channel 2 will be patched to dimmer channel 2 and so on for all the
console channels. To change this you use the Patch menu.
Move the cursor to the DIM: field and set a dimmer number (i.e. 1).
Move the cursor to the AT field and set the intensity (normally FF or 100%).
5.22
Patching Multiple Dimmers to a Channel
The CH#, DIM: and AT fields are repeating fields, so it is possible to patch
several dimmers to the one desk channel. However a dimmer can only be
patched to one channel at a time.
5.23
Storing Changes Made in Patch
When all changes to a patch have been made, press the Record button to save
these changes and leave the Patch menu. If you press the Exit key you are
prompted to either save the changes by pressing the
1
(On) button or to
abandon them by pressing the
2
(Off) button.
Press Exit to close Patch menu.
Press Exit again to close Setup menu.
(For information on Clearing a Patch or setting a Null Patch see Section 21.00).
TIP:
It is possible, for example, to set one Patch which includes all dimmers for the
main act, and a different Patch which might not include all dimmers for the
support act. Similarly if a light was knocked out of focus during the show the
Patch could be used to reduce the level of its dimmer to 0 so the light would not
come on at any time.
Changing the Patch number will make the new Patch active immediately - be
careful about making any changes during a show.
5.21
To Patch Dimmers to the Console

Move the cursor to the PTCH field and press the
1
(On) button to open the
Patch menu.
Press the
1
(On) button or Keypad to change the Patch number in PT field
(there are 3 Patches available - 1, 2 and 3).
Move the cursor to the CH# field and set a console channel number (i.e. 1).
