Patching Fixtures
After adding the fixtures into the schedule, the next step is to patch the fixtures to the DMX
outputs. Fixtures can be patched individually or in groups.
The Frog 2 has four universes of DMX output, numbered 1 to 4. There are dual outputs for
each universe. It is important to ensure you patch the fixtures to the correct DMX universe.
The Patch Window can display the patch data in three different views on the monitor
(Outputs, Fixtures and Channels). The default view is the Outputs view (see below).
Patching a Group of Fixtures
To patch an entire group of fixtures (eg All MAC 250s) sequentially from a start address:
Press the GROUP key, then select the group from the tool bar on the touch screen. Press
the @ key, enter the DMX start address and then press the ENTER key. For example:
GROUP [MAC 250] @ 1 ENTER
Patching Individual Fixtures
To patch individual fixtures (eg the first MAC 500) at a specified DMX start address:
Press the GROUP key, select the group from the tool bar on the touch screen. Select the
required fixture, press the @ key, enter the DMX start address and then press the ENTER
key. For example:
GROUP [MAC 500] 1 @ 274 ENTER
