Effect
: Effects are continuous repeating patterns of lighting changes that
can be assigned to cues or played back independently. The rate and pattern
of an effect can be recorded and edited. A step of an effect contains up to
ten elements and these elements may include individual channels, device
traits, submasters, groups or cues.
Patch:
Patching is the process of assigning console control channels to
dimmers or automated devices. Patching channels to dimmers or devices
can be done either on a 1 to 1 basis or a custom patch where one channel
can control any number of dimmers.
Profile:
Establishes the actual relationship between the channel level and
the dimmer output. The "default" profile establishes a linear relationship.
Dimmer Protocols:
There are different types of dimmer control signals,
also known
as dimmer protocols
. The current standard for dimmer
protocols is known as DMX 512. The console can transmit DMX 512 or CMX
(Colortran protocol), each of which contains up to 512 dimmer or device
control channels.
